This charming detached period cottage, known as "The Anchorage", is situated in the heart of the picturesque Dorset village of Longburton. The property boasts a generous level plot of 0.11 acres, with a private driveway providing off-road parking for four to five cars and an attached single garage. The cottage has a wealth of character features, including exposed beams, stone and brick open fireplaces, window seats, and flagstone floors. The interior has a lovely east-to-west aspect, allowing for plenty of natural light to pour in. The deceptively spacious accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room/ground floor bathroom, and three generous double bedrooms and a family shower room on the first floor. The property also features a large, detached natural stone barn/workshop in the grounds, which offers potential for extension or storage. With its idyllic village setting, countryside walks from the front door, and easy access to the historic town of Sherborne and the mainline railway station, this lovely home is a must-see.
