The Property - This charming detached cottage is nestled in the highly sought after Tarrant Valley and enjoys countryside views over surrounding farmland. The accommodation requires renovation throughout and provides scope for remodelling or extension (subject to planning permission and any other consents). The existing accommodation is surprisingly spacious and comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and utility. The first floor provides 3 bedrooms and a spacious landing area. The property sits in grounds of 0.20 acres with off-road parking and a garage/workshop.
Situation - The cottage is situated on the edge of Tarrant Rushton, within the Tarrant Valley and the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs National Landscape (AONB), a secluded and attractive location in rural countryside.

The coastal town of Bournemouth is 16 miles and the County Town of Dorchester is 20 miles distant. There are good communication links with the A350 giving access to the A31/M27/M3 to London. The nearest mainline railway service is from Poole, and airport at Bournemouth.
Tarrant Rushton enjoys an excellent network of footpaths and bridleways with routes to the surrounding villages with a farm shop and village inns.
