A delightful terraced Grade II listed cottage in one of Dorset’s prettiest
villages.
Built in the 16th Century, No 3 The Street, or Vale Cottage, is a Grade II
listed terrace house of great character and charm, with stone elevations and a
pitched tiled roof.
The house has been lovingly maintained with several upgrades of a new kitchen,
pressurized hot water, and sisal carpets in the sitting room and stairs.
The front door opens immediately to a double reception room with an exposed
beam dividing the dining and sitting areas. A fine and large Inglenook fire
place is the main feature with its inset wood burner and an impressive
Bressumer beam above.
The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units and a dresser for further
storage and a new peninsular island bar. A utility area is off to one side and
the downstairs gents further on. The back door opens up to the patio area
before steps rise to the rear garden.
From the sitting room the stairs rise to the 1st floor with a refurbished
bathroom and three bedrooms. Bedroom 1, with views over the garden, has a
large recessed area for wardrobes or free standing dressing. A loft ladder
gives access to the boarded loft area.
**Situation**
Stour Provost is a very pretty village with a good community within easy reach
of the A303 and Gillingham main line station to London and the West Country.
Sturminster Newton is about 6 miles away and Gillingham, Shaftesbury and
Sherborne all have facilities for most everyday needs including good ranges of
shops, supermarkets, churches, health centres, libraries and art centre. More
comprehensive facilities are available at Yeovil, Salisbury and Bath.
**Directions**
From Shaftesbury take the A30 west towards Sherborne. On reaching East Stour
turn left on to the B3092 signed to Marnhull and Sturminster Newton. The first
crossroads you come to is for Stour Provost. Turn right into the village and
right again at the small crossroads. No 3 will be found immediately on the
right hand side.
**Outside**
From the kitchen, there is a patio area with space for table and chairs. Steps
lead up to the level lawned garden bordered by mature shrubs. A shed is to the
back of the garden and a right of way over the rear neighbour takes you to St
Michael’s Church.
