THE PROPERTY
Set in the picturesque village of Puncknowle, just a few miles from Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast, Drood Cottage is a beautifully presented attached period home believed to date from the mid-19th century. Constructed from local stone under a slate roof, the cottage combines traditional character with high-quality modern finishes.
Over recent years, the property has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and sympathetic extension, creating exceptionally comfortable and stylish accommodation. Character features include sash-style windows with window seats, original pine doors, and attractive fireplaces, all enhancing the cottage’s period charm.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating via a modern combi boiler, and a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a tiled floor and quality appliances including a Rangemaster cooker with matching hood, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, and integrated fridge and freezer. The bathrooms and shower rooms are finished to a contemporary standard.
The property comprises on the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a charming living room with working fireplace and a separate dining room with a feature fireplace, both full of character. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality appliances and finishes with a door that opens to a rear lobby with access to a convenient cloakroom.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, alongside two further bedrooms served by a stylish Jack-and-Jill shower room shared between bedrooms two and three.
OUTSIDE
To the front, the cottage is set back from the lane with hardstanding providing parking for one to two vehicles. At the rear, a west-facing stone courtyard offers a sunny, sheltered space with an external store. A nearby pedestrian path leads to a large, well-stocked secluded garden detached from the property, featuring established trees, shrubs, and a substantial stone wall, providing a private and tranquil outdoor retreat.
