*GUIDE PRICE £800,000-£825,000* *NO ONWARD CHAIN*. Maple Cottage is a wonderful 4-5 bedroom DETACHED family home and is coming to the market for the first time since it was built in 2008. The property is presented in IMMACULATE order throughout having been lovingly maintained and improved by the owners and offers nearly 2,300 sq ft of family living accommodation.

Set within a SMALL and EXCLUSIVE CUL-DE-SAC of only 6 other houses in the very HEART OF THE VILLAGE of Iwerne Minster, this beautiful property is only a few minutes walk to the Talbot Arms Pub, Village Shop, Village Hall and open countryside. It is a very QUIET LOCATION, yet is central to this extremely popular North Dorset Village.

The property simply oozes QUALITY and comfort throughout with good overall room proportions and flow. The heart of this home is most definitely the Kitchen/Diner/Family room which is filled with light from the SOUTH WEST FACING GARDEN and is arguably where you will spend the majority of your time. The property offers flexibility with two options for ground floor bedrooms, one currently set aside as a home office, the other, an additional reception room. The 3 DOUBLE BEDROOMS on the first floor are all of a good size with two being ensuite. The ground floor also has a very useful shower room, access to the INTEGRAL GARAGE (with electric door, light and power) and a SEPARATE UTILITY ROOM to the side of the kitchen giving access to the rear garden and brick built store. The WALLED rear garden is bathed in sunshine and whilst not huge, feels very private, has a patio area for Alfresco Dining, lawned area with mature borders surrounding it and ornamental hedgerows making it a VERY EASY TO MAINTAIN space. The oil tank that provides the central heating is neatly hidden to one corner of the garden and the garden store, houses your logs and gardening tools. A side gate gives access to the garden from the driveway and a convenient outside tap is on hand to clean muddy paws and boots after a long country walk.

Of particular note within the interior of the house is the VAULTED CEILING in the living room with EXPOSED BEAMS, a feature fireplace with oak mantle, EXPOSED BRICKWORK and LOG BURNER providing a cosy retreat on winter evenings.

With UNDERFLOOR HEATING to the ground floor, a sprinkler system, strong broadband, modern INTEGRAL appliances in the kitchen including a professional Rangemaster oven, dedicated wine fridge, integral Fridge/Freezer, fitted shutter blinds giving shade from the sun, this property is a must-see for those who require a comfortable family home within a beautifully kept Village. Off-road parking is immediately in front of the house. The Village of Iwerne Minster is steeped in history and lies roughly equidistant between the Georgian Market Town of Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury thus offering an easy commute to both for a more extensive range of amenities.
