A charming and characterful two-bedroom Hamstone cottage, occupying a peaceful position along a quiet country lane on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Compton Durville. Properties in this particularly desirable location rarely come to the market, making this an exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional rural home with generous outdoor space, excellent privacy and far-reaching countryside views.
The property is approached from a quiet country lane onto a private shared drive, where off road parking for three vehicles can be found.
