Laurel Cottage Hugglers Hole, Semley

A charming and highly individual property occupying an exceptional setting in the highly desirable village of Semley, surrounded by approximately 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds and enjoying a wonderfully peaceful rural environment whilst having planning consent to create a four bedroom family home around 2400 square feet for those seeking a considerably larger home.

Internally, the ground floor is centred around a particularly impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area. This generous room provides an excellent social space, with ample room for both a substantial dining table and comfortable seating. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the grounds. The open-plan arrangement makes this a highly versatile space for everyday living and entertaining.

The sitting room is positioned to one side and provides a separate, more intimate reception space. With natural light and views towards the surrounding grounds, this would make an ideal room in which to relax away from the main living area.

Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned double bedroom, which could equally lend itself to use as a guest bedroom, home office or additional reception space depending upon the requirements of the next owner. A separate shower room serves the ground floor accommodation.

A useful store provides excellent additional storage and could be particularly useful for garden equipment, bicycles and general household items.

The first floor is particularly impressive, with the principal bedroom occupying a substantial proportion of the upper level. This generous room offers plenty of space for a large bed and additional furniture, together with a pleasant outlook. The bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and private principal bedroom suite.

The first-floor landing provides access to the bedroom and also offers useful flexibility for storage or additional workspace.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The gardens extend to approximately 1.5 acres and are predominantly laid to lawn, creating a magnificent expanse of private outdoor space. The sheer scale of the grounds is increasingly rare and provides considerable scope for a variety of uses.

The pond adds a lovely natural feature to the garden and enhances the sense of tranquillity that surrounds the property. There is ample room for seating areas, entertaining, children's play, gardening projects or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the setting.

The grounds also provide excellent potential for those with an interest in landscaping, horticulture or outdoor living, subject of course to any necessary consents.

The property is approached via a stone-pillared entrance to its own drive and parking area. It is envisaged that a dividing hedge will be planted to provide privacy for both it and neighbouring Langlands.

Semley is a highly regarded rural village set within the beautiful Dorset countryside, close to the Wiltshire border and surrounded by some of the area's most attractive rolling landscapes. The village has a strong sense of community and retains much of its traditional character, with a mixture of period cottages, character homes and more modern properties set amongst open countryside.

Despite its peaceful setting, Semley is particularly well placed for access to nearby towns and everyday amenities.

The nearby village of Tisbury, approximately six miles away, provides further amenities including shops, cafés, restaurants, a doctor's surgery and a railway station with services towards Salisbury and London Waterloo. Gillingham is also within easy reach, providing a wider selection of shops, schools, leisure facilities and a mainline railway station.

For those seeking a larger town or city, Salisbury is approximately 20 miles away and offers an extensive range of shopping, cultural and leisure facilities, whilst the cathedral city is also well connected by road and rail. The A303 is readily accessible, providing convenient connections towards London and the West Country.
