Description:

Three bedroom cottage. On the ground floor is an entrance hall and modern shower/cloakroom. The fitted kitchen has a range of white floor and wall units with a built-in electric oven, hob, fitted fridge and freezer. The large sitting/dining room has two windows looking out over the front of the property and French doors leading out to the patio garden at the rear. The private rear garden is low maintenance, with a large paved area surrounded by small flower beds. On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and the main bathroom. There is electric heating and double glazing throughout the property and two separate, boarded, loft areas, which are accessed via folding ladders.

Situation: Walpole Court is set in the delightful village of Puddletown in the valley of the River Piddle near Dorchester. This retirement development has been created from the former stables, garden cottages and walled garden of the beautiful 17th century Islington House, home of the first Lord Walpole (later Earl of Orford) and still a magnificent private residence. The small courtyard is formed by the attractively converted 19th century stables and garden cottages and backs onto the main courtyard approached through an archway from Orford Street. Both courtyards are open to the south bounded by the Islington House drive with its magnificent yew hedges and the old garden wall.
Further information: Puddletown lies about nine miles from the sea near Weymouth and is now by-passed by the A35 to the north of the village. Puddletown Forest has a mile long avenue of Rhododendrons and nearby is Athelhampton Hall, a magnificent 15th century house. Elizabethan Waterston Manor is on the other side of the village.
Communications: Puddletown is on the A35 Dorchester to Bournemouth road at its junction with the A354 from Blandford Forum and Salisbury. Dorchester is five miles away from where there is a frequent train service to London via Poole, Bournemouth and Southampton taking about two and a half hours.
