Timeless Charm on one of Stalbridge's Most Desirable Streets:-

Located on the much-coveted Gold Street — one of the prettiest and most sought-after addresses in Stalbridge — this semi-detached Victorian cottage is a rare find. Built in the 1870s and set within a protected conservation area, it offers a unique blend of heritage, character, and location, just a few steps from the town’s High Street and all its everyday essentials.

Beyond the classic sash windows, which continue throughout the cottage and the attractive façade, you'll find a surprisingly spacious interior — over 1,000 sq. ft/ 101 sq. m. — filled with plenty of natural light and rich in period detail. Exceptionally high ceilings, picture rails, original exposed floorboards, and three fireplaces (including a working open fire) all whisper of the home’s history while inviting you to make it your own.

The cosy sitting room is full of warmth and charm, with ample room for a dining table and chairs, and the kitchen — with its large walk-in pantry — offers a warm heart-of-the-home feel. A separate storage room or small den gives you that always-handy extra space. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms continue the sense of light and space, and the large bathroom is full of potential — ready for transformation into a luxurious retreat. Step outside and you’ll find a sweet, low-maintenance courtyard garden — just the spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Even better? Two private parking spaces — a true luxury in this location.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a professional seeking charm and convenience, or looking for a lock up and leave, weekend escape, this beautifully preserved cottage is full of heart, character, and promise. A perfect blend of town and tranquility, rustic charm and modern living — this cottage is ready to welcome you home.
