Located on the very outskirts of this beautiful rural village of Pimperne, Dorset, sits this charming character cottage "Littlecote". Rumour has it, it once housed Derby-winning racehorses.
Starting life as a stable block for the aforementioned horses, it was converted in the 1960's into a single-storey dwelling. The current owners have used the ample attic space, which now has a snug, a study, a place to rest your head - and still ample loft storage. (Building regulations would need to be applied for and a conventional staircase installed, if it was to be used as accommodation. The cottage is steeped in history dating back to the turn of the 19th century and is featured in "The History of Pimperne". Enjoying views over the surrounding countryside, this cottage has been the muse for both artists and musicians alike and is perfectly located for festival lovers. The Great Dorset Steam Fair is within easy walking distance. The Larmer Tree is a short bus ride away and Teddy Rocks is reachable by a shuttle bus from the nearby Georgian Town of Blandford Forum.
