Pretty Dorset cottage
A Grade II listed cottage, on the edge of the popular Dorset hamlet of Plush, is being launched on the market


Plush is a hamlet that has drawn plenty of buyers from London, says Richard Taylor of estate agents Symonds & Sampson.
Four Corners is Grade II listed and has recently undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment. It has three bedrooms and 1/2 an acre of garden.
The hamlet has drawn buyers from all over the country. The local pub, The Brace of Pheasants, is a popular spot and the nearest shop is in Piddletrenthide, about 1 1/2 miles away. The hamlet is within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there is a good network of footpaths and bridleways. Meanwhile, direct trains to London (Waterloo) are from Dorchester, 9 miles to the south.
Guide price: £455,000 through Symonds & Sampson 01305 265058
