Summary - BURDENS COTTAGE PIDDLETRENTHIDE DORCHESTER DT2 7QU
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Character-filled 3-bed cottage on a large plot with double garage and riverside edge.
Extensively renovated: new roof, wiring, plumbing and efficient oil boiler
A thoughtfully renovated period cottage set in the peaceful Piddle Valley, Burdens Cottage blends original character with practical modern upgrades. The current owner has carried out extensive works including a new roof, re-wiring, replumbing and an efficient oil boiler, leaving a move-in-ready home with exposed stonework, inglenook fireplaces and a stylish, vaulted bathroom. The house sits on a large, well-kept plot with a level lawn, fruit trees, vegetable beds, summerhouse and pleasant waterside boundary with the River Piddle.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and suits family life: a sitting room and adjoining snug both have wood burners and character details, while the kitchen/dining room provides a generous social hub with an electric AGA and space for everyday dining. Upstairs are three bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and an impressive bathroom with freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. Practical storage includes a side store housing the boiler and a detached double garage with power and light plus ample off-street parking.
This cottage will particularly appeal to buyers seeking village living with good outdoor space and character yet modern comforts. Note the property uses oil-fired heating (not a community supply) and broadband is very slow in this remoter area; mobile signal is excellent. There is a neighbouring right of way alongside the garage and the property lies in a medium flood risk zone—vendors state it has never flooded. Council tax band is above average. Overall, a comfortable, characterful family home in an attractive rural setting with scope to enjoy and personalise the garden and interiors.
