Summary - CROSS COTTAGE BACK LANE STURMINSTER MARSHALL WIMBORNE BH21 4BP
Thatched, character cottage with countryside views
Cross Cottage is a charming early 1900s semi-detached cottage with plenty of period character and a large mature garden that backs onto farmland. The house offers flexible family accommodation with four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous kitchen/diner with an adjoining garden room, both benefiting from wood-burning stoves for cosy, low-cost heating. The main bedroom faces the garden and open fields, providing a peaceful outlook and a strong countryside feel.
Practical positives include two ground-floor bedrooms and a modern wet room, useful for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. The property sits in a conservation area in a popular village location within walking distance of local amenities and about five miles from Wimborne. Off-street parking and outbuildings are likely given the plot size and rural setting.
Buyers should note the property’s thatched roof and age: thatch requires specialist maintenance and may attract higher insurance costs. Being in a conservation area can restrict external alterations. The heating system, mains and appliances have not been tested, so buyers should arrange inspections and a full survey. EPC C and Council Tax Band C are noted.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character, garden space and countryside living close to village facilities. It also has scope for sympathetic updating where required, but purchasers should budget for ongoing thatch and period-property maintenance and confirm services and legal details before commitment.
