Summary - ORCHARD COTTAGE STOKE ABBOTT BEAMINSTER DT8 3JR
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming village cottage with garden, sold by auction—ideal for peaceful rural living.
Stone-built period cottage in AONB hamlet setting
Orchard Cottage is a stone-built period home tucked away in Stoke Abbott, within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The layout is traditional and practical: a dual-aspect sitting room with a woodburner, an airy kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances, ground-floor bathroom and two double bedrooms upstairs. The rear garden is peaceful and bordered by mature trees and shrubs—an attractive low-maintenance outdoor space for country living.
Important practical points are clear: the property is offered freehold and chain free but will be sold at public auction with a guide price of £240,000–£250,000; a public notice/repossession applies. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s limestone/sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs and retrofit work should be considered. There is no mobile signal on site and broadband speeds are average.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a quiet rural base, downsizers wanting character and manageable grounds, or investors comfortable buying at auction. The house presents good immediate use as a comfortable home and modest scope for improvement (insulation, heating upgrades) to enhance comfort and running costs. Viewings are via strict, pre-arranged dates ahead of the auction.
