Summary - OLD ORCHARD ORCHARD CLOSE NEWTON STURMINSTER NEWTON DT10 2HN
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious period cottage on a large plot with parking and renovation potential.
Grade II listed stone cottage with abundant period character
Old Orchard is an attractive Grade II listed stone cottage set on a large, mature plot in Newton, on the fringes of Sturminster Newton. The house offers generous reception space, a heritage-style conservatory and two principal reception rooms connected to a kitchen, giving flexible family living and good entertaining flow. An intriguing loft room accessed from the principal bedroom adds scope for a home office or snug.
The plot and parking are strong practical assets: off-street parking behind double gates, garage and a level lawn with mature shrub borders. The garden has just been fully fenced and provides plenty of scope for landscaping or extension (subject to listed-building constraints). The property is offered with no onward chain, which could ease timing for buyers able to take on a period project.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: retrospective listed-building consent is being sought for the conservatory and the listing will restrict some alterations. The cottage shows signs of external maintenance and garden clearance required; walls appear uninsulated (traditional stone), so energy and improvement works are likely. There is also mixed information on heating provision noted in the paperwork (mains gas boiler listed, with another note referring to oil-fired heating) — a buyer should confirm current heating type and service history. Overall, the house suits purchasers seeking character, space and renovation potential in a quiet village setting.
