Summary - MANOR COTTAGE WINTERBORNE HOUGHTON BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 0PD
4 bed 2 bath Detached
A peaceful village home with generous gardens and conversion potential.
Grade C18 thatched cottage, sympathetically restored throughout
Manor Cottage is an 18th‑century thatched cottage, recently and sympathetically restored to retain original character while offering modern comfort. The interior includes a cosy sitting room with an inglenook and woodburner, a separate dining room, study/reading room, refitted kitchen and utility. One guest bedroom benefits from a private staircase and ground‑floor ensuite, giving flexible accommodation for visitors or family.
The house sits in just under half an acre of mature, well‑stocked gardens with lawns, terraces, three greenhouses and productive raised beds. A gated gravel drive leads to a detached double garage, adjoining workshop and attic storage; the local planning authority has been engaged about the possibility of converting these buildings into a self‑contained annexe.
Practical details: the property is freehold, uses electric heating, and drains to a private treatment plant. Broadband is FTTC and the property is currently connected to Starlink; mobile signal is average. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the Land Registry title suggests covenants and easements affect the site — buyers should seek solicitor advice.
Well suited to retirement living, a comfortable country retreat or an upmarket holiday let, Manor Cottage combines period charm, generous outdoor space and versatile outbuildings. Its peaceful village setting backs onto open fields while still being within driving distance of Blandford and the wider Dorset coast and transport links.
