Summary - 6 CATTISTOCK ROAD MAIDEN NEWTON DORCHESTER DT2 0AG
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Character-rich three-bedroom cottage with attractive gardens in peaceful Maiden Newton — ideal family home needing some traditional upkeep..
Three-bedroom detached period cottage with village location
This attractive three-bedroom detached cottage on Cattistock Road blends authentic period character with practical living space. The sitting and dining rooms feature exposed beams and a deep fireplace; the kitchen opens to a well-stocked, sheltered garden with summerhouse and vegetable beds — ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining. Located in a quiet West Dorset village, local amenities, a good primary school and the station are within easy reach.
The property is a traditional build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and internal insulation, double glazing and a mix of electric storage heaters and an oil-fired stove with back boiler. These heating arrangements make running costs variable and mean the cottage is best suited to buyers who accept higher-than-average energy bills or who are planning heating upgrades. Ceiling heights and some room sizes are modest, consistent with cottage proportions.
Maintenance and running considerations are material: the thatched roof and period fabric require specialist inspection and ongoing care, and the property shows typical historic cottage limitations rather than a modern low-maintenance home. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is above the local average. On the positive side there is no flood risk recorded, mobile signal is excellent and the enclosed garden offers privacy and strong kerb appeal.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a characterful village cottage with immediate garden enjoyment and scope to improve energy performance. Buyers should budget for specialist thatch maintenance and consider heating upgrades to reduce future running costs.
