A rare semi-detached thatched cottage set in about 0.26 acres of gardens and grounds, offered for sale at auction. The house dates from the late 1950s and currently requires complete renovation throughout, making it a blank canvas for re‑modelling and extension subject to planning permission (STPP). Its rural setting delivers open countryside views and good road links to Bere Regis, Wareham, Dorchester and the Jurassic Coast.
Practical details to note: the property is freehold, will be sold at auction, and benefits from off‑street parking, mains water and electricity. Heating is via a biomass/community scheme currently owned and maintained by the seller; drainage is to a shared septic tank which does not meet modern regulations and will require replacement or a treatment plant at the buyer’s cost. Rights of way and an adjoining lot are shown on the sale plan.
For a developer, renovator or buyer seeking a countryside project, the plot size and setting are strong assets — there is scope to reconfigure and extend (STPP) to create a larger family home or a higher-value holiday/rental opportunity. The property’s thatched appearance and cob walls provide period character, but the interior and services are dated and need full refurbishment.
Viewers should budget for substantial works including drainage upgrade, interior refurbishment and possible permissions for structural change. The cottage is positioned in a quiet hamlet with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and reasonable access to rail at Moreton, making it practical as a countryside base once refurbished.
