A Grade II listed Victorian end-terrace cottage offering substantial scope for sympathetic restoration in the Bride Valley. Set in a hamlet within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property sits on a large plot of approximately 0.23 acres with productive former allotment, greenhouse, polytunnel and potential for garaging and parking off the shared driveway.
The house retains original period character — exposed floorboards, picture rails, feature fireplaces and a dated but solid wood kitchen — yet requires considerable renovation. The first-floor electrics are not working, some windows are single-glazed crittall, and there are loose maintenance issues: ivy on the stone elevations and outbuildings in dilapidated condition. An oil-fired boiler was installed about ten years ago, but the property may not be mortgageable in its current state.
This home will suit buyers seeking a country lifestyle or a restoration project: tradespeople, historic-property enthusiasts or gardeners who value space and privacy. Planning or Listed Building consent may be required for changes because of the listing; purchasers should allow for restoration costs and consult relevant authorities before works.
Practical benefits include mains services, spring-fed irrigation water, off-street parking and good mobile and broadband availability. The village offers a supportive community, nearby primary schools and easy access to Dorchester, Bridport and the Jurassic Coast for amenities and rail links.
