Set in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around Godmanstone, this detached three-bedroom cottage combines period charm with contemporary living. The ground floor offers a wide open-plan kitchen and living area with bi-fold doors onto a west-facing patio, a cosy wood burner, and a practical office/snug – ideal for family life and home working. The property includes a summer house and tiered garden, plus a gravel drive providing off-street parking for several cars.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and fitted en-suite. The family bathroom features a roll-top bath and Victorian-style tiling that complements the cottage character. Overall presentation is good and the EPC is rated C, reflecting reasonable energy performance for the age and style of the house.
Practical points to note: heating is by LPG boiler with bulk gas supply, which can be more expensive and requires periodic deliveries. Broadband speeds are reported as slow locally, so streaming and heavy remote-working needs may be affected without an upgrade. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area—buyers should check the latest Environment Agency guidance and insurance implications. Council tax is in band E, above average for the area.
This home will suit families or downsizers seeking village life with easy access to Dorchester’s amenities, good local schools, and extensive walking routes nearby. It presents comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation with scope to personalise the interior and improve connectivity or energy systems over time.
