A charming 18th-century thatched cottage, The Old Thatch blends period character with recent modernisation. Extending to nearly 1,800 sq ft, the house offers generous, flexible family accommodation including a large open-plan kitchen/living space, separate sitting room/study, utility/boot room and a ground-floor shower room that could serve as a fourth bedroom. Three double first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation.
The cottage was comprehensively refurbished by the current owners and rethatched in 2019. Improvements include double glazing (2013), modern gas boiler with radiators and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system, which together deliver improved comfort and energy efficiency while retaining cottage character.
Outside, the south-facing, easy-to-manage garden is mostly to the front with a paved terrace, lavender beds and a neat lawn enclosed by hedging and fencing for privacy. Vehicular access from Jubilee Way leads to parking for several cars, a large single garage and a rear workshop/store — useful for hobbies or extra storage.
Practical points to note: the cottage is freehold and offered with no onward chain, but it sits in a village conservation-style setting where thatch and period walls may require specialist maintenance. Council Tax is Band E (above average). Broadband and mobile connectivity are excellent, and the location gives straightforward road links to Blandford, Wimborne, Poole and the A31.
