Characterful two-bedroom cottage with garden and countryside views in Abbotsbury.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original beams and stone features
Set in the heart of picturesque Abbotsbury, this Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a compact, character-filled home with sweeping views towards St Catherine’s Chapel. Exposed beams, a stone-surround fireplace and a vaulted dining room create a warm, historic feel while the kitchen provides modern integrated appliances for everyday convenience. The terraced garden is tiered and sunny, with a shingled terrace for al fresco dining and an upper lawn that captures the best panoramas.
Practical benefits include two allocated off-street parking spaces and a low, affordable council tax band. The property’s size and layout suit a couple or downsizer seeking a quiet village base with immediate access to coastal walks, local amenities and the Abbeysbury attractions. Shared garden access is arranged for the terrace but privacy is retained by the staggered tiers and established planting.
Important practical considerations: the cottage is leasehold with approximately 47 years remaining and a modest service charge of £272. The limited lease term and listed status may restrict available mortgage options and will place responsibilities on the owner for listed-building consent for alterations. Broadband speeds are slow and the shower room is compact, both factors to note for modern convenience preferences.
For a buyer who values authentic period character and countryside views over contemporary open-plan space, this cottage offers immediate charm and a peaceful coastal lifestyle. Buyers should obtain mortgage advice early and factor listed-building rules into any plans to update or alter the property.
