Character cottage with private garden and proven holiday-let income.
Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, flexible family layout
A beautifully preserved thatched cottage offering flexible family accommodation and genuine income potential. The house has four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two reception rooms—one featuring a cosy multi-fuel stove—and a spacious kitchen-diner that anchors day-to-day life and entertaining. The full re-thatch completed in 2024 gives immediate peace of mind for the roof, while the characterful finishes and exposed beams retain authentic period appeal.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking for two cars and a mature, enclosed rear garden with varied planting and a small nature pond, providing a private outdoor retreat. The layout is practical for family use, and part of the first-floor arrangement has been successfully used as an Airbnb, offering a straightforward route to supplemental income if required.
Practical points to note: the house is over 100 years old with cob walls and a thatched roof, so specialist maintenance and specific insurance considerations apply. Council tax is above average. Double glazing is present, but the installation date is unknown. These are typical matters for an older, character property and should be factored into ongoing running costs.
Set in Broadmayne village with excellent local schools and easy access to Dorchester and the Jurassic Coast, this home will suit buyers seeking countryside character combined with modern comfort and optional rental revenue. Viewing will best reveal the balance of period charm and everyday practicality on offer.
