This handsome Victorian terraced cottage has been extensively modernised and is offered chain free — an appealing move-in ready option for first-time buyers or downsizers. The interior balances period character (chimney breasts, exposed brick) with contemporary comforts: new boiler, upgraded electrics, replacement windows and doors, and a fully refitted bathroom. The kitchen includes integrated appliances and French doors that open to the garden, creating a useful indoor–outdoor flow.
Externally the property punches above its terrace appearance: a charming rear garden is partly enclosed by flint walls and includes several powered outbuildings, a covered seating area and a large shed — useful as home office, workshop or storage. The plot is modest but well laid out with patios and a lawn, and the cottage sits close to local village amenities, good schools and countryside footpaths, with Dorchester under five miles away.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The house is a solid-brick, pre-1900 build with no known cavity insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. The front has a narrow pavement frontage and the roof shows signs of moss, indicating routine maintenance may be needed. There is no detailed parking information and the property sits within a conservation area, which can affect some changes to the exterior.
Overall this mid-terrace cottage offers ready-to-enjoy accommodation, useful external workspace and modern services while retaining period charm. It suits purchasers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home in a prosperous village setting with good links to Dorchester and the Dorset coast.
