Summary - OLD QUARRY POUND HILL WITCHAMPTON WIMBORNE BH21 5AW
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Charming Grade II cottage with large gardens and village views, ideal for family life..
Grade II listed 1844 cottage with strong period character
Set in the peaceful Dorset village of Witchampton, Old Quarry is a Grade II listed three-bedroom semi-detached cottage built in 1844. The house keeps much of its original character—red brick façade, decorative hood moulds and chimneys—while offering practical family accommodation with a kitchen/dining room, sitting room and a ground-floor shower room. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and enjoys countryside views.
The property sits on a large plot with generous front and rear gardens and far-reaching rural views. Off-street driveway parking is provided behind a traditional five-bar gate. Broadband is reported as fast and mobile signal average; the village has a strong community feel with a shop, village club, church and an Ofsted-rated Good first school within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the listed status: as a Grade II building, any alterations or significant maintenance will require listed-building consent and may complicate or add cost to renovation plans. The property is of solid brick construction with no known insulation in the walls (typical of the period), and heating is by an oil-fired boiler on private supply. Drainage is to a shared septic tank. These factors will influence energy performance and running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking historic character and village life—families, downsizers, or those after a rural retreat—and provides scope for sensitive updating rather than wholesale redevelopment. Freehold tenure, very low local crime and a large garden add to the appeal, while those wanting modern, low-maintenance living should factor in the likely cost and permissions associated with upgrading a listed, solid-wall Victorian property.
