2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Lovingly restored two-bedroom thatched cottage with large southerly garden and garage..
Grade II listed 1700s cottage with restored original features
A Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage dating from the 1700s, recently restored to retain original character while providing comfortable living. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and traditional thatched-cottage charm sit alongside sympathetic renovation work and modern broadband. The house extends to about 892 sq ft and offers a large, southerly-aspect mature garden — ideal for gardening or outdoor entertaining.
Set in a semi-rural hamlet north of Wimborne, the location is peaceful with very low local crime and nearby country walks and a forest. Practical conveniences include a garage, private parking and fast broadband, while primary schools rated Good are within easy reach. There is no flood risk for the site.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: repairs, alterations and any exterior changes will be subject to listed-building controls and can be more costly and slow to approve. Mobile phone signal is absent on site, and council tax is Band E (above average). The cottage is EPC exempt due to its listed classification.
This home suits someone looking to downsize into a character-filled home or seeking a countryside base with manageable grounds. It offers immediate move-in condition following renovation, but ongoing maintenance of historic features and thatch should be expected and budgeted for.
