Summary - LYDGATE HIGH STREET SPETISBURY BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 9DP
3 bed 2 bath Character Property
Sunny courtyard, large gardens and village views ideal for family life.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with period features and inglenook fireplace
Lydgate is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage set at the end of a private drive in historic Spetisbury. The house offers a large reception room with an inglenook fireplace, a kitchen/breakfast room opening onto a sunny courtyard, and three bedrooms including a convenient ground-floor bedroom and a first-floor bedroom with an en-suite roll-top bath.
The walled courtyard, layered gardens and lawns rise to reveal far-reaching views over the Stour Valley and farmland beyond — a rare combination of privacy and rural outlook so close to Blandford. Off-street parking for two to three cars and fast broadband make the cottage practical for modern family life while keeping its period character.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and thatched roof: both protect character but bring restrictions and additional maintenance responsibilities. The layout includes period features and some irregular room shapes typical of older cottages; council tax is above average. For a family seeking character, space and village life with countryside access, this cottage offers genuine appeal and scope to personalise.
