Set in the heart of historic Beaminster, this Grade II listed terraced cottage blends period character with practical, compact living. The sitting room retains exposed beams and a stone fireplace, while a modern kitchen and separate utility room serve everyday needs. Two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two bathrooms give flexible accommodation across approximately 918 sq ft. Its town-centre location places shops, cafes and community amenities on your doorstep.
This property is ideal for someone downsizing or seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave/holiday base: the gravelled courtyard garden is private and easy to care for, and the sale is offered with no onward chain. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — convenient for occasional remote working or staying connected while away.
Buyers should note the material constraints of a Grade II listing: alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so energy upgrade options are limited and should be considered when budgeting. The cottage’s low ceilings and relatively modest room sizes reflect its period proportions.
Overall, the house offers genuine period charm and central convenience in an affluent, low-crime small town. It suits a purchaser who values characterful, easy-to-manage living close to local amenities and the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while accepting the practical limits that listed status and original construction bring.
