Beautifully presented village cottage with gardens, garage and coastal access.
Grade II listed thatched stone cottage with strong period character
Wessex Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed thatched cottage set in the heart of Osmington village. The house blends original stone features, impressive fireplaces and exposed stonework with comfortable modern updates: an extended sitting room with a snug, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a modern ground-floor shower room. The pretty front and rear gardens, flagged patio and raised beds create private outdoor space and a summer sun trap.
The layout suits a family or those seeking a rural village lifestyle: three bedrooms on the first floor (one currently used as a study), a generous master bedroom, separate dining room and useful utility room. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a single garage plus an adjacent parking space in a nearby block.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status restricts alterations and will complicate renovation or insulation works. The stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the thatched roof will require specialist maintenance and periodic rethatching. The plot is small and the garage is off the cottage in a nearby block rather than attached.
Set close to the Jurassic Coast and village amenities, this cottage will particularly appeal to buyers seeking character, a quiet village setting and good access to coastal walks. It is presented for immediate occupation but buyers should factor listed-building constraints and ongoing thatch upkeep into any long-term plans.
