A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage set on a generous, private plot in semi-rural Burton. The house keeps original character throughout — exposed beams, fireplaces and sash-style windows — and offers flexible family living across two floors plus a detached one‑bedroom annexe/garden studio. Off‑street parking and mature gardens with a southerly aspect add practical appeal for everyday life and entertaining.
The annexe provides useful extra accommodation for guests, a home office or rental income, with its own shower room, kitchenette and private entrance. The village location is convenient for local amenities, primary school and easy access to Christchurch, Bournemouth and the coast while benefitting from low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
There are important constraints to note: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate insurance and consent for work. The thatched roof and older construction will require ongoing specialist maintenance, and the building likely has minimal cavity wall insulation. Flood risk in this area is high — buyers should obtain flood reports and suitable insurance quotes before committing.
Overall this home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled family cottage with versatile outbuilding, who are comfortable with listed‑building ownership responsibilities and proactive maintenance planning. For those prepared to manage those constraints, the property offers a rare combination of period charm, a large plot and flexible accommodation close to coast and countryside.
