Summary - The Old Post Office, Duck Street DT6 6EZ
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled four-bedroom home near Colmers Hill and Bridport.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
Set in the heart of Symondsbury, The Old Post Office is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage offering genuine village character and countryside access. The house retains period features — timbered ceilings, window seats and woodburning stoves — and sits on terraced gardens that back onto agricultural land and an orchard. It’s ideal for a family seeking rural life with easy access to Colmers Hill walks and nearby Bridport amenities.
Practicalities are straightforward but important: the property is freehold, offers off-street parking for one to two cars, and benefits from fast broadband. Heating is by oil-fired boiler with additional solid-fuel stoves; an annual thatch condition report exists. Council Tax is above average and the EPC is rated E.
Buyers should note material constraints linked to the Grade II listing and some conventional maintenance needs. There is a flying freehold over an adjoining property and the house has a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms. These factors mean some works or alterations will need listed-building consents and specialist contractors.
For a family who values character, countryside outlook and village community, this cottage delivers a rare blend of history and everyday convenience. It suits those prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and conserve traditional fabric in exchange for an attractive, well-situated home.
