Spacious character home with landscaped gardens and double garage in a peaceful village setting.
High-spec kitchen and separate utility room
Set in a quiet Dorset village within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this part-thatched detached cottage combines period character with roomy, practical living. The house offers three generous reception rooms, a high-spec kitchen and utility, and versatile accommodation across multiple floors — ideal for families who need space to work, play and entertain.
The property benefits from landscaped gardens with a pergola walkway and an upper-level flower bed, plus a double garage and courtyard parking. Energy features include an air source heat pump alongside an existing oil-fired boiler and radiators, giving options for heating and running costs. The home totals about 1,883 sq ft and retains traditional features such as exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and thatched elements.
Important practical points: broadband speeds are slow in the area and drainage is to a private communal sewage treatment plant. Flood risk is assessed as medium and council tax is high. These are factual considerations for buyers alongside the home’s many strengths.
Location is strong for families: the village has a pub, nursery, village hall and easy access to countryside bridleways. Prestigious independent schools and Blandford Forum’s amenities are within short driving distance, while the Dorset coast and nature reserves remain accessible for weekends and outdoor pursuits.
