Summary - BRIDGE COTTAGES 3 BRIDGE STURMINSTER NEWTON DT10 2BS
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful 16th-century cottage with parking and no onward chain.
Three good-sized bedrooms; two with en-suite facilities
This characterful end-of-terrace stone cottage dates to the 16th century and offers a rare, chain-free opportunity on the fringe of Sturminster Newton. Spacious sitting/dining room with a wood burner, three good-sized bedrooms and two en-suites deliver comfortable, flexible living across three floors. The recent improvements — including a new combination boiler (Dec 2023) and new first- and second-floor flooring — reduce immediate maintenance needs.
The house retains strong period character: exposed stone walls, beams, deep-silled windows and a traditional fireplace with the old bread oven. The L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room and the generous galleried landing add practical, day-to-day space. A single gravelled off-street parking bay serves the cottage and the location sits at the town/country edge, close to a nature reserve, local shops and primary schooling.
Buyers should note a few material points. The Energy Performance is an E and the property has cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so further energy upgrades could be needed. The plot is very small with only a modest outside area; the cottage may suit buyers prioritising location and character over garden size. There is a medium flood risk for the area and some finishing works will be left for the purchaser to complete.
Overall this semi-detached period cottage will particularly suit first-time buyers or purchasers seeking a weekend retreat or holiday-let investment. It brings historic charm and modern conveniences in a convenient market-town setting, but buyers should budget for potential energy improvements and the small outdoor footprint.
