Burtswater Cottage is a semi‑detached period cottage set on the edge of Shillingstone with far‑reaching rural views across open fields.

A detached barn/garage, barn‑style car port and additional parking sit within very large grounds, ideal for outdoor living or hobby storage.
The house extends to approximately 2,029 sq ft and is offered freehold with no onward chain, which makes it a straightforward purchase for proceedable buyers. Key services include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal for rural Dorset living. The setting is peaceful, with low local crime and nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or independent options close by.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; it has been priced to reflect this. Renovation scope includes modernising interior finishes and systems to suit contemporary living—buyers should expect refurbishment costs and to factor in necessary works when viewing. This is a strong opportunity for a family or buyer seeking a countryside home with scope to restore and enhance character features.
Practical points: the plot is very large and private, lending itself to garden projects or extension subject to planning. There is a detached workshop/garage that could be adapted to suit storage, a studio or home workshop. No flood risk is recorded for the site.
