Summary - 7 THE MALTINGS BLANDFORD ST MARY BLANDFORD FORUM DT11 9HJ
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious Grade II cottage with open-plan heart and riverside setting.
Grade II converted warehouse with abundant exposed brick and beams
A rare Grade II converted warehouse offering spacious, characterful living in Blandford St. Mary. Exposed brickwork, high ceilings and reclaimed beams give the cottage strong period character while contemporary touches — an open-plan kitchen with island and a large first-floor lounge — provide generous family living and entertaining space across approximately 1,600 sq ft.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking in a shared carport, a long 985-year lease and a no-flood-risk location close to riverside walks and Bryanston School. The layout suits families who want substantial reception space and separate bedroom areas, plus the convenience of good broadband and mobile signal.
Buyers should note material considerations tied to its listed status: Grade II listing brings restrictions on alterations and may complicate maintenance or extensions. The building’s solid brick construction appears to lack cavity insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002 and heating is electric via boiler and radiators — factors that can increase running costs and limit modernisation options without listed-building consent.
This property is best for buyers seeking a distinctive, well-presented home with strong period character and generous room sizes, who accept the responsibilities and potential extra costs of owning a listed building. For families wanting plenty of living space, convenient parking and a peaceful riverside setting, this is a compelling, character-rich option.
