A Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Chideock, offering quintessential Dorset character and comfortable family living. The house has three double bedrooms, an L-shaped sitting/dining room, a second reception with feature fireplace, and a conservatory overlooking a mature private garden. The recent roof replacement is a practical plus for long-term maintenance.
This home suits buyers who value charm and location — less than a mile from the beach and set within the Jurassic Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Off-street parking for two to three cars, village-centre convenience and nearby amenities add everyday practicality to the picture.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or modernisation. Heating is by electric room heaters, walls are original granite with no assumed insulation, and windows are secondary glazed; significant upgrading (insulation, heating, double glazing to heritage standards) would likely be needed to reduce running costs or alter layout. Ceiling heights and some room sizes are modest, reflecting the property’s age and traditional plan.
Chain free sale and no flood risk make for a straightforward purchase; the cottage will suit families or buyers after a character home near the coast who accept the responsibilities and costs that come with Grade II thatch. If you want an atmospheric, well‑situated period home and are prepared for listed‑building considerations and energy upgrades, this is a rare village find.
