This detached three-bedroom cottage offers modern, low-maintenance village living with over 900 sq.ft of well-planned accommodation. Built in 2022 and still covered by the remainder of its new-build warranty, the property combines contemporary finishes with period-style details and dormer bedrooms to create a comfortable family home.
Practical benefits include an allocated double car port plus visitor spaces, a secluded courtyard-style garden for easy outdoor entertaining, and a detached barn conversion that adds flexible space for a home office, hobby room or storage. The open-plan ground floor maximises light and flow, while three double bedrooms upstairs suit families or those needing spare rooms.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: there is just one bathroom, the plot is modest in depth with limited scope for major extension, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The property sits in a medium flood-risk zone — appropriate insurance and flood-mitigation awareness are advised. Local schools are a mixed picture, although a highly rated secondary school (The Thomas Hardye) is accessible in Dorchester.
Overall this is a tidy, recently constructed cottage for purchasers seeking a low-upkeep village home or a countryside bolt-hole close to Dorchester. It will particularly suit families wanting contemporary living in a quiet setting, or buyers looking for a finished property with immediate occupancy and minimal initial maintenance.
