This Grade II listed two/three-bedroom stone cottage blends period character with compact, well-planned accommodation. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and sash windows give the house authentic cottage charm, and the fully enclosed southerly rear garden is a private sun-facing space rare for town-centre homes.
The ground floor offers a separate sitting room, a rustic kitchen/diner and a useful utility room; a small front study could serve as a third bedroom or home office. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a main room with a walk-in wardrobe. Overall footprint and room sizes are modest, suiting a couple, small family or holiday-let use.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: repairs, alterations or extensions will be subject to listing consents and may be more complex and costly. The house shows signs of wear and a dated kitchen and bathroom that would benefit from modernization to match its potential. There is no private front garden and the building sits close to Dorchester Road, so on-street noise and limited frontage privacy are practical considerations.
With fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime, the house is well positioned for either an owner-occupier seeking character close to town amenities or an investor targeting holiday-let income. Viewing is advised to appreciate the layout, character features and the manageable renovation scope.
