Large private garden and extension potential near the Downs and coast.
Grade II listed stone cottage with strong period character
Stone Place Cottage is an atmospheric Grade II listed two-bedroom stone cottage set in large, mature gardens in the desirable village of Shorwell. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and original features — and sits within easy walking distance of the village pub, church and a popular farm shop. Direct access to the Downs and nearby Jurassic Coast make this an appealing rural bolt-hole or successful holiday let.
The cottage offers practical living across two floors with a cosy sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen with garden views and a ground-floor bathroom. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor. Outside, the main garden wraps around three sides, is well-established and private, and includes a fully insulated timber outbuilding suitable as a workshop or summerhouse.
There is clear scope to extend on three sides, subject to obtaining listed building consent and other permissions; the large plot gives genuine potential to increase accommodation for family use or to enhance holiday-let income. Services include mains water, electricity and drainage, with heating from an oil boiler. EPC rating is exempt due to the listed status.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s Grade II listing will make alterations and extensions more complex and slower, requiring specialist consents; there is currently no off-street parking and on-street parking is used. The cottage’s period interior and garden will benefit from sympathetic updating and some garden clearance to realise full potential.
