Summary - Petersham Cottage, Penny Street, STURMINSTER NEWTON DT10 1DE
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Extensive 7-bed Grade II home with annexe, garden and scope to enhance.
Grade II listed detached cottage circa 1600 with period features
Petersham Cottage is a substantial Grade II listed country house offering around 7,000 sq ft of adaptable living space across three floors. The property retains many period features — stone mullioned windows, wood panelling, exposed beams and multiple fireplaces — and includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe and several outbuildings. The large, private lawned garden and generous parking with a garage suit family life, multi-generational households or buyers seeking home-based workspace.
The layout comprises seven double bedrooms, four bathrooms and five reception rooms, giving scope for flexible modern use while preserving historic character. Attic rooms and stores present further potential, but any alterations will require listed-building consent and the attendant costs and timescales. Heating is gas-fired from recently installed boilers; the property is EPC exempt due to its listed status.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will restrict changes and may complicate refurbishment; the house will likely need updating in places to meet contemporary living standards. Council Tax sits in a higher band and the property has a sizeable footprint to maintain. That said, the location—just steps from Sturminster Newton’s centre—combines town convenience with countryside privacy, making this a rare historic home with genuine scope to enhance and personalise.
