Notton Hill House is a sensitively refurbished 4-bedroom Georgian country home set in about 2.5 acres with far-reaching Dorset views. The house blends original character—high ceilings, large reception rooms and exposed features—with modern comforts: a 24ft kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, two woodburners, and an air-source heat pump. Solar panels and EV charging reduce running costs, and recent infrastructure upgrades include a new sewage treatment plant and upgraded mains transformer.
Adjacent to the main house are four professionally refurbished holiday cottages, relaunched in Summer 2023 and accessed by their own private drive. The cottages trade as a proven holiday-let business with shared facilities (games room, laundry) and individual EV points, offering immediate income or scope for conversion to long-term lets or multigenerational use, subject to consents. A substantial stone outbuilding offers clear potential for further development (STPP).
The location is a key selling point: elevated, secluded and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with direct access to local walks, the South Dorset Ridgeway and the Jurassic Coast. Dorchester, Poundbury and Maiden Newton (with a rail link) are all within easy reach, providing a strong mix of tranquillity and accessibility.
Notable practical points: broadband is currently very slow (Starlink in use; fibre availability offered next year), council tax for the house is band F (relatively expensive), and there is a medium flood risk to be considered. There are recorded rights of way affecting parts of the eastern boundary and a public footpath crossing the property; prospective buyers should investigate these and any planning restrictions before purchase.
