Summary - THE OLD BYRE SOUTHOVER FRAMPTON DORCHESTER DT2 9NQ
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Thatched flint-and-stone home with thatch renewed in 2018
An exquisite, recently renovated four-bedroom thatched home set in just over an acre of mature gardens in the peaceful hamlet of Southover. Built in the 1990s from attractive flint and stone and tastefully updated, the house balances period charm with contemporary living—highlighted by a bespoke 2022 kitchen and a comfortable sitting room with a wood-burning stove.
The property is arranged over multiple storeys with a large open-plan kitchen/dining hub, conservatory, study, and a useful ground-floor boot/utility. Upstairs are four double bedrooms served by three en suites and a family bathroom; the main bedroom benefits from integrated storage and dual-aspect views across the grounds and countryside beyond.
Outside is a major selling point: sweeping gravel drive, double garage with a versatile studio above (currently a gym), extensive lawns, terraced seating, ornamental water feature with bridge, paddock and small stable. The garden offers privacy and a characterful setting for family life or entertaining, and the studio could provide home-working space or, subject to planning, additional accommodation or income.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler (private supply) and the thatched roof, although replaced in 2018, carries ongoing specialist maintenance requirements. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect heavy remote-working or streaming. Otherwise the location offers low crime, good access to local schools and Dorchester amenities, and no reported flood risk.
