Flexible two-dwelling layout ideal for multigenerational living or rental income.
Detached stone cottage with period features and parquet flooring
Library Cottage is a characterful detached stone property in the heart of Martinstown, offering flexible living across what is currently two independent dwellings. The main cottage and adjoining annexe each have their own kitchen and heating, or can be reconnected via an internal door to form a single spacious family home with a dramatic open-plan sitting room and galleried landing.
The house combines period features — leaded-light windows, exposed beams, parquet flooring and an open fireplace with historic coat of arms — with practical comforts such as double glazing, mains gas central heating and ultrafast broadband. An enclosed terraced patio garden with mature planting provides a private outdoor space, and a gravelled forecourt offers off-street parking.
This property suits a multigenerational household or a buyer seeking rental/annexe income potential, while remaining within easy reach of Dorchester’s services, schools and transport links. Important practical points: the house sits in a conservation area, falls into Council Tax Band E, and is identified as having a medium flooding risk. The plot is relatively small, so buyers seeking extensive gardens should note the limited outside space.
