Summary - DOWN FARM COTTAGE BINCOMBE DOWN WEYMOUTH DT3 5PR
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Elevated plot with sunset views, parking and strong renovation potential.
Six bedrooms across three floors, flexible family and office space
Set within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this six-bedroom detached cottage offers spacious family accommodation with far-reaching countryside and sea glimpses. The house combines traditional character (pre‑1900 construction, chimney, gable features) with practical modern touches such as double glazing and Starlink satellite internet already installed. Generous reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, two ensuite bedrooms plus a large family bathroom and attic bedrooms provide flexible space for family living or home working.
Externally the property sits on a large elevated plot with a west-facing rear garden that captures sunset views, a shingled driveway for off-street parking and an old barn on the side plot. Planning permission was previously granted to convert the barn into a double garage, though that permission has now lapsed — offering scope for a buyer to reapply. The setting is peaceful, with direct access to walks and cycling routes, and convenient for Weymouth and Dorchester amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note a few practical points: broadband speeds are very slow locally despite Starlink availability; mains water is supplied via a metered connection shared with the neighbouring farm and drainage is to a private cesspit. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the EPC is D. Council tax sits above average. These factors are important for running costs and any refurbishment planning, but the property’s size, outlook and versatile layout present clear potential for improvement and long-term enjoyment.
