Lamperts Cottage is a handsome Grade II listed thatched home set on the edge of Sydling St. Nicholas, offering generous living space across two floors and a large, wildlife-friendly garden bordered by the Sydling Water. The cottage balances original character—exposed beams, stone inglenook fireplace and thatch—with practical updates inside, and provides ample off-street parking and useful outbuilding storage. The principal bedroom has an en suite and fitted wardrobes, making it comfortable for family life.
The property will particularly suit buyers seeking a substantial country home in a close-knit village with good local schools and easy access to Dorchester and Sherborne. The garden and patio offer private outdoor space for children and pets, while nearby lanes and footpaths lead directly into rolling countryside and recreational opportunities.
Buyers should note material and regulatory considerations: the Grade II listing restricts alterations and will complicate some works. The front thatch and ridge require updating (appointments arranged; timing to be confirmed), and heating is oil-fired. There is a recorded medium flood risk due to proximity to the stream; prospective buyers should confirm insurance and any local flood mitigation requirements.
Practicalities are straightforward: the property is freehold, offers fast broadband, low local crime, and parking accessed via a drive across the Sydling Water. Council Tax is band F, which should be factored into ongoing running costs. Overall, Lamperts Cottage offers quintessential Dorset charm with generous accommodation, but it does carry specific maintenance and listing responsibilities.
