Summary - 2 HIGH STREET WINFRITH NEWBURGH DORCHESTER DT2 8JN
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Character-filled village home with large garden and garage near the Jurassic Coast.
Grade II listed 17th-century cottage with historic inglenook fireplace
Cordwainer's Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed 17th-century home in peaceful Winfrith Newburgh, set within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house offers two double bedrooms, a generous sitting room with an original inglenook and bread oven, and a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances. Its large, multi-tiered garden, greenhouse and kitchen-garden area make it especially appealing for those who enjoy outdoor living and entertaining.
The setting suits someone looking to downsize without losing space: bedrooms are genuinely roomy, the sitting/dining area is comfortable for evening relaxation and communal meals, and the garage plus private parking are useful practical benefits rarely found in village High Streets. Local amenities include a shop/post office, pub, primary school and close access to the Jurassic Coast and countryside.
There are important conservation and environmental considerations. Listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; any work to historic cob walls, original fireplaces or timber elements will need listed-building consent. Flood risk in this postcode is high — suitable insurance and flood-mitigation measures should be explored prior to purchase. Internally some ceilings are low and the house reflects its historic construction, which may suit lovers of period charm but feels less spacious than modern homes.
In short, this is a spacious, character-rich village home for buyers who prioritise history, garden space and countryside living, and who accept the responsibilities that come with listed ownership and a higher flood risk.
