Set in a tranquil Dorset village, this Grade II listed three-bedroom home combines traditional thatched charm with generously scaled living spaces. The layout includes separate reception rooms, a country-style kitchen, office and a handy workshop — useful for hobbies or storage. The large garden and village setting suit families seeking space and countryside walks close to Dorchester.
Buyers should note the property's listed status and traditional construction. The thatched roof and period fabric require specialist upkeep and listed-consented works will be needed for significant alterations. Heating runs on an LPG-boiler and walls have internal insulation; these factors influence running costs and retrofit options. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal.
Internally the house offers versatility: a snug and separate dining room create flexible family zones, while an upstairs office could serve as a fourth bedroom. Two shower rooms plus a cloakroom and utility room add everyday convenience. The workshop and substantial plot present scope for external projects or garden expansion, subject to listing constraints.
Overall this characterful property will suit buyers seeking a countryside family home rich in period detail and room to adapt, provided they accept listed-property responsibilities and the practical realities of rural utilities.
