Honeybrook House is a substantial five-bedroom Edwardian family home set on the southern edge of Cattistock, looking out across open Dorset countryside. Built in 1883 and extended in 2004, the house combines original period detail — working sash windows, high skirtings, moulded doorframes and timber floors — with a large, recently fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a south-facing sitting room that opens onto decking and garden views. The layout offers four reception rooms, generous circulation and a cellar, giving flexibility for family living, home working or guest accommodation.
Outside, the property sits in about a quarter of an acre with private parking for four cars, a single garage and well-established shrubbery and hedging that give a good degree of privacy. The lawn drops to a small brook at the western boundary and there is a mix of formal and informal planting including a rose garden and bluebell bank — attractive for gardeners and children. The village location provides a quiet, rural setting with local amenities, a pub, shop/post office and easy access to Dorchester and major routes.
Practical points: heating is by an oil-fired boiler and mains broadband speeds are average. The stone/brick walls are original and assumed to have no cavity insulation, so the house will benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a large, character-filled family house offering generous indoor and outdoor space, ideal for buyers seeking a roomy period home in a peaceful village setting but who are prepared to invest in modern energy upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
