This beautifully presented thatched cottage marries authentic Dorset character with a high-quality contemporary refurbishment. The ground floor flows around a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area with tri-fold doors, while the sitting room’s glazed doors and wood burner create a bright, sociable heart to the home. Upstairs the principal suite includes a dressing room (originally a fourth bedroom), allowing an easy return to a four-bedroom layout if required.
Outside, the house sits on a very large plot with private, neatly landscaped gardens, a generous gravel driveway and single garage. A substantial studio/outbuilding currently used as a gym adds flexible space for home working, hobbies or an annexe. Extras include a hot tub, mains gas heating, fast broadband and no identified flood risk, making the property well suited to modern family life.
Buyers should note this is a period cob-and-thatch property (pre-1900) that has been modernised; thatch and traditional construction can mean higher specialist maintenance and insurance costs. The property has double glazing installed before 2002 and council tax sits at the higher Band F level. Overall, this is an attractive family home offering period charm, generous space and adaptable outbuildings in a well-served Dorset village close to countryside and commuter routes.
