Renovated three-bed cottage on a quarter-acre plot in sought-after Osmington village.
Thatched detached cottage with strong period character and historic stone elevations
A rare thatched period cottage arranged over multiple floors, Rose Cottage combines traditional character with recent upgrades. The current owners have renovated key areas while retaining features such as an inglenook fireplace, flagstone floors and exposed beams. Three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and three bathrooms make this a comfortable family home, while double glazing and a modern gas boiler provide day-to-day efficiency.
Set on a generous quarter-acre plot, the mature landscaped gardens and double garage offer substantial outdoor space and practical parking — a notable benefit in this sought-after Osmington village location. The property is detached, not listed, and benefits from full ceiling heights for a period cottage, enhancing internal volumes compared with many older cottages.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the thatched roof and traditional stone walls may require specific maintenance and insurance, and the walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is high, which may influence remote working or household budgeting.
Overall this is a character-rich home for families seeking village life, sizeable gardens and period charm with modernised essentials already in place. The setting, school options nearby and low local crime rate add to its appeal for long-term family living.
