Set in the heart of the Piddle Valley, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits on about 0.44 acres, offering a large lawn, mature planting and river frontage. Two reception rooms, a conservatory and period features give the house comfortable family accommodation and strong scope for improvement. The detached garage, store room and garden shed add practical outbuildings and off-street parking.
The property requires modernisation throughout: upgrades to the interior, kitchen, bathroom and general decorative work are needed. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. There is a medium flood risk at the lower end of the garden from rising springs—this is intermittent and typically drains within a few days but should be budgeted for.
Offered for sale at auction on 18 September 2025, the house will suit buyers looking for a period cottage to renovate, families who want space and rural privacy, or investors seeking refurbishment potential in an attractive rural setting. Local amenities include a primary school, village shop and pubs, with Dorchester approximately seven miles away for wider services and transport links.
