Summary - MYRTLE COTTAGE PIDDLETRENTHIDE DORCHESTER DT2 7QP
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Three-bedroom home with extensive gardens and far-reaching rural views.
Large detached country house with converted-barn living space
Myrtle Cottage is a substantial detached country home set in large private gardens with expansive Dorset countryside views. The ground floor includes a striking converted-barn living area alongside two further reception rooms, creating flexible living and entertaining space for families or those working from home.
The house provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms across multi-story accommodation totalling about 2,043–2,204 sq ft (listed size varies). A garage and separate utility room add practical storage and service space. Nearby village schools are rated Good, and the location sits comfortably between Sherborne and Dorchester for regional access.
Practical considerations: the property is of pre-1900 solid brick construction, likely without cavity insulation, heated by an oil-fired boiler, and has slow broadband speeds. Council tax sits above average. These factors should be weighed alongside the generous plot, low local crime rate, and excellent mobile signal.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural character, garden amenity and flexible living space. It offers scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise services, presenting potential to add value for those prepared to invest in targeted upgrades.
