Nestled in Broadwindsor village, The Old Bakery is a compact two-bedroom terraced cottage combining period charm with modern energy upgrades. The sitting room’s wood burner and multi-fuel stove create a cosy focal point while solar panels and an air source heat pump help lower running costs compared with standard electric-only homes.
The ground floor provides a practical layout with a light sitting room, separate dining room and fitted kitchen opening to a paved rear terrace. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom with a whirlpool-style bath; overall the house feels bright and usable but could benefit from selective modernising to reflect contemporary tastes.
Outside you’ll find a small front garden, a rear paved/gravel terrace and one off-street parking space accessed via a shared gravel drive. The plot is modest, so the garden is low-maintenance rather than for extensive landscaping. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working.
This home suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values village life and low running costs. It also has buy-to-let potential given its size and location, though internal refresh and cosmetic updating should be budgeted for. There are no identified flood risks and the area has very low crime, but the wider locality registers higher deprivation indicators — check local services and transport if mobility or schools are priorities.
