A well-presented Victorian character cottage set in about two acres of paddock, ideal for buyers seeking a smallholding or equine use close to Dorchester. The main house retains fireplaces and period features, has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living space including a loft room. The property is finished to a high standard internally and benefits from off-street parking for several cars.
The land includes stables, an outbuilding and a separate annexe, offering flexible use for guests, work-from-home, or rental income. A wind turbine is installed on the plot, supporting the property’s environmental credentials. The location is rural and peaceful — a hamlet setting about seven miles from Dorchester with countryside views and strong mobile signal.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations: broadband speeds are very slow, the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (as built) and the council tax band is above average. Local primary schools are small but currently have below-par Ofsted ratings, which may matter for families. Overall, this is a spacious period home with significant outdoor space and equestrian potential, best suited to buyers prioritising land, privacy and rural living over fast internet or immediate proximity to urban services.
