Step into a slice of history with this enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage, nestled in the heart of the picturesque Dorset village of Winfrith Newburgh. A much-loved home for over 30 years and now needs someone new to love and cherish it. This 17th-century gem has been lovingly restored, with the thatch and ridge redone in 2023, ensuring it retains its timeless appeal.
The entrance hall welcomes you with doors leading to a convenient SHOWER ROOM and a wonderfully generous SITTING ROOM. Here, a large inglenook fireplace, once a bread oven, adds a touch of rustic charm, and the room overlooks the quaint village at the front. There are unique Jurassic ammonites accenting the wall, paying homage to the historic land surrounding the cottage. An archway leads you into a good-sized dining room, with beautiful parquet flooring, perfect for family gatherings, with views extending to the rear garden.
The KITCHEN is a delightful blend of old and new, featuring a characterful beamed ceiling and an oven built into exposed brickwork. Adjacent is a useful UTILITY ROOM with ample space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, ensuring practicality is at the forefront.
(The gas supply will be installed on the 26th March 2025. This will terminate just outside the kitchen and will enable a gas hob in the kitchen and a supply for a gas boiler that could be installed in the utility room where the washing machine is located.)
Ascend to the first floor, where you'll find THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS. One overlooks the very pretty village, while the other two offer views of the lovely garden. A FAMILY BATHROOM, with a window to the rear garden completes this floor, providing a tranquil space to unwind.
Outside
The exterior of this cottage is as captivating as its interior. Gates on both sides of the property lead to the fabulous, LARGE GARDEN, which is a true oasis, featuring an ORNAMENTAL POND, mature trees, and shrubs.

A GARAGE with an attached WORKSHOP make for ideal storage space, with a CARPORT and additional parking for 2 more cars.
