High Street, Winfrith Newburgh, Dorchester

An attached Grade II listed country cottage with extensive accommodation, pretty garden and off-road parking for two cars. Located in a popular coastal village and offered for sale with no forward chain.

The Dwelling - Originally owned by the Weld Estate this pretty coastal cottage is believed to date back to circa 1780. In more recent years, this end of terrace, (newly) thatched country cottage has had a brick extension with tiled roof added; giving extensive level living areas and flexible accommodation whilst over looking the spacious pretty garden. It was justifiably assigned Grade II listed status due to its architectural and historical significance.

Accommodation - Roselawn offers flexible accommodation with 3/4 bedroom and has been highly successful as a premium holiday rental. It was featured in the Sunday Times as one of the '50 Coolest Cottages in the UK,' a distinction that is evident from the moment you see it. The spacious ground-floor accommodation includes versatile reception rooms, such as an atmospheric snug in the oldest part of the house (which can also serve as a downstairs fourth bedroom), a formal sitting room with a gas-fired wood burner and views of the garden, and, on the opposite side of the house, a garden/games room with bi-folding oak doors and external shutters opening onto the beautiful garden. The central kitchen features Indian sandstone flooring, plenty of floor and wall-mounted storage cupboards, a gas range cooker and a fitted breakfast bar. It opens into the dining room with space for family dining. A stylish downstairs wet room provides a useful additional bathroom.

The first floor features three double bedrooms, each with lovely views, two of which have built-in cupboards. A family bathroom serves these bedrooms.

Outside - The large level garden is predominantly laid to lawn with gravel walkways and patio seating areas. Flowerbeds, planted with roses and other attractive shrubs, add to its charm. A timber summer house/lodge is positioned to one side of the garden, making the most of the daytime sunshine and there is also an additional garden store.

A gravelled parking area provides convenient off-road parking for at least two cars.

Situation - Roselawn is situated centrally within the village of Winfrith Newburgh, a Purbeck village within close proximity to the stunning nearby coastline of West Lulworth and Durdle Door. The village itself has a range of amenities including an award winning village shop, a hairdresser, village hall, a first school, a pre-school and a parish church. There are two village inns nearby.

There is direct access onto the A352 for Dorchester (W) and to Wool (E) with further links to Wareham and Poole and via Bere Regis to the A31 network.
