Description

Step into a slice of history with this enchanting cottage, nestled in the heart of the picturesque Dorset village of Winfrith Newburgh. This much-loved character home has been in the same family for 50 years and now needs someone new to love and cherish it. This pretty cottage, built around 1780, is in a conservation area but is not listed and offers new owners the opportunity to make their mark on the property while carrying out any necessary renovations. The current owners have started renovations - with new UPVC windows on the ground floor frontage, a new flat roof over the kitchen in 2024 and the main roof stripped with new membrane and timbers replaced in 2025. With a family sized kitchen, substantial garden backing onto the River Win and two garages, one of which is currently set up for storage, this property could suit a range of buyers looking for a project.

The entrance lobby welcomes you with a door leading to a characterful SITTING ROOM. Here, a wide fireplace set within an inglenook, adds a touch of rustic charm, and the room overlooks the quaint village at the front. A doorway then leads through to the REAR ENTRANCE HALL with a variety of storage cupboards, further access to a SPACIOUS KITCHEN DINING ROOM with an AGA™, that then leads to a THIRD BEDROOM. Also accessible from the rear hall are a BATHROOM and an additional SEPARATE W.C.

Ascend to the first floor, where you'll find a small landing with a window to the front and access to the large PRINCIPAL BEDROOM as well as a second DOUBLE BEDROOM. Both overlook this delightful village, whilst one also offers a view of the extensive rear garden.

AGENTS NOTE: This property has had ground water ingress in 2026.

Outside
From the REAR ENTRANCE HALL you can access the EXTENSIVE REAR GARDEN, one of the longer plots in this part of the village, with various mature trees and shrubs, a patio area, a variety of small outbuildings where eventually you will reach the GARAGES, located in a block to the rear of the garden and with one garage currently set up for storage. Beyond the garages the property backs onto the River Win and there are two small seating areas overlooking the river. In front of the garages is a parking area. (Note that a neighbour owns the third garage in the block and has right of way access along the driveway).

The cottage has vehicular access to the garages down a private drive (owned by this property with two neighbouring properties able to access). There is also pedestrian access to the rear garden from here at various points.

Location
Winfrith Newburgh is a very popular village lying close to Lulworth Cove, a natural horseshoe shaped harbour and Durdle Door, one of the most famous stone arches in the world, both forming part of the renowned Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Set in the heart of the Purbecks, its unique beauty is reflected in its status as a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village itself enjoys many amenities including an award-winning village shop and Post Office, public house, church, pre-school and primary school, and an active village hall.

About DOMVS, Wareham

8 South Street, Wareham, BH20 4LT

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

Our Services
