Introduction - Southways is a Grade II Listed terraced cottage situated in the desirable village of Seaborough, enjoying views across the surrounding West Dorset countryside. For Sale by Auction, the property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a traditional thatched home requiring modernisation, whilst retaining a wealth of period character and considerable scope for improvement.

The Property - Constructed of natural stone beneath a traditional thatched roof, Southways is a charming period cottage extending to approximately 1,059 sq ft. The property retains many character features including exposed beams, deep-set windows and original architectural details which reflect its historic origins. Requiring updating throughout, the cottage offers an exciting opportunity for restoration and refurbishment, allowing a purchaser to create a characterful village home in an attractive rural setting.

Outside - The property is complemented by a generous garden extending away from the rear of the cottage, with mature planting, established boundaries and useful outbuildings including a greenhouse and garden store.
