Dorchester Road Frampton, Dorchester, DT2

Charming four-bedroom Grade II listed stone and flint semi-detached cottage, mature gardens, countryside views, and driveway with garage, backing onto open fields. The cottage does require sympathetic maintenance and improvement works.

THE PROPERTY
This charming Grade II listed stone and flint semi-detached cottage enjoys picturesque views across Frampton Park, offering a wonderful blend of character and countryside living. Reflecting its historic nature, the property would benefit from sympathetic maintenance and improvement works, presenting an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to preserve and enhance its character.

The ground floor opens into an entrance hall, leading through to a cosy sitting room featuring an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. An open archway connects seamlessly to the dining room, where double doors open out onto the garden. To the rear of the cottage is a well-proportioned kitchen, complemented by a practical utility room providing additional storage and space for white goods. A rear porch offers convenient access to both the garden and the garage.

Upstairs, the property has three good-sized bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a dual aspect, enjoying views over the garden, while the second bedroom takes in attractive views across the surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE
The garden is a particular feature of the property, being predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. Mature trees offer both privacy and a wonderful sense of established character, while the garden wraps around to the rear of the cottage, backing onto open fields and enjoying a delightful rural outlook. A raised terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, making the most of the far-reaching countryside views. There is also a useful outbuilding for additional storage. Double wooden gates (recently replaced) open onto a driveway leading to the garage, providing ample parking.

SITUATION
The property is situated in Frampton, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and conservation area. The village lies a short distance from Maiden Newton, which is well served by a range of local amenities including shops, a first school, doctor’s surgery, petrol station with convenience store, public house, village hall, and a railway station on the Weymouth/Dorchester to Bath/Bristol Temple Meads line.
