3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

ELEGANT 1844 BUILT GRADE II LISTED HOME WITH GARDENS AND VIEWS IN DESIRABLE DORSET VILLAGE OF WITCHCAMPTON


Set within the peaceful village of Witchampton, nestled among the gently rolling Dorset countryside, Old Quarry is a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage of exceptional character. Dating back to 1844, this Grade II listed property is one of a pair of double-fronted estate cottages built by the Sturt family, rich in architectural detail and thoughtfully maintained to blend period charm with modern practicality.

Witchampton is a close-knit and picturesque village, designated a Conservation Area and rich in character. At the heart of the village is the Village Club, a Tudor-style building and licensed premises for residents and members, which serves as a true hub of community life. It hosts many of the village¿s most popular events, including the much-loved annual tractor and trailer ride through the countryside each May, as well as regular social gatherings and activities throughout the year. The community-run shop is also based here, offering everyday essentials and local produce. Next to the church lies the Village Hall, which supports a wide variety of clubs and classes, further contributing to the village¿s vibrant community spirit. The nearby St Cuthberga Church, a beautiful medieval building, continues to play an active role in village life, while the Witchampton Church of England First School, just a short stroll away, provides a nurturing and inclusive learning environment.

Constructed in warm red brick under a hipped slate roof, the property retains a number of original features, including traditional casement windows, decorative hood moulds, and an elegantly symmetrical façade. The setting is equally appealing, with far-reaching countryside views, generous gardens, and ample driveway parking accessed via a traditional five-bar gate.

The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for both practicality and flow. From the entrance hall, you are led through to the kitchen/dining room, a bright and sociable space at the heart of the home, perfect for family living and entertaining. From here, the home opens into the spacious sitting room, which enjoys front garden views and features a central fireplace that adds warmth and character. A modern ground floor shower room adds convenience, serving both guests and family alike.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a private en-suite shower room, as well as countryside views across the front. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, while the third offers flexibility as a single bedroom, home office, or nursery. All bedrooms are served by character windows and share the property¿s bright, neutral décor.

Old Quarry presents a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential Victorian cottage in an outstanding rural setting, perfectly suited for families, downsizers, or those seeking a weekend escape from the city.
