A perfect place to enjoy a peaceful break yet within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns. The cottage is on the site of a former farm along with a small group of similar properties, converted from barns and outbuildings to holiday homes in 1999/2000. Internally, on the ground floor is an open plan living/dining/kitchen space with doors leading to the south facing garden. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, one set out as a double and the other with two single beds and a bathroom fitted with both bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside, there is parking space for three vehicles to the front and an enclosed south facing garden at the back, where there are lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The property would make an ideal peaceful home away from home and can also be holiday let to generate income if desired. N.B.

Thorncombe village lies in the western corner of Dorset close to the Devon and Somerset borders and just 11 miles inland from the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic coast. The nearest towns are Chard and Crewkerne (both around 6 miles) and the seaside town of Lyme Regis is just 10 miles to the south. The area has been designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the village itself has a very strong community with many local clubs on offer and an excellent community run shop and cafe. There are numerous footpaths available from the doorstep and the famous Forde Abbey and gardens is just a mile down the road. To find out more, please visit .

Places of interest

    We are dedicated Licensed Estate Agents with many years industry experience (over 60 years between us!) covering East Devon and West Dorset but occasionally outside these areas if required. We are a small but mighty team of ladies which is something that happened by coincidence, rather than design. Although, we have found it gives us a compassionate edge over some other agents; something that can be invaluable throughout the buying and selling process. We have a passion for property combined with traditional values of service, with an emphasis on excellent communication. We want to match your property to the right buyer and make the whole process as stress free as we can, leaving you with the confidence of being able to recommend our service to others. Our aim: to make estate agency something to be proud of.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on October 17, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 10, 2016 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
