Description

Fore Place is a Grade II listed stone house in Broadwindsor, with a separate two-bedroom annexe that requires comprehensive refurbishment. The main house has four bedrooms and retains period details including sash windows, exposed floorboards, wood panelling, flagstone floors and fireplaces. Its accommodation includes a sitting room, kitchen, project room, scullery, utility room and WC on the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, quartz-style work surfaces, a range cooker and integrated appliances. The bathroom has a period-style suite with a claw-foot bath and rainfall shower. The project room has a glazed frontage and access to the village square, and could serve as a studio, home office, retail space or additional reception room, subject to any necessary consents. The annexe has its own access from Church Walk as well as an internal connection to the main house. It comprises a hall, kitchen, living room and shower room, with two bedrooms upstairs, the second reached through the first. New windows have been installed, but the annexe needs substantial updating. The listing suggests a range of possible uses, including additional accommodation or letting, subject to relevant requirements and permissions. Outside, a small pebbled frontage provides parking for one car, with further parking available in the square. A sheltered, two-level courtyard and an integral store are at the rear. The property is in the village square, close to local amenities, with Beaminster around two miles away and Bridport around nine miles away. The listing states that the main house has electric-fired central heating; the annexe is not stated to have central heating. Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £450,000, Fore Place is priced at about £223 per sq ft, well below the local average of £341 per sq ft—an attractive entry point for a substantial Grade II listed village house. The main house combines period features, a serviceable bespoke kitchen and bathroom, and generally maintained rooms with a glazed-fronted project room and a separate annexe that the listing says needs comprehensive refurbishment. Two photographed rooms also have substantially deteriorated wall finishes, offering clear scope to make improvements.

Key opportunities

  • Refurbish the annexe to create additional accommodation or explore letting potential, subject to the requirements of its Grade II listed status.
  • Improve the glazed-fronted project room, which could suit a range of uses subject to any necessary permissions.
  • Make good the deteriorated wall finishes while retaining the main house’s period details, including fireplaces, exposed floorboards and sash windows.
