Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
A 2 bedroom period Grade II Listed end-terrace cottage sympathetically renovated with attic studio and very long landscaped cottage gardens with outbuilding, close to the town centre

SITUATION: This end-terrace cottage is located within a few minutes' walk of the vibrant town centre of Bridport with its mainly independent shopping centre, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites, vintage and artists' quadrant, good medical centre and dentists' practices and central Bucky Doo Square which hosts bands and festivities all year round. There is a community shed, orchard and recreational areas and a wide variety of organisations catering for most leisure and hobby activities, including well supported U3A groups.

The coastal village of West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with connecting footpaths/cycle routes. Here there are beaches, a fishing boat harbour, many marine and leisure pursuits and a golf course on East Cliff together with access to the Jurassic Coastline and south west coastal paths.

THE PROPERTY is steeped in history having been a former ropemaker's cottage and features include open fireplaces, deep window sills, a flagstone floor and ledge and brace doors and exposed floor boards. A single-storey extension to the rear houses the kitchen/breakfast room with large roof dome providing natural light. A lobby area leads to the bathroom. In keeping with its Grade II Listing, original brick and stone outbuildings provide practical storage for logs, garden tools and bins. A covered alleyway provides shared access with next door onto the street. On-street parking is available opposite the property or close by. The gardens are extensive - very long and narrow and divided into "rooms" with pathway extending and finishing with a large pleasure garden. The gardens are an absolute delight enjoying sunshine all day long and have been extremely well planted and designed to maximise outside enjoyment.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling west along West Street proceed straight over the first mini-roundabout. Take the next right-hand turning at the second mini-roundabout signposted to Salway Ash. No 44 will be found on the right-hand side, the cottage frontage almost opposite St Swithins House Dental Practice. From kerbside this property retains its modesty.

THE ACCOMMODATION affords:
Attractive wooden front entrance door opening to the:
FRONT ROOM/SITTING ROOM with its engineered oak flooring, wooden casement window to the front with shelf, attractive brick fireplace surround with fitted wood-burner and stripped pine doored cupboards to the side. Telephone point. Leading to:
DINING ROOM with flagstone floor, internal original window with seat. Ledge and brace door within original wood panelling opening to a large understairs' cupboard. A second, stripped pine, ledge and braced door leads to the wooden painted staircase to upstairs.
KITCHEN with mainly free-standing units together with a Butler sink with mixer tap and cupboard under, work surface extending over plumbing for washing machine, space for upright fridge/freezer, wall-mounted mains gas-fired Glow-worm combi-boiler. Vintage-style tiled floor. Leading to:
REAR LOBBY with door leading to courtyard and door leading to:

FIRST FLOOR
LANDING
BEDROOM 1 Good-size double bedroom with street view extending to Allington Hill. Stripped pine, ledge and brace panelled door. Painted floor boards. Window seat.
BEDROOM 2 Double bedroom with original panelling and including two ledge and brace doors. Window seat, painted floor boards. Leading to:
SECOND FLOOR/ATTIC A practical size with dormer window and good natural light ideal for studio or home office. Pleasing views across gardens and distant hills. Useful eaves storage cupboards. Radiator, telephone point.

OUTSIDE
There is a screened courtyard immediately to the rear of the property. Pots and plants thrive in this micro-climate. A flagstone path with vintage iron gate leads to a second courtyard with original brick-built privy.

From here, steps and flagstone path lead to an enclosed and private area, planted for year-round interest and a wonderful space for uninterrupted sky views or bee watching.

On entering this next section, a central path meanders through planting on both sides which includes evergreen yew, old roses, ornamental crab apple trees, heritage apple and cob nut trees. The path eventually leads to a part-walled garden with orchard, old rambling roses, further ornamental crab trees, shaded 'woodland' planting and re-wilding areas which attract butterflies and pollinators and with uninterrupted views of Allington Hill. A true haven and you would never guess you were in the centre of town.

There is a substantial brick-built STORE adjoining the neighbour's store and there is a shared access
path directly onto the street, ideal for garden deliveries.

SERVICES: All mains services are connected. Council Tax Band 'B'. Combi mains gas boiler providing heating and hot water.

AGENTS' NOTE: The garden photos were taken in the summer of 2021 showing the full glory in the height of summer. Internal photos to follow shortly.
