A delightful three bedroom property situated in a very peaceful position in the village with a charming garden backing onto open countryside a short distance from the World Heritage Jurassic coastline.

PROPERTY
Built in 2000 by the well renowned local builder, CG Fry & Son Ltd, of attractive Portland Stone elevations under a slate roof, No. 12 Malthouse Meadow sits in a particularly pleasant position in a quiet cul de sac within the popular village of Portesham, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on the doorstep of the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline.

The house itself has been owned from new and has been extremely well looked after, and therefore is in very good order throughout. The ground floor hall with a cloakroom & WC separates the kitchen/dining room to one side, with a good range of fitted pine wall and base units, leading into a utility room with access to the rear garden. To the other side, is a very well-proportioned sitting room, with a central open fireplace and French doors opening onto a large paved terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. The first floor boasts three double bedrooms with the principal room having a dressing area with built in wardrobes, leading to an en suite shower room, with the other two bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The front of the house is adorned with an attractive climbing wisteria, with a low-level stone wall retaining various mature shrubs and plants. There is a driveway to the side of the property, with gates opening onto a further drive leading to a single garage, set back from the house.

The rear garden is a true delight, with a large paved terrace perfect for entertaining leading from both the sitting room and utility. Steps lead up to a higher dining terrace, that sits alongside a level parcel of lawn. This continues up to a grassed bank overlooking the pretty stream with glimpses of the surrounding countryside through the mature tree lined boundary beyond, making for a very peaceful setting indeed.

All in all, this would make the most perfect primary of secondary home, in this wonderful West Dorset coastal village.
