2 bedroom detached house for sale

A 2/3 bedroom detached character cottage situated in the heart of this thriving market town with parking and a generous low maintenance courtyard garden.

THE PROPERTY
Cornerstone Cottage is a delightful home set back from the hustle & bustle of the town, yet just moments away, with its eclectic mix of independent shops, café culture, antiques quarter, and vibrant market. This wonderful cottage would make the most fantastic primary or secondary home for those who love to be within walking distance of all amenities and is just a short distance from the coast at West Bay.

The cottage is accessed via a gravelled driveway with parking for 2-3 cars. An attractive stone boundary wall separates a generous low maintenance courtyard garden to the front, with plenty of space to dine and entertain, with a stone outbuilding/store to one side. This could be converted for use as a studio or home office STPC.

Upon entering, a small porch opens into a very generous and characterful sitting room, with stripped floorboards, deep window sills, beamed ceiling, and a fireplace to one side with gas stove, making for an extremely comfortable space for all to gather. The kitchen, with plenty of room for a breakfast table is fitted with a range of shaker style base and wall units, a double electric oven, and a four ring gas hob.

There is also a ground floor WC and cloakroom leading off the sitting room, with the stairs in the corner rising to the first floor.

The landing leads into the family shower room and the principal bedroom; a very spacious and light filled room with a peaceful ambience. A further flight of stairs climb to the second floor loft bedrooms, (one leading to another) which could be used as one large space, with a bed to one end, and a dressing area/study to the other, or as two separate rooms if required.

LOCATION
Cornerstone Cottage is tucked away in the heart of the bustling market town of Bridport, within walking distance of all local amenities and schools, as well as West Bay and the famous Jurassic Coastline, a World Heritage site. Bridport is a most attractive Georgian town that retains an excellent number of independent shops and restaurants and a thriving street market on Saturdays and Wednesdays. A choice of supermarkets is available in or around the town including a Waitrose and Morrisons. There is a cottage hospital, a large medical centre, a popular leisure centre, a successful Arts Centre, two theatres, and a number of independent festivals and events are held throughout the year.

Much of the countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where strict planning controls apply to preserve its special character. West Bay is a popular small seaside resort with harbour, shops, restaurants and attractive beach. The Dorset coast is now recognised as a World Heritage Site.

A further wider range of amenities, including a mainline railway station to London Waterloo can be found at the County Town of Dorchester, or Crewkerne.
