Property description

This pretty cottage has a great deal to offer. Set on the very edge of Beaminster, it is a double fronted period property but unlisted and surprisingly spacious. The vendor has owned the property since 1967 and has worked on it since then and created a wonderful family home. Downstairs there are two reception rooms, kitchen, utility and boot/shower room. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one with a door out onto a roof terrace, plus an office space and family bathroom. Outside is an enclosed garden, parking and a garage. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout. It is very rare to have so many benefits found in a cottage in Beaminster so early viewing is strongly recommended.

The property is laid out as follows

Entrance door is to the rear and through the conservatory with stone base and windows. This room offers a lovely additional reception room. Off this room doors lead into the garage/workshop, kitchen and a very useful boot/shower room.

The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units. Inset circular sink, gas hob and electric oven. A breakfast bar made out of solid timber has recently been added. Just beyond the kitchen, separated by a glass and wood screen, a door opens into the utility. Here another sink has been added with additional worktop space and storage. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and other white goods.

The property has a central lobby. Stairs rise to the first floor and a door leads into the L-shaped sitting/dining room. This attractive double aspect room is wonderfully light and comfortable and presently has a large wood burner (not included in the sale) as its central feature. There is plenty of space for a table to seat six - eight people.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master has a front aspect with excellent built-in storage across one wall and the added benefit of a vanity unit with sink. The twin bedroom is an equally good size and the third bedroom is a small double with access out onto a very pretty roof terrace overlooking the river and rooftops.

The vendor has also created a room for a study/workroom with rear aspect and built in storage.

The family bathroom is generous having a bath with shower and glass screen, there is a vanity unit with w.c. And basin. Excellent additional storage.

Beaminster is a small West Dorset country town nestling in the hills surrounded by countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has many fine examples of Georgian architecture as well as picturesque 17th century cottages and at its heart is a conservation area with listed buildings, a number of which are built of mellow limestone. This thriving community has a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, many of which are clustered around the town Square, and there are two schools, (primary and secondary). There is also an annual music festival as well as an arts festival and the surrounding countryside and superb coast, which is designated a World Heritage Site, can be accessed via a network of foot and bridle paths. The larger towns of Bridport, Dorchester and Yeovil are within reach along with Crewkerne where there is also a main line railway service to London (Waterloo).
