Property description

A well-presented, three bedroom character cottage, with distant views over Marshwood Vale, wonderful gardens and off-street parking.

The cottage is ideally situated between the popular coastal towns of Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Built originally in the 1800s the cottage has been renovated and extended by the owners to provide good sized accommodation, and would make an ideal home or holiday home. The generous well-kept gardens are a particular feature.

This property itself is an attractive whitewashed stone house, offering three bedrooms including two double aspect rooms on the first floor and a ground floor single. Entrance to the property is via an attractive stone archway which leads through to the front door at the side. On entering the property, there is a small lobby which leads to a central hallway, and is fitted with a useful built in cloaks cupboard. The sitting room has a front facing aspect via a wide bow window and a red brick fireplace creating a focal point for the room.

The dining rooms is accessed via large glazed internal double doors, again with a large bow window to the side, flooding the room with natural light. The kitchen is of generous proportions, with an under counter breakfast bar and dual aspect, making it a light and welcoming room. It is well equipped with a plentiful range of wall and base level units, a fitted electric oven with four ring gas hob and extractor hood above, stainless steel sink and drainer, and there is also space for fridge and plumbing for washing machine. Also on the ground floor is a spacious bathroom which is fitted with a white suite, comprising a bath and separate shower, wc and wash hand basin. The only ground floor bedroom is opposite the bathroom and enjoys a rear aspect and a pretty fireplace.

The excellent presentation continues to the first floor, where there are two double, dual aspect bedrooms. The master bedroom is fitted with a wash hand basin unit and there is a long window overlooking the gardens.

A pathway leads round to the rear door with a short flight of steps and low stone walling down to the beautifully kept, split level lawned gardens. These are divided by mature hedging into three distinct areas, each a good size with mature trees and shrubs. The distant views over the Marshwood Vale make for a wonderful backdrop and the garden extends sideways behind the neighbouring property too.

There is a wide gated side entrance and a driveway which offers parking for several vehicles.

The property lies just outside the charming seaside town of Charmouth, which has a number of good shops, public houses and restaurants to its centre and lies midway between the former rope-making town of Bridport to the east and the Devon carpet making town of Axminster to the west. The A35 provides the major road link while there are mainline stations at Dorchester and Axminster. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the world Heritage site Jurassic coastline stretches all the way along Lyme Bay with Charmouth itself being well known for its fossil finds.<br/><br/>
