House For Sale £400,000
A charming age-restricted 2/3 bedroom contemporary cottage to the centre of the sought-after village of Chideock, away from passing traffic.
This is one of nine individual properties believed to have been built circa 1991 by renowned local developer cg Fry and has stone, brick and rendered elevations under a slate roof. The cottages lie to the centre of the attractive village of Chideock, away from passing traffic in a quiet backwater. The property is age-restricted in that at least one of the inhabitants is required to be over the age of 60. The cottage is arranged over two floors with the living accommodation on the first floor and the sleeping accommodation below. To the front of the property there is a courtyard garden at first floor level enclosed by a picket fence that leads up to the front door, while to the rear of the property there is access to the ground floor through the garage. The property has in recent years undergone a rolling programme of renewal and refurbishment taking in a new kitchen, a new shower room, a gas fired boiler and all the flooring within the property. On the first floor the floor is laid to quality laminate flooring with the exception of the kitchen and shower room which are laid to a quality vinyl.The kitchen has been fitted in some style with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with integrated appliances that include an electric double oven with gas hob over and a fridge.The sitting room centres around the fireplace with a coal effect gas fire that is currently disconnected, while the second reception room could be used in a number of different ways including a dining room, a study or perhaps a third bedroom. In addition off the hall there is a contemporary shower room. Downstairs there are two good bedrooms one of which has an ensuite WC. There is an integral garage accessed off the lower hallway behind which there is a utility/laundry room. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout, has all the insulation qualities that one would expect of a contemporary house and a modern condensing gas fired boiler.
To the front of the property there is a pretty South and West facing courtyard garden, enclosed by picket fencing with a herbaceous and shrub planting to the edges and space for numerous pots. There is an outside dining area that takes in the sun for much of the day. To the centre of the development there is useful bin storage for the use of all the residents, while the communal areas of the gardens are maintained collectively for a maintenance fee of, as of April 2020, £130 per quarter. Buildings insurance is also included in the maintenance fee. To the rear of the property there is access to the integral garage.

The village of Chideock is a most charming village with many delightful stone and thatch properties. There is good access to the beaches and sea at Seatown, approximately ¾ mile distant. The village provides a number of facilities, including two public houses, a general store/newsagents/post office, churches and village hall. The area is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the village is close to National Trust land with spectacular cliff and coastal walks. Nearby Bridport has a history of rope-making and offers a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and excellent arts and music events. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the East and Axminster to the West. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area and communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
