A charming 3-bedroomed characterful cottage in a very quiet location on a No-Through road with wonderful views across Marshwood Vale towards the sea. Recently renovated and refurbished inside and out with all the modern conveniences that one would expect whilst preserving all the original character.
This characterful, bright, and airy cottage is positioned in a glorious setting. The cottage has been tastefully renovated allowing the character features of the property to shine while installing all the conveniences one expects for 21st Century living. In terms of character, as one would expect of a Grade II Listed property, it has it in spades including two open inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, window seats, and Brace & Ledge doors. The position is outstanding - the cottage lies tucked away from any passing traffic along a No-Through road and occupies an elevated position affording it wonderful views over open countryside towards the sea - If it's a peaceful location you want this is the place!
The property is believed to have been built in the 18th Century and has handsome stone elevations under thatched and Roman tiled roofs. The cottage is entered through an entrance porch
which opens out into the largest room in the house which is a dining/living room, centred around a lovely inglenook fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove and laid to a flagstone-style floor.
To the right hand-side a door leads through to the sitting room which again has an inglenook fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove, while behind the dining room is the kitchen. The kitchen has been equipped in contemporary style with solid wood units and cupboards and a composite worksurface, with space for a contemporary electric cooker, a fridge and a dishwasher. To one side of the kitchen is a bathroom is equipped with an electric shower over the bath, while to the other side there is a back hallway beyond which there is a stylishly fitted shower/utility room. The bathroom and shower room have been equipped in contemporary style with underfloor heating. The utility room has concealed units and plumbing for both a tumble dryer and washing machine. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms.
To the front of the cottage is an off-street parking area, with a gated pedestrian access and steps that lead up to the front door. The front garden is planted in a cottage style, with attractive herbaceous and shrub planting giving way to a lawn.
To the rear of the property is a very attractive fully enclosed & secure garden, planted in the cottage style with a timber Summer House on an area of raised decked terrace. The Summer House has been sited to take in the spectacular views over the Marshwood Vale and down to the sea beyond. The gardens are for the most part laid to lawn with fruit trees, and areas of further herbaceous and shrub planting design to give shape colour and form throughout the year.
The small hamlet of South Bowood lies a few miles from the bustling and vibrant market town of Bridport. Bridport has a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the World Heritage Jurassic coastline at nearby West Bay. It has 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, golf and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
