House For Sale £500,000
A detached, three bedroom, period stone house with huge potential, in a lovely village location.
On the market for the first time since 1911, this property is believed to have been built in the 17th Century and has warm local stone elevations under a tiled roof, situated in a peaceful village location. The property in recent years has been rented out and although in good working order is now need of some renewal and refurbishment. To one side of the house there is space and huge potential for extension or reorganisation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
The house is currently organised with a good sitting room, centred around an imposing fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove to one side and spacious kitchen/dining room to the other. Both rooms stretch from the front to the back of the original footprint of the property while behind the kitchen there is a useful garden/utility room that has a breakfasting area to one end and utility area to the other. The kitchen is equipped with floor and wall mounted units and cupboards, with space for a dishwasher and an electric cooker to one end and a dining area to the other. Off the utility room there is a cloakroom. Upstairs there are three good bedrooms two of which have built-in wardrobes all served by a family bathroom equipped with a shower and a bath. To one side of the property there is a large attached garage with a vaulted ceiling which would make additional accommodation if brought into the house or perhaps a workshop. The property has gas fired central heating.
To the front of the property there is offstreet parking for a number of cars, while to the rear of the property there is a substantial garden that eventually narrows into a v shape all the way up to the village church. Immediately to the rear of the property there is an area of paved terrace that makes a good outside entertaining area during the Summer months. There is a formal area of lawn immediately beyond, edged by mature shrub and tree planting. Steps lead up to a less formal area of lawn that is punctuated by number of trees including a mature Apple and this area is enclosed by mature hedge and timber fencing. To the right-hand side of the property there is a utilities area that currently has a concrete hardstand with a timber shed upon it.
The property lies in of the popular village of Shipton Gorge, which is part of the Bride Valley villages. The village has an active community with pub, church, village hall, village society, walking group etc. Shipton Gorge is just a couple of miles from the World Heritage Site Jurassic coastline and beaches at Burton Bradstock and West Bay. 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. 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.
