House For Sale £595,000
A virtually detached, 4 bed character local stone/thatch house beautifully presented with delightful established gardens, double garage ripe for conversion and views to the sea and up to the Chapel on the hill, with good village facilities close by
SITUATION: The property enjoys a corner plot just off the main Weymouth Road in the heart of the sought-after village of Abbotsbury. This is an idyllic location which suffers little traffic noise and is close to the centre of the village with its Post Office/general stores, tea rooms, galleries, the Ilchester Arms public house, local businesses including wood gallery, the Abbotsbury Gardens and Swannery and the magnificent hillside chapel.
Most of the village is under the management of the Ilchester Estate which ensures preservation of scenic streets and traditionally built homes. This village is steeped in history and exudes character and community and there are so many opportunities for a very wide range of leisure and creative interests, with the Jurassic Coastline and Chesil Beach on its doorstep.
The vibrant market town of Bridport lies some 8 miles to the east with Weymouth equi-distant to the east and Dorchester, the County Town some 10 miles away, with main line railway stations in both the latter towns and easily accessible ferry links to the Channel Islands, France and the Isle of Wight.
THE PROPERTY comprises a virtually detached, modern cottage built in 1987 featuring beautiful stone elevations with some brick detailing under an up-to-date thatched roof and has elevated street prominence. The attached brick/slate double garage is linked to the neighbours which, together with its recently fitted laundry room, offers the potential for office/annexe accommodation.
This is a lifestyle home ideal for early retirement harmonising modern living with charm and character affording 4 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 2 bathroom accommodation. All is beautifully presented with every attention to detail and ready to move into and enjoy forthwith with the seller prepared to be an end-of-chain situation.
The gardens have been well established as bee-friendly and offer a glorious haven with ease of maintenance, providing colour and texture all year round with plenty of specimen plants and private and enchanting sitting areas.
With little modern building within the local vicinity, this property offers a unique opportunity without further ado.
DIRECTIONS: Travelling east from Bridport on the Coastal Road towards Weymouth, proceed through the villages of Burton Bradstock and Swyre and into Abbotsbury. On entering Abbotsbury, pass the Gardens and proceed into the village when the driveway to this property will be found second right.
