A charming and well presented end terraced stone cottage with garage plus workshop in a delightful village setting, not far from Bridport
The Property - 1 Hyde Cottages is a pretty double-fronted end terraced cottage, being one of only five and understood to date back to circa 1865, being originally under the ownership of the well known Gundry family and during World War II was occupied by the American army. The original cottage has main walls of solid stone and the later two-storey rear extension is of cavity construction. It is listed grade 2, of architectural or historical importance.
Under the current ownership since 2003, the property has been subject to extensive improvement/modernisation and now offers all modern amenities to include gas-fired central heating, traditional and uPVC windows, multi fuel stove, well equipped kitchen with solid pine fronted units, AEG electric double oven and Zanussi electric ceramic hob and a modern, fully tiled, bathroom with Mira Sport electric shower and electric towel rail.
The accommodation is very well presented and enjoys views over Walditch, taking in The Hyde Real Tennis Court and the surrounding countryside. Character features include picture rails, window seats, attractive fireplaces, panelled doors, solid pine cupboards and exposed stone.
Briefly, the accommodation extends to:
Ground floor - Reception hall, living room, dining room, inner lobby, utility, cloakroom, kitchen with walk-in pantry.
First floor - Landing, 3 bedrooms, bathroom.
The cottage stands in a larger than average plot and the gardens are a further feature, being well laid out, planted and landscaped. There is also the added benefit of a single garage and a separate workshop.
Outside - The cottage is set back and has a good size front garden and side pedestrian access. The front garden is well laid out with lawns, well stock flower and shrub beds. The rear garden is, again, attractively laid out and comprising an adjoining raised terrace with basement store, lawn and a whole range of flower and shrub beds plus paved terracing and small vegetable patch.
There is a useful range of outbuildings - summerhouse with power, greenhouse, potting shed, log store/brick shed.
From the back garden the rear pedestrian gate gives access to the single garage and the separate workshop, both with power.
The cottage also has the added feature of having a one-fifth share of the rear shared amenity land (owned by the five Hyde Cottages) comprising a wild flower meadow with orchard planted with a wide variety of fruit trees.
