Delightful Grade ll three-bedroom town centre cottage within walking distance of all the towns amenities.

The Property

South Street is one of those rare properties that has an indefinable feeling of comfort, character and style about it. Being grade II listed it has huge character with features that include open fireplaces, stripped wood floors, flagstone floors, paneled walls, shuttered window and double hung & casement windows. The standout room is the kitchen/ living/ dining room which lies to the rear of the property followed closely by an attractive sitting room to the front and spacious principal bedroom complete with ensuite above. Add a central town location where all the facilities of Bridport are within short walking distance and the cottage becomes a very good prospect indeed.

On the ground floor the accommodation is arranged with the kitchen/ living /dining room split into two areas. The kitchen area has a range of oak style freestanding units and cupboards that will remain with the property. An archway and a step leads down to the dining/ living area that has space for a large dining table to its centre, a focal point of an electric Aga to one side and lovely flagstone floor. Beyond is a classic, square sitting room arranged around a fireplace with an attractive wooden mantelpiece, an inset woodburning stove and a shuttered window to one end. The first floor accommodation is slightly larger than the downstairs by virtue of it extending over the alley-way below. The principal bedroom lies to the rear of the house, has views up to Bothen Hill and a doorway through to a well-equipped ensuite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms served by a contemporary shower room with a roof light over and a large double sized shower. Off the landing there is a utilities/airing cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine that again will remain in situ. Above the landing there is a hatch to a part boarded roof void useful for storage.

To the front a central door leads through an alleyway between the cottages with second door to the rear on the left hand side that leads into the house. The garden is detached from the cottage lying to the end of a shared walkway. The garden is fully enclosed and private. The gardens are particularly pretty and planted in a country style with an array of mature herbaceous and shrub plants with to one end a block built summer house and shed/workshop to the rear. In front of the summer house there is an area laid to stone sets, ideal for a table and chairs, that has views up to the church tower and takes in the Sun until close to sunset.
