Detached house for sale in Uploders, Bridport DT6

Handsome detached three bedroom period property with a wealth of accommodation, a lovely garden, a rural outlook and in a good village with a pub.

The Property

The property was probably built in the 19th century and has warm local stone elevations under a slate roof. What singles out this property from the norm is its location on the south side of the village of Uploders overlooking the beautiful Dorset countryside, within walking distance of the thriving village pub and a short drive to both Bridport and the beach at West Bay. Add a cottage with huge character and a wealth of accommodation that can be used in any number of ways and you have a classic country retreat.

The two largest reception rooms are centred traditionally around imposing fireplaces, each fitted with a woodburning stove. The kitchen lies to the centre of the house and is equipped with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted hand built units and cupboards with hardwood worksurfaces over, and laid to a ceramic tile floor. Beyond the kitchen there is a garden room that is a the daytime hub of the house, with a dining area to one end and sitting area to the other with double doors looking out over the gardens and surrounding countryside. In addition, downstairs, there is a useful utility room off which there is a shower/wet room. Upstairs, accessed off a spacious landing, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout, has upvc double glazing and lpg gas central heating.

Outside

To the front of the property, double gates give way to a substantial area of hardstanding that provides parking for a number of cars. Immediately to the rear of the property there is an area of paved terrace that gives way to a second area of paved terrace that has the best of the views over the surrounding countryside, and makes an ideal entertaining area during the summer months. The unpaved part of the middle section of the garden is for the most part laid to lawn, below which is a second area of lawn with herbaceous and shrub planting to one side. Beyond, there is a third area that is more wild, and borders the stream well below. Within the garden there is a useful timber garden shed.

Situation

Uploders is a particularly attractive, sought-after village, to the Northeast of the former rope-making town of Bridport. The village has a public house to its centre with numerous walks to be had from the village itself and the Jurassic coast just a short drive away at West Bay. Bridport itself is a thriving town with markets held on Wednesdays and Saturdays and has a wide variety of shops, public houses and restaurants. The county town of Dorchester lies a comfortable motoring distance away to the east providing with Bridport a range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and horse riding opportunities abound within the area, and there is a choice of primary and secondary schooling.
