A charming detached period stone cottage with a garage/studio annexe in a picturesque location in the heart of this highly sought after coastal village. Grade 2 listed, Council Tax F, Freehold
THE PROPERTY
Manor Cottage is a classic/picture postcard detached period cottage, together with a separate garage/studio annexe, enjoying private and well stocked south-facing gardens in a very picturesque setting, in the heart of this highly sought after coastal village. It is very historic, dating back to the 17th century and formerly a farmhouse. The cottage originally belonged to the Pitt River Estate and is listed grade 2 of architectural or historic importance , it also lies within the village Conservation Area. The cottage and annexe building have main walls of solid stone under thatched roofs.
Manor Cottage has been under the current ownership since 1991 and over the years a whole number of improvements have been carried out. Although clearly well loved and maintained over the years, the cottage and annexe would now benefit from general upgrading.
The well proportioned accommodation faces south to the rear and has a whole number of character features, typical of its age and type, including exposed beams, solid wood front door, natural stone fireplace, window seats and small paned timber windows. The kitchen/breakfast room has an oil-fired Aga and there is oil-fired central heating, although the boiler is no longer working.
The annexe building (most likely formerly a farm building) offers great potential for a whole range of uses ie as a playroom/office or conversion to a small guest suite/letting annexe etc., subject to any necessary consents
ACCOMMODATION See floorplan
OUTSIDE
Large integral garage/studio annexe with parking to front and in addition there is on-street parking within Church Street, subject to availability.
The rear garden is a further feature being good sized, south-facing, private and very well stocked, comprising a full width adjoining terrace, lawn, a whole variety of flower and shrub beds, small vegetable patch, large lean-to concrete block and timber store and large stone shed/workshop.
SITUATION
Manor Cottage enjoys a picturesque setting within the old heart of the village and close to all the amenities. Burton Bradstock lies on the coast and is considered to be one of the most attractive villages in West Dorset. It is a conservation village and the centre consists largely of period stone and thatched cottages, for which the area is particularly well known. There are excellent local amenities including a shop/garage, Post Office, library, public houses, church, village hall, primary school and bus services. There is an excellent beach which forms part of the stunning Jurassic Coast. Virtually on the doorstep are public footpaths giving easy access to open countryside and to the beach and clifftops beyond.
The thriving market town of Bridport and the harbour/coastal resort of West Bay are both within easy reach. The beautiful coastal road is also nearby giving easy access to the larger towns of Dorchester and Weymouth.
