Waytown, Bridport

Charming detached three bedroom cottage in wonderful rural location with huge potential all set in 0.347 acres

The Dwelling - This cottage is all about position and potential. The property lies in some glorious rolling countryside to the north of Bridport surrounded by open countryside. The property was originally a cottage that has over the years been substantially enlarged however it is now in need of refurbishment. Given the size of the plot, it is anticipated that the next owner will want to substantially remodel and enlarge the property subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. As the property is not listed this really is an outstanding opportunity.

Accommodation - The accommodation is arranged as following. On the ground floor, the original sitting room and dining room are arranged either side of hallway to the front behind which there is a substantial kitchen running along the rear of the property with, to one end, a conservatory and to the other a wet room, a utility room and a study/garden room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms served by both a WC and a bathroom. The property has a newly installed private drainage system that complies to the 2020 binding regulations and mains water is also newly installed.

Outside - To the front of the property a pedestrian gate gives way to a paved path that leads up to the front door. On the south side of the cottage there is a paved terrace. On the east side of the property, there is a vehicular access that flows through to a substantial area of hardstand which leads up to the cottage and provides parking/turning for any number of cars. The vast majority of the garden lies on this side of the cottage and is for the most part laid to lawn bordered by the village brook, hence the name. Within the gardens there is a useful summer house and the plot it all extends to 0.347 acres.
