Description

A charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Litton Cheney.

THE PROPERTY
This well-presented cottage combines countryside character with modern comfort, offering flexible and light-filled living spaces, a small sunny patio, and a landscaped garden wrapping around the front and side of the property.

The property is entered via a welcoming front door leading into a central hallway. To the left, the kitchen is fitted with a stylish shaker-style suite and granite-effect laminate worktops, complete with a built-in eye-level double oven, ceramic hob with extractor above, and space for freestanding appliances. A front-aspect window fills the room with natural light, and there is space for a breakfast table.

Off the hallway, a cloakroom with shower provides added convenience. Leading from the hall, the dining room / second reception room features a front-aspect window, a rear access door, and double patio doors opening onto the wrap-around garden, which extends around the front and side of the property. A spiral staircase in this room rises to a first-floor mezzanine / occasional room with Velux windows, ideal as a home office, study, or additional living space. A storage shed is positioned outside the rear access door for added practicality.

At the rear of the property, the living room is a spacious and inviting retreat with a fireplace incorporating a woodburning stove, a rear-aspect window, and a single door opening onto a small enclosed patio seating area, perfect for outdoor relaxation.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom One, a front-aspect double, forms the principal suite. Bedroom Two, a rear-aspect double, and Bedroom Three, a rear-aspect single room (also suitable as a study), share a centrally located family bathroom comprising a white suite with a bath and shower facility, pedestal hand wash basin, and WC.

The wrap-around garden, accessed from the dining/second reception room, is landscaped and laid to lawn, with planting beds around the edges and a driveway leading down to the garden, offering an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space.

LOCATION & LIFESTYLE
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Litton Cheney, the property is surrounded by rolling countryside with scenic walks and village amenities nearby. The Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, while Bridport and Dorchester provide a full range of shops, services, and transport links, all while retaining the calm and charm of rural village living. The village is within easy reach of the thriving market towns of Dorchester and Bridport. Both towns provide an excellent array of shops, schools, restaurants and supermarkets. Dorchester has two main line railway stations to London Waterloo. Just a short drive south of Litton Cheney is the Jurassic Coastline at West Bexington.
