A charming period 2 bed/2 bath cottage in rural village with conservatory, good garden, parking for 2/3 cars and views over open countryside to distant hills, 2 miles from Bridport

SITUATION: Hillview is situated on the southern edge of the rural village of Salwayash. Within the village there is a good primary school, local inn, church, modern village hall with recreational ground and play area. There is a good community with many clubs and activities provided in the village hall for all ages and a fish and chip van visits regularly.

There is close by access to a footpath across open countryside into Symondsbury.

The vibrant market town of Bridport lies some 2 miles to the south with its good range of mainly individual shops, 4 supermarkets, twice-weekly street market, vintage and artists' quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre and Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands and events and festivities all year round.

The coastal village of West Bay lies some 4 miles to the south with its fishing and boating harbour, beaches, water sports clubs, Golf Course, tourist attractions and is a gateway to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY has been well maintained and updated during the present ownership which spans some 17 years. This semi-detached cottage dates from 1853 and is not Listed and features rendered and colourwashed elevations (newly re-painted) under a mainly tiled roof. Improvements over the period have included a replacement conservatory/sun room to the south, replacement roof, modern electric consumer unit, repairs to the chimney to include a lead tray, fairly recently updated carpets and repairs to the gable end, together with redecoration to most parts. However, there is scope for cosmetic improvement such as updating the kitchen and bathroom facilities although fully serviceable.

The property enjoys fine countryside views to distant hills and a good-sized southerly, blank-canvas garden with dual parking spaces.
