East Swilletts Farm Cottages, Seaborough, Beaminster, DT8

A semi-detached 2 double bed rural house dating from the 1930's well maintained and updated with a prevalence of natural wood and offering additional potential, with carport, good garden and countryside views in a very quiet location

SITUATION: The property is located in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is in a rural location along country lanes, backing onto and overlooking open farmland/beautiful countryside from all aspects. Seaborough is a small village on the edge of Drimpton and Mosterton and there is a high presence of equestrian and agricultural businesses surrounding it. The early morning work-riding out passes the property close by leading up to the gallops. The village of Broadwindsor lies 3-4 miles away with its award winning community pub and store both of which are successfully run by volunteers.

The nearest town of Beaminster lies some 4.5 miles away with its historic town centre, good day-to-day facilities, schools and medical centre. The large village of Mosterton lies some 2 miles away where there is a pub, Church, convenience store, village hall, recreational ground and primary school. Crewkerne's rail station with services to London and the South West is around 2.5 miles away.

The coast at West Bay lies some 11.5 miles away with its beaches, fishing/boating harbour, water sports facilities and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached country house of traditional construction dating from the 1930's which has been progressively updated over the years blending the prevalence of wood with more modern necessities - including original wooden floors and doors with mainly brass knobs, shelving and good built-in cupboards throughout. Modernisation includes new wet room downstairs with new bathroom furniture and fittings. To maximise the view there are large, single pane, double-glazed windows and also a large, modern double-glazed conservatory overlooking the back garden. This is very much a country home for those seeking peace and tranquillity with no road noise and a totally country life-style.

A single storey extension on the west side provides a utility room and wet room with vaulted ceiling.

The large garden is south-facing and backs onto open pastureland.
