Dottery, Bridport

Charming two bedroom country cottage adjoining open farm land, a short drive to Bridport town and the beach.

The Property - Lynch Cottage is one of a pair of agricultural labourers' cottages, probably built in the 19th century, with colour washed elevations under a slate roof. The beauty of this property is not only its gardens to two sides, but its position deep in the Dorset countryside adjoining open farmland while also being within short motoring distance of both the vibrant town of Bridport and the beach at West Bay. In addition, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, the property has huge potential to extend in the same way as the attached property.

Accommodation - The accommodation is simply laid out, with a sitting room focused around a fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove to the centre of the property, and to one side a kitchen/dining room with a kitchen area to one end and a dining area to the other. The kitchen has a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards, equipped with an electric oven, a ceramic hob and a dishwasher, with space for a washing machine. In addition downstairs there is a bathroom equipped with an electric shower over the bath.

Upstairs there are two good bedrooms. The property is double glazed, has a private treatment plant shared with its neighbour and has oil fired central heating with a boiler that was replaced recently. There is a useful outhouse to the rear of the property that currently houses the oil fired boiler and makes a good general storage room.

Outside - On the east side of the property there is a substantial area of garden laid to lawn enclosed by a mature hedge, above which there is a decked terrace that looks out over open countryside. Behind the cottage there is an area of driveway laid to stone chippings that provides parking for a couple of cars. Above the parking area there is a second area of garden laid to lawn which looks over the adjoining field, with a useful timber garden shed to one corner.

Situation - The property enjoys a semi-rural location, being within striking distance of Bridport and the Jurassic coastline. Bridport is a bustling and vibrant market town which has a history of rope making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It has an excellent variety of independent shops, supermarkets, hotels, pubs, restaurants and cafes catering for a range of tastes and wide ranging arts and music events, including the Literary Festival and Dorset Arts Week. There is a thriving twice weekly market with food, clothes, hardware and antiques and bric a brac. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. There is a good choice of primary and secondary schooling in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
