Description
The Property - Tucked away on Mill Lane in the sought-after village of Chideock, Dawn Cottage is a characterful late 18th-century home constructed from local stone and crowned by a traditional thatched roof. The cottage forms part of the historic fabric of the village and was originally associated with Chideock Court.
The property successfully combines its period character with a high standard of modern comfort. During 2025, the cottage was comprehensively updated, including the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, replacement flooring, redecoration throughout, upgraded lighting and a new circuit board. The thatch was re-ridged in 2023, while gas-fired central heating is provided by a boiler installed in 2020 and covered by a 10-year warranty.
Extending to approximately 1,098 sq ft, the accommodation is particularly versatile. The ground floor includes an impressive principal bedroom with French doors opening onto the garden, together with a contemporary en suite bathroom incorporating a generous walk-in shower. This arrangement offers an excellent degree of accessibility and could appeal particularly to those seeking bedroom accommodation on the ground floor.
Two additional bedrooms are found on the first floor, each benefiting from built-in storage and attractive long-distance views. A further bathroom and a comfortable dining room and sitting room complete the accommodation. Downstairs there is a reception room with french doors leading to a patio.
Throughout, the cottage retains the warmth and character expected of a historic Dorset home, whilst the recent refurbishment means much of the work associated with updating a period property has already been undertaken.
Outside - Dawn Cottage occupies a generous plot, providing attractive outside space with plenty of potential for relaxation, entertaining and gardening, complemented by mature apple trees and a well-established fig tree. The property further offers a garage, providing useful parking or storage. The property of the rear has vehicular access along the driveway to their property.
Situation - The house benefits from being tucked away from any passing traffic, a short walk to the sea and forming part of the popular coastal village of Chideock. Chideock is a popular West Dorset village, being just under a mile from Seatown and the renowned Jurassic coastline and Lyme Bay. Bridport is three miles away and is a bustling and vibrant market town with a history of rope-making. It has a variety of shops, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, golfing, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. The region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling.
