4 bedroom detached house for sale

A very impressive, newly refurbished, detached period cottage in the picturesque village of Chideock only 1 mile from the Jurassic Coast.

The Property - Bridge Cottage is a charming, very historic and spacious, detached chocolate box cottage in the centre of the picturesque village of Chideock and very close to the Jurassic Coast at Seatown. It is understood to date back to circa 1640 and was formerly two cottages. At one time it was a Post Office and tea rooms. The property is listed grade 2, of architectural or historic importance, and principally built of stone under a mainly thatched roof.

The property has been under the current family ownership since 1997 and has recently been subject to a comprehensive programme of improvement/modernisation undertaken professionally and to a very high standard, to create a lovely and very comfortable home.

The many impressive features include gas-fired central heating with cast iron style radiators, well equipped kitchen with quartz working surfaces and comprehensive appliances (electric double oven, induction hob, integrated fridge and integrated dishwasher), well fitted utility room, attractive period style bathroom/shower room fittings, oak veneer internal doors, water softener and quality floor coverings (including limestone flooring, luxury vinyl flooring and fitted carpets) plus new internal secondary glazing. The property was rethatched in 2015 but now benefits from recent overhauling and a new ridge.

The cottage offers a whole host of character style features, typical of its type, including exposed beams, exposed brick fireplace, large inglenook fireplace, window seats and wood panelling.

A detailed list of the refurbishment works undertaken is available on request.

Viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the many impressive selling features.
