The Property
A charming Victorian attached cottage situated in the centre of this picturesque and sought after West Dorset village. Dating from the 1880's with brick and stone elevations under a slate roof, the cottage offers attractive and spacious living accommodation which has been subject to refurbishment and modernisation with double glazing (excluding utility room) whilst retaining its original character features.
On the ground floor, a useful entrance porch leads to a double aspect sitting room with oak flooring and period fireplace with wood burning stove. The kitchen/dining room is well appointed with handmade wall and floor cupboards, granite worktops, a range style lpg cooker and integrated appliances. Access from the kitchen leads to a useful utility room and separate shower room with WC.
On the first floor are 3 bedrooms and a luxury fitted bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.
Outside is an attractive walled cottage garden to the front, bounded by the village stream and stocked with an abundance of shrubs and plants. Situated adjacent to the cottage is a stone built garage/workshop ( The Old Smithy ) with pitched roof and double doors offering potential for a studio or additional accommodation subject to any planning conditions. A gravelled hardstanding area to the side leads to a gravelled courtyard garden to the rear with garden shed. Please note the neighbouring property has a right of access over the rear courtyard.
Situation
The picturesque village of Portesham lies close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline including the famous Chesil Beach, which stretches from Lyme Regis along the coast to the nearby coastal resort of Weymouth.
