Description

This detached three-bedroom cottage presents an intriguing opportunity for renovation and investment, set in a serene rural enclave with expansive views of the countryside. While it currently requires modernisation, its location between Symondsbury and the hamlet of Broadoak positions it well for those looking to create a peaceful retreat that is still conveniently close to the amenities of Bridport. The property features a straightforward layout beginning with an entrance porch that leads into a central hallway. To one side, you will find the kitchen equipped with wall and base units, a solid fuel Rayburn, and space for essential appliances. On the opposite side, the living room showcases charming details such as a wood-burning stove and a window seat that overlooks the garden—a perfect spot for relaxation. An inner hallway connects to the family bathroom and provides access to three generously sized double bedrooms, each offering unique perspectives on the surrounding landscape. Outside, the garden serves as a blank canvas awaiting your vision. Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, it also features an area dedicated to gardening that includes a greenhouse and shed. For those interested in additional land, there is an adjoining paddock extending approximately 0.76 acres available for purchase separately. This property is nestled within an area classified as Outstanding Natural Beauty, just four miles from Bridport—a vibrant market town known for its bustling street markets held twice weekly. The combination of charming period properties in the vicinity and access to outdoor activities makes this location appealing not only for potential homeowners but also investors seeking long-term rental opportunities or renovation projects. With mains electricity connected and heating provided via a solid fuel Rayburn system, along with private drainage and water sourced from Symondsbury Estate, this cottage has essential services in place while still leaving plenty of room for improvement. This is an excellent chance to acquire a piece of real estate with significant potential in a desirable rural setting.
