Description

This Grade II Listed, end-terrace cottage features three bedrooms and offers significant renovation opportunities for those looking to invest in a unique property. Nestled in the quaint hamlet of Long Bredy within the scenic Bride Valley, the residence is surrounded by natural beauty and community amenities. The nearby village of Litton Cheney provides essential services, including a primary school and pub, contributing to a vibrant local atmosphere. The property, constructed of local stone under a slated roof, retains many original features from its 1865 build, including high ceilings, exposed wooden floors, and period fireplaces. Although it has undergone some modernization over the past two decades—including an oil-fired boiler for central heating—much work remains. The property's electrical system requires attention, particularly on the first floor. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for buyers with renovation expertise or vision for restoration. The outdoor space surrounding the cottage spans approximately 0.23 acres and includes extensive gardens that could once again thrive with revitalization efforts. Currently featuring remnants of a former productive allotment garden complete with fruit bushes and mature trees, this outdoor area offers ample potential for horticultural enthusiasts or those looking to create serene outdoor living spaces. Additionally, there are several outbuildings accessible via a shared driveway that present further investment opportunities; these structures could be repurposed into garages or additional storage facilities subject to planning permissions. The proximity to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path enhances this property's appeal as both a residential retreat and an investment opportunity within a desirable location. For those interested in country living while still being within reach of larger towns like Dorchester and Bridport—each offering their own amenities—the property stands as a promising candidate for long-term investment after careful renovation.
