This charming three-bedroom cottage, part of a trio of estate worker homes built in 1860, offers a unique opportunity for renovation in a picturesque rural setting within the Marshwood Vale. Nestled away from busy roadways, this property boasts serene views and immediate access to extensive walking trails through the stunning countryside.
The layout features a cozy living room centered around an original fireplace with an attached bread oven, complemented by a woodburning stove that enhances its inviting atmosphere. The ground floor also includes a well-equipped, contemporary kitchen fitted with ample storage solutions, along with a bathroom that presents potential for modern updates. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes, all benefiting from double-glazed windows and electric heating.
Outside, the property is framed by an enclosed garden primarily laid to lawn, featuring two useful timber sheds. There is ample space for off-road parking as well, allowing for flexibility with vehicles or outdoor projects.
Located in the hamlet of Broadoak, approximately four miles northwest of Bridport, this cottage is surrounded by other period properties and falls within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
