Description
This one-bedroom Grade II Listed cottage is tucked away in Seymour Place, within easy reach of Bridport town centre. The ground floor has a sitting room with a night storage heater and a separate kitchen with fitted cupboards and a sink. Upstairs are a bedroom and a bathroom with a bath, WC and wash basin. The property is offered as a refurbishment project, with scope to update the accommodation while retaining its period character.
Outside, there is a front garden with shrubs and a garden chalet. There is no allocated parking; a nearby Dorset Council long-stay car park offers permits. A separate area of garden and a small outhouse are available by separate negotiation. The cottage is freehold, connected to mains electricity, water and drainage, and has part-electric heating. Bridport’s shops and services are close by, with bus links to nearby towns and West Bay within reach.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This Grade II listed cottage has a useful central Bridport position and a clear character-led project: the separate sitting room and kitchen, exposed beams and garden chalet give you a starting point for shaping a compact period home. The photographed interiors have worn and dated finishes, with peeling or damaged wall finish in places, and the garden is overgrown; the £25,000–£45,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved. The £150,000 asking price is about 6.9% below the local average per square foot, which is favourable, but purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the value case will depend on the finished result and careful control of the project.
Key opportunities
- Rework the compact sitting room and separate kitchen into a more cohesive period-home layout while retaining features such as the exposed beams and older fireplace.
- Refresh the cottage’s worn finishes, including the dated kitchen and bathroom, to create a more considered character interior.
- Clear and maintain the overgrown garden to make better use of the outdoor space and timber chalet.
Key risks
- Peeling or damaged wall finish is visible in places and should be checked to establish its cause and the repair needed.
- The £25,000–£45,000 works range makes this a substantial programme for a compact cottage, rather than a cosmetic refresh; budget and sequencing will matter, particularly given its Grade II listing.
- Purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, leaving limited headroom if the works run over budget.
