Pitchers, Salwayash, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A detached character-style modern, 4-bed cottage adjoining open fields with views, in immaculate condition and very tastefully presented, with double garage and good-sized gardens

SITUATION: The property is located within the no-through cul-de-sac known as Pitchers, adjoining an open pasture field behind, set well off the village road in a tranquil and private plot. The village of Salwayash has a very active community with a modern village hall, recreational ground and football field, a good primary school and a small village pub.

This is essentially a rural village just some 3 miles from the centre of the popular and vibrant town of Bridport where there is a good range of mainly individual shops, twice-weekly street market, artists and vintage quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, art centre and Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, events and festivals all year round.

The coastal village of West Bay lies some 5 miles to the south with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY was built in 1995 and features stone elevations with brick details under a slate roof with adjoining double garage also under a pitched slate roof. The property has recently been almost completely modernised with every attention to detail and is now beautifully and tastefully presented.

The accommodation is well proportioned and practical for family usage, with good-sized double-glazed replacement windows affording excellent natural light flow and superb countryside views. The ground floors are mainly bamboo wood-effect for ease of maintenance and the first floor is mainly recently carpeted, the fittings and lighting has been mostly updated and the light fittings are of good quality and tasteful.

The gardens extend to the south and are bathed in sunshine for most of the day being well landscaped and maintained. There is also a double garage and large gated parking area.

The property ticks all the boxes for the most discerning buyer and could be occupied immediately with no further expense. However there is still potential for putting one's own stamp on the property.

DIRECTIONS: From Bridport town centre, proceed west to the second mini-roundabout and turn right signposted to Salwayash. Continue along this road for some 2.5 miles into the village of Salwayash. Take the first right-hand turning into Pitchers and follow the road round to the left. No 30 will be found on the right-hand side towards the end of the development.
