St. Andrews Terrace, Bridport

A charming 1/2 bedroom period terraced cottage situated on the edge of town, with a lovely south-facing garden and within walking distance of shops.

The Property - Believed to have been in the 19th century, the cottage has all the character features one would expect of a property of its age including exposed beams, deep window sills and wooden floorboards. Having been sympathetically modernised by the current owners with improvements that include a new kitchen, a new ensuite shower room, a new flooring to the ground floor and the installation of a wood burner, the cottage now presents in good order throughout but requires some small finishing jobs.

The property is arranged over three floors, with living accommodation on the ground floor. To the front of the cottage there is a conservatory that is currently used as a dining room, behind which there is a sitting room with a focal point of a fireplace equipped with a wood burner with wooden beam over. Beside the sitting room there is a modern fitted kitchen equipped with floor and wall mounted units with worksurfaces over and an integrated oven with gas hob, dishwasher and under counter fridge. On the first floor there is a good double bedroom and contemporary bathroom, complete with built-in cupboards, with a thermostatically controlled shower over the bath.

On the second floor there is an occasional bedroom/loft room that has lovely exposed beams and built-in wardrobes, plus a newly fitted ensuite shower room.

Outside - To the front of the property there is a small area laid to paving and gravel with a greenhouse and log store. Across a shared pathway is a lovely well-stocked cottage garden with an array of herbaceous plants and shrubs designed to give shape, colour and form throughout the year. To the end of the garden there is a delightful seating area laid to limestone paving and a couple of raised beds.
