Bowood, Bridport

Delightful three-bedroom period property in a wonderful rural location taking in far-reaching views over the Marshwood Vale.

The Property - Gollop Cottages is all about charm and position.

The property itself is a classic period cottage that has been substantially extended retaining the charm of the original cottage and adding a lovely kitchen/dining room that brings the property firmly into the 21st-century. The position is outstanding in a peaceful rural location high above the Marshwood Vale that allows far-reaching views to the south over the vale to the sea to be enjoyed all year round. Add a lovely and substantial cottage garden and you have country living at its best.

The property has been extended to the front and side. The front extension encompasses an entrance hall which in turn leads to the kitchen/dining room which has been renewed in recent years in a country cottage style and has space for a dining table to its centre. The sitting room focuses on an open fireplace and looks out onto the gardens as does the second room that is currently arranged as a double bedroom. The bathroom has painted timber panelling to dado height and a smartly finished white suite. Upstairs there are two good bedrooms. The property has LPG gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

Outside - To the front of the property, there is a driveway laid to gravel which leads to an area for designated parking with an electrical supply for a car charging point. At the front of the property on the right there is very pretty cottage garden well stocked with an array of mature herbaceous and shrub planting. Immediately to the rear of the property there is an extensive area of paved terrace that provides an excellent entertaining area during the summer months, this then gives way to a substantial garden that is for the most part laid to lawn and punctuated by mature trees. A stone/state tiled shed provides garden power and light for the terrace area. The garden becomes wider the further down the garden one travels, with outstanding views over the Marshwood Vale and to the sea.

Situation - Bridport has a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay.
