A charming detached period stone cottage with lovely sunny private gardens on the fringe of Bradpole Village within easy reach of Bridport town centre. EPC Band D.

The Property - Vine Cottage is a charming and well-presented detached stone period cottage with lovely sunny and private landscaped gardens on the edge of Bradpole village close to open countryside.

It is estimated to date back over 250 years with later additions, being built of solid stone with the main roof thatch (the later additions have clay tiles and a new concrete tiled roof). The cottage has the immense benefit of not being listed and has been sympathetically modernised and altered over the years. Under the current ownership since 2007, the extensive number of quality improvements include rethatching, installation of gas central heating, rewiring, replumbing, lining of the chimney, installation of hardwood sealed unit windows and extensive rebuilding/upgrading of the conservatory in hardwood together with Pilkington glass. Upgrading of the utility/hobbies room including reroofing, new velux windows and internal relining plus extensive landscaping including a new stone wall.

The cottage offers immense charm and character with features including exposed natural and colour washed stone, exposed brick, exposed beams, vaulted beams and panelled ceiling to the kitchen, stripped pine cottage doors, large stone and beam inglenook fireplace with woodburner, exposed wide floorboards and picture rails. Other features include farmhouse/cottage style kitchen with pine units and stoneware sink, gas fired Agathermic cooker range (dating back to the 1950's and providing supplementary hot water), bathroom with period style fittings and mains power shower.

The accommodation is very well presented and arranged over three floors, enjoying a sunny south facing rear aspect, extending to:
ground floor - pillared porch, reception hall, large utility/store/hobbies room (potential for additional bedroom), kitchen, lobby, bathroom, sitting/dining room, large full width conservatory with vine.
First floor - bedroom 1, large landing/occasional 3rd bedroom
Second floor - large attic bedroom 2

The cottage enjoys a private corner plot and lovely landscaped gardens are a further feature, being private and very sunny.

Planning Permssion - There is planning permission (application number WD/D/20/000770) for a two-storey extension. The planned extension to the ground floor will provide a new kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom and on the first floor an additional bedroom and bathroom. The current kitchen could provide a 5th bedroom if required and it could be an additional bedroom within the current large landing.

Outside - There is a gravelled driveway with parking for 2 cars leading to a detached single garage. The gardens lie to the rear and side enjoying the sunny and private south/west facing aspect. From the driveway, a pedestrian gate leads to a large side garden with raised beds, seating area, timber decking and a summerhouse. The rear garden includes a full width paved terrace with large stone wall for privacy. Steps lead up to a timber decking area with well stocked borders.

Situation - The property enjoys a tucked away yet convenient position on the fringe of Bradpole which rates highly amongst the villages surrounding Bridport owing to its proximity to both the town centre, a good range of amenities and glorious open countryside. Within the village amenities include a village shop, butchers, church and village hall with an active and friendly community. A broad range of amenities is available in Bridport town centre which is just 1.5 miles away, with regular bus services operating from the village and the former railway line foot- and cycle path being easily accessible from the property. The area is designated one of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with lovely walks across the stunning countryside in the locality, and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site is also nearby at West Bay. There are schools for children of all ages nearby including the Sir John Colfox secondary school and primary schools both in Bridport and nearby villages.

Services - All mains services, gas fired central heating, gas fired Agathermic.

Viewings - Strictly by appointment with Stags.

Directions - From Bridport town hall proceed along East Street and at the East Road roundabout take the road ahead to join the A35, signposted to Dorchester. Proceed on this road for about half a mile then turn left onto Lee Lane, signposted Bradpole. Continue for ? mile (taking care at the bridge) and Vine Cottage can be found on the left corner just before the former railway crossing.
