Owners say, "We felt welcomed into the village immediately. This cottage has not only given us a home, a workplace, and an additional income, it has, more importantly, given us a place in the community."
Nestled within a pretty row of terraced cottages in the ancient village of Bere Regis, this delightful two bedroom home offers comfort, closeness to amenities and walks with impressive countryside views and would be ideal for a couple or as an investment for holiday letting being located close to excellent road links to many of Dorset's attractions.
Stepping into the pretty DINING ROOM you immediately get a sense of the character of the property, the present owners have sympathetically managed to maintain the cottage feel but added a contemporary twist.
The SITTING ROOM is a lovely comfortable room with an ornate fireplace to cosy up to on cooler evenings.
The KITCHEN is wonderfully light - the glazed back door and wide window allows the natural light to stream in. The units are contemporary and there is a fitted gas hob, waist height electric double oven and space and plumbing for an upright fridge freezer and washing machine.
A step up from the sitting room takes you into the light, contemporary BATHROOM, with a wide bath with shower over, W.C., and wash basin set within a fitted unit.
From the dining room, stairs lead up to the first floor and the 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS. Both rooms overlook the village and have views across the village to the hills beyond.
Stepping outside, this is where the magic happens at 76 West Street. The slice of Bere Regis that is yours, offers different areas and levels for planting, growing, enjoying and entertaining.
Firstly, from the kitchen you step into a cosy, yet sunny walled 'room', which is perfect for an outside dining area. The natural stone creates a timeless zone where you can wile away an evening, eating with friends.
This natural stone extends with steps up to further levels of the GARDEN. Ideal for creating a fabulous display of plant pots and seating. Midway up, there is a cute platform, which is a perfect afternoon tea spot, just enough space for a bistro table and chairs and plenty of room for scones and jam as a Dorset Cream Tea. Which is first? Cream or jam?
The top level will reward you with views over the hills, there is first class decking that provides a seating area, placed just so, for the evening sun.
A SUMMER HOUSE is currently used as a home gym, with divine views across the village and beyond. Equally this could be used as a home office, hobby room, winter retreat, or with adding a bathroom (STPP) additional accommodation.
To the rear of the garden, is a cleverly designed STORAGE UNIT, suitable for garden paraphernalia and bikes and paddle boards.
There is ample PARKING for at least two cars, unusual in this village setting.
The cottage sits in the heart of the village of Bere Regis and just off the A31 and A35 with easy access to the county town of Dorchester to the west and Poole and Bournemouth to the south east. The riverside town of Wareham is a short drive through Wareham Forest. The property is within walking distance of the village shop, post office, church and public houses. The village has many beautiful walks along chalk streams, old tracks and through new and established woodland. The main line stations from nearby Wareham, Wool and Dorchester are to Waterloo and Bristol respectively. A short drive will get you to the sandy beaches at Studland, Swanage and Weymouth and Lulworth Cove is just 8 miles from Wareham.
