Owners say, "On viewing the cottage for the first time, we were enveloped by a lovely cosy feeling. In short, 'we were home'."
Tucked away just a gentle stroll from the vibrant centre of Bridport, this picture-perfect detached thatched cottage is the very definition of English country charm. Unlisted and steeped in character, this chocolate box-style home weaves period features with everyday comfort to create a warm, welcoming home — a rare gem in this sought-after corner of West Dorset.
From the moment you arrive, the cottage enchants with its classic thatched roof, pretty frontage, and inviting porch. Inside through the glazed porch, the SITTING ROOM exudes historic charm — at its heart is a magnificent inglenook fireplace, complete with the original bread oven, perfect for cosy evenings beside the fire. Rich parquet flooring, oak-panelled window seats, an exposed beam, and ambient wall lighting create an atmosphere that is both elegant and timeless.
The dual-aspect DINING ROOM bathes in natural light, offering a graceful space for entertaining or quiet morning coffees, with views across the garden. The cottage KITCHEN is the true soul of the home — featuring granite worktops, wooden shaker-style units, and a characterful Rayburn™ stove with a tiled splash back at its centre. A stable door leads directly to the rear garden, bringing the outdoors in. There’s space for modern appliances, including a fridge/freezer and washing machine, blending practicality with country charm.
On the ground floor, you'll also find a beautifully appointed FAMILY BATHROOM, complete with a bath with shower over, vanity basin, W.C, and part-tiled surrounds, all softly lit by wall lights. An airing cupboard and rear-facing window add to its convenience. A separate cloakroom then provides additional functionality.
Also on this level is a wonderfully versatile THIRD BEDROOM — ideal as a guest room, study, or snug. It boasts parquet flooring, an open fireplace, and striking exposed stonework, creating a truly characterful escape.
Upstairs, two further double bedrooms offer lovely views to the front and are filled with soft natural light. Each room is full of charm, with space to unwind and dream. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has exposed beams, built in cupboard, built in wardrobe and has a window to the front aspect. BEDROOM TWO has exposed beams and a window to the front aspect.
Step outside, and the magic continues. The REAR & SIDE gardens are a private getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A natural spring adds a unique touch, while the lawns, mature hedging, and potting beds are a gardener’s delight. Enjoy summer evenings under the stars on the paved patio, or retreat to the timber summerhouse — equipped with light and power, perfect for hobbies, reading, or a home office. A wooden shed offers further storage, and the gated access to the garden ensures privacy and security.
A generous garage with light, power, and an up-and-over door completes the property, providing space for parking or a workshop.
The bustling market town of Bridport has a history of rope making and a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and also many excellent arts and music events. It is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west with good road links along the A35 and transport links via mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
