About
THE PROPERTY. Garden Cottage is an attractive attached cottage which is located in a tucked away position behind the properties on The Street.
As a result it has easy access to all the village amenities, yet also benefits from vehicular access to the rear through Nutcombe Close, where there is a parking area for two cars and a pedestrian walkway through to the beautiful garden.
The property itself was converted by the current owners in the mid-1980s, before being considerably extended in 1990, adding the sitting room, conservatory and main bedroom in order to make the very most of the glorious views.
It has rendered exterior elevations under a slated roof and benefits from double glazed windows and gas-fired central heating.
The accommodation is found in very good order and the principal rooms are all particularly light.
From the garden side, the conservatory opens into the large open plan sitting room and dining room which also has ample space for a study area.
From here steps lead down into the kitchen which has been well fitted and through to a hallway off which is a bathroom with shower above the bath.
The hallway has a hatch to a small loft area and a door into a small outside yard which provides bin storage. The long entrance hall has plenty of storage and access onto The Street.
To the first floor there is a principal, double aspect bedroom which has superb views, a wash hand basin and shower. The two further bedrooms have basins and there is also a first floor WC.
OUTSIDE Undoubtedly one of the main features of Garden Cottage is its superb walled garden which has beautiful north easterly views to the neighbouring hills.
It is in the main laid to lawn and is surrounded by profusely stocked shrub beds and specimen trees.
Adjacent to the cottage is a paved courtyard which takes advantage of the delightful views and there is also another small internal yard for bin storage.
The property is approached from Nutcombe Close to the rear where there is a parking area for two vehicles and a pedestrian walkway through to the garden. SITUATION.
Charmouth is a delightful village which has a strong community and sits on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast on a stretch of coastline which is renowned for its rich fossil beds and dramatic scenery.
