About
Charming 3 bedroom, end-of-terrace cottage situated in the sought after Fishing Village of Beer which is well presented throughout with attractive gardens to rear and parking to front.
Little Fossil is a substantial three bedroom end of terrace cottage situated in the idyllic coastal village of Beer within easy walking distance of the centre of the village and beach.
Beer itself is a highly picturesque and sought after fishing village situated on the Jurassic Coast.
Close by are delightful coastal and country walks, together with a pebble beach, fishing boats and a quaint village centre with day-to-day facilities.
The property was built we believe in the 1920’s and as such has some attractive characteristics associated with a house of this age yet has been updated and improved over the years and is now well presented throughout.
The accommodation flows over three floors and is surprisingly spacious throughout.
The front door opens to entrance hall with original checkerboard tiled floor with stairs rising and door to deep under stairs storage cupboard.
A door off to the right opens to the lovely open plan living/dining/kitchen with large bay window to front with views over the village and to countryside in the distance.
There is a recently installed log burning stove set on a slate hearth in the living room area and picture railings.
A large open arch opens to the kitchen/dining area with wood effect flooring, ample space for table and chairs and a cream comprehensive kitchen with matching range of base and wall units with space for slot in oven with stainless steel splash back and extractor over.
There are wood effect worktops with inset sink and space and plumbing for dishwasher. A door then links from here back into the entrance hall.
With three windows at the rear of the kitchen/dining area and the bay window to the front this delightful open plan room is flooded with natural light.
A further door opens to a rear sunroom with polycarbonate roofing and windows all around. This room also houses the mounted gas central heating boiler and has a door opening to the rear.
Directly outside is a covered decked area which provides seating and access to an external utility room/WC with wash basin and ample space for further appliances and space and plumbing for a washing machine.
Stairs rise from the entrance hall and turn to the first floor landing.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom at rear of the property with views over the delightful gardens, and bedroom two and bedroom three are both situated at the front of the cottage looking over the street.
In addition, on this level is the family bathroom which has a white suite with bath, WC, wash hand basin and a corner enclosed shower.
Further stairs turn and rise to an attic room on the upper floor which is currently used as an office.
This room has twin Velux windows to the rear both overlooking the rear garden and access to deep-eaves storage.
Outside: To the front of the property is a parking space which is a rarity in the centre of beer, with pedestrian gate to side, with raised flower and shrub beds and steps leading up to the front door.
The rear garden has an enclosed garden directly to the rear of the sunroom which provides an attractive and private seating area with corner flower and shrub bed and the covered decked seating from the path to the utility room.
A pedestrian gate to the rear then accesses a pathway which runs across the rear of the property and to one side leading to Clapps Lane to the front.
The neighbouring property also has access over this pathway.
Private steps lead up to a small pedestrian gate and further steps lead to the top of this delightful, terraced garden which has an abundance of flowering shrubs and plants with little pathways traversing through the terraces.
The top tier has a brick paved terrace and lawned area to one side and shed which provides glorious views across the rooftops across the top part of the village in one direction and to open fields in the other direction.
