Welcome to Cornerstone Cottage, a beautifully presented and thoughtfully restored Grade II listed detached cottage situated in the heart of the vibrant market town of Bridport. This charming period home offers an abundance of character, flexible living space arranged over three floors, a delightful garden, private parking, and a versatile outbuilding - all just a short stroll from local shops, restaurants, and amenities.
Upon arrival, you are welcomed through a front ENTRANCE PORCH, which opens into the heart of the home - a spacious and light-filled SITTING/ DINING ROOM. This inviting, open-plan space boasts dual-aspect windows to both the front and rear, flooding the room with natural light and creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere. A standout feature is the striking inglenook fireplace, complete with a Jotul gas fire stove and a charming exposed timber beam, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience.
Period details such as timber features and tasteful decor continue throughout, giving the room a timeless, elegant character. From here, a door provides access to a convenient ground floor W.C.
Beyond the SITTING ROOM is the KITCHEN/ BREAKFAST ROOM, thoughtfully laid out with a range of wall and base units, a built-in dishwasher, an integrated electric double oven, gas hob with extractor fan over, a fridge/freezer and a washing machine. There is also room for a breakfast table, making this a practical and pleasant space for informal dining. With windows to both the front and rear, the kitchen benefits from excellent natural light throughout the day. There is also access to loft storage which has a pull down ladder and is above the kitchen. A utility cupboard adjacent to the kitchen houses the gas boiler, a useful storage addition that maximises functionality.
Stairs from the main reception room rise to the first floor, where you'll find the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM. This generously sized double room enjoys light from both front and rear-facing windows and features built-in wardrobes, along with period detailing such as a chimney breast and wooden floors, adding further charm and character.
Also located on the first floor is the modern SHOWER ROOM, stylishly finished and comprising a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, low-level W.C, and a towel rail, all set against easy-clean vinyl flooring.
A second staircase ascends to the top floor, where a versatile attic room offers excellent potential as a home office or a creative space. This naturally light room has far reaching views at the top of the stairs looking out over parts of the town and countryside. Beyond the attic room is a SECOND BEDROOM, which also enjoys characterful features and could serve as a comfortable guest bedroom, child's room, or further workspace.
Outside
To the front of the property, a gravelled driveway provides OFF ROAD PARKING for multiple vehicles - a sought-after feature in a central Bridport location. A wooden gate opens into the fully enclosed and private garden, designed for easy maintenance with decorative stone, established shrubs, and fruit trees along with a cathedral bench. This peaceful space is perfect for relaxing, al-fresco dining, gardening, or entertaining. Also included are herb/ flower planters adding to the charm of the outside space.
A particularly unique aspect of the garden is the stone boundary wall, which contains embedded fossilised ammonites - a fascinating and beautiful reminder of the area's Jurassic heritage, and a feature that truly sets this property apart.
Also accessed from the garden is a detached stone-built OUTBUILDING, currently used as a workshop, but fully fitted with power and offering superb flexibility. Whether you're seeking a home office, studio, gym, or hobby room, this space can be adapted to suit your lifestyle.
A garden gate at the front leads conveniently onto Folly Mill Lane, providing easy pedestrian access to the town.
