This beautifully presented cottage is a rare find, brimming with character, situated in a highly desirable location, and offering an easy walk to Beaminster's bustling town centre. It's perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, a holiday cottage or anyone looking for a unique home in a historic setting.
Upon entering the property, you step into a welcoming ENTRANCE PORCH, which is ideal for storing shoes and coats. From here, a door leads you into the spacious SITTING ROOM, which is filled with warmth and character. This inviting space features beautiful wooden flooring, a stunning fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and a unique combination of red brick and stone surround, separated by a rustic angled wooden beam. The room is naturally light and offers enough space for a small dining table, making it perfect for relaxing and entertaining alike.
Stairs rise to the first floor from the SITTING ROOM, while a separate door provides access to the KITCHEN. The kitchen has been tastefully designed with a range of base units topped with solid wooden worktops along with a Belfast sink. Character features include exposed stonework to the rear wall, adding a rustic touch. There is space for a freestanding fridge-freezer, a gas oven with hob and extractor above, and an integrated slimline dishwasher. A built-in storage cupboard offers additional space for pantry items or household necessities. A rear door leads to the charming rear garden.
Upstairs, you'll find TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, a FAMILY BATHROOM, and access to a useful AIRING CUPBOARD. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is located at the front of the property and benefits from generous proportions, natural light, and a feature chimney breast with exposed stonework, providing a beautiful focal point. The SECOND BEDROOM, located at the rear, also comfortably fits a double bed (currently has a king size bed)and enjoys views over the garden.
The FAMILY BATHROOM is well-appointed with a bathtub featuring a rainfall mixer shower over, a traditional-style W.C. with pull-cord flush, and a wash hand basin. Classic tiling and fittings preserve the home's period feel while offering modern convenience.
Outside
Outside, the REAR GARDEN is a private and low-maintenance space, ideal for relaxation or outdoor dining. The GARDEN includes a mixture of low-level shrubs and bushes, along with a paved patio or hardstanding area. A stone-built garden shed is divided in half, with this property owning the right-hand side as viewed from the house. An external tap adds convenience for gardening or outdoor cleaning. The property also benefits from a shared pedestrian right of way, providing rear access for yourself and neighbouring cottages.
