Entering the property, the ENTRANCE HALL is both spacious and welcoming, offering an immediate sense of comfort and thoughtful design. A convenient CLOAKROOM lies just off the hallway—ideal for guests—while direct access to the integral double garage makes day-to-day living particularly seamless, especially for those who value security or ease of movement in all weathers.
Also on this level is a well-proportioned STUDY, beautifully fitted with bespoke built-in shelving. With peaceful front-facing views and a quiet atmosphere, it offers an ideal space for working from home or pursuing hobbies. Equally, it could serve as a fifth bedroom for visiting family or future flexibility.
The main living accommodation is located on the first floor, designed to maximise the enjoyment of both natural light and the enviable garden views. At the heart is the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM - a light-filled space fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, high-level double oven, and integrated hob. Practicality is assured with space and plumbing for a dishwasher and under-counter fridge, while under-cupboard lighting and tiled splashbacks enhance the warm and functional aesthetic. A stainless steel sink is perfectly positioned beneath a window that looks out over the delightful garden - a quiet reminder of the peaceful rural setting.
Flowing directly from the kitchen is the DINING ROOM, perfect for both informal family meals and more formal gatherings. Double doors open into the SITTING ROOM, a generous, dual-aspect space with soft wall lighting and a charming multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth—ideal for cosy evenings or weekend functions.
From the dining room, sliding patio doors lead to the CONSERVATORY. With its dual aspect windows and door to the garden, this room serves as a year-round haven: sunny and open in summer, yet perfectly suited for warm winter afternoons with a book and tea in hand.
Just beyond the kitchen is the REAR HALL, providing access to the garden and leading to a well-fitted UTILITY ROOM with additional space for laundry appliances, storage, and a fridge/freezer.
Also on this level is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM suite—a spacious and calming room with built-in wardrobes, a rear window looking out over the garden, and patio doors leading directly onto the terrace. The EN-SUITE shower room features a double shower, pedestal basin, W.C., extractor fan and tasteful tiled flooring, along with a window to the side aspect for natural ventilation.
From the stairs a generous LANDING provides access to the partially boarded loft space (via hatch and ladder), and a well-placed storage cupboard helps keep things neat and well-organised.
BEDROOM TWO, situated at the front of the house, is a particularly good-sized double with a built-in wardrobe and a pleasant outlook. BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR are also doubles, with side aspect windows.
The FAMILY BATHROOM completes this floor, featuring a classic three-piece suite including a bath with shower over, pedestal basin and W.C., complemented by part-tiled walls and a window to the side.
Outside
The grounds of this home are genuinely exceptional and will appeal strongly to anyone who appreciates gardening, peace and privacy.
To the FRONT, two lawned areas frame a smart tarmac driveway, offering ample parking and access to the double garage, complete with power, lighting, and an up-and-over door.
However, it is the REAR garden that truly elevates this home to something special. Immaculately landscaped with a clear love for planting and outdoor living, the garden offers a series of defined areas, each with its own mood and use. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the patio, pottering in one of the two greenhouses, or simply sitting quietly among the mature shrubs, flowering borders, and ornamental trees, this space is a true sanctuary.
Two timber sheds offer further storage for gardening equipment, and the panoramic views of surrounding hills remind you at every turn that you are somewhere very special tucked away, yet not isolated.
Location
The village of Askerswell is small but vibrant, with a warm, welcoming community and an active local pub just a short stroll away. Tucked beneath Eggardon Hill, the setting is both peaceful and picturesque, while remaining highly accessible to nearby Bridport, Dorchester, and the spectacular Jurassic Coastline at West Bay—ideal for days out, market visits, or enjoying the local arts and food scene.
With its combination of location, lifestyle, and layout, this home is perfectly suited to those seeking a slower, more fulfilling pace of life—be it for early retirement, semi-retirement, or simply a desire to live with more space, more calm, and more connection to nature.
