5 bed detached house for sale

Broadoak, Bridport DT6

Charming detached Grade II Listed five bedroom house in a rural location in need of complete refurbishment.

The Property

This property started life as a two bedroom period cottage probably built in the 18th century. In the 20th century, the property was substantially enlarged to create a large detached property that takes full advantage of its rural position deep in the heart of the Dorset countryside. The property is in need of complete refurbishment but will make a tremendous family house once those works have been completed.

The accommodation briefly consists of two generously proportioned reception rooms either side of a kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor, with five bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor. Character features include timbered ceilings, window seats, an inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven and a thatched roof. Two thirds of the property are double glazed - the extended parts - with the remaining third being equipped with traditional fenestration. The property has electric heating and septic tank drainage.

Outside

On the west side of the property there is a courtyard with steps up to a garage and parking beyond. On the east side of the house, the garden stretches quite a way down to the next cottage and is for the most part laid to lawn punctuated by some mature trees. Within the garden there is a well, an ornamental pond, a hard-standing for a shed and the septic tank drainage.
