3 bed detached house for sale

Mill Lane, Chideock, Bridport DT6

Beautiful period property located in the coastal village of Chideock, only a short walk to local amenities and the beach.

The Property

Tucked away on Mill Lane in the sought-after village of Chideock, Dawn Cottage is a characterful late 18th-century home constructed from local stone and crowned by a traditional thatched roof. The cottage forms part of the historic fabric of the village and was originally associated with Chideock Court.

The property successfully combines its period character with a high standard of modern comfort. During 2025, the cottage was comprehensively updated, including the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, replacement flooring, redecoration throughout, upgraded lighting and a new circuit board. The thatch was re-ridged in 2023, while gas-fired central heating is provided by a boiler installed in 2020 and covered by a 10-year warranty.

Extending to approximately 1,098 sq ft, the accommodation is particularly versatile. The ground floor includes an impressive principal bedroom with French doors opening onto the garden, together with a contemporary en suite bathroom incorporating a generous walk-in shower. This arrangement offers an excellent degree of accessibility and could appeal particularly to those seeking bedroom accommodation on the ground floor.

Two additional bedrooms are found on the first floor, each benefiting from built-in storage and attractive long-distance views. A further bathroom and a comfortable dining room and sitting room complete the accommodation. Downstairs there is a reception room with french doors leading to a patio.

Throughout, the cottage retains the warmth and character expected of a historic Dorset home, whilst the recent refurbishment means much of the work associated with updating a period property has already been undertaken.
