2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Marshwood, Bridport DT6

For sale by Public Auction and via Livestream on Friday 20th November at 2pm. Charming Grade II listed cottage in need of modernisation, with a substantial garage/outbuilding.

The Property

Merlins is a handsome semi-detached cottage, built in the early 19th century or possibly earlier, with painted brick elevations under a slate roof. The property is in need of complete refurbishment and modernisation and lies on the west side of the Marshwood Vale in a lovely edge of village location, with its own parking, a substantial outbuilding and attractive gardens.

Briefly, the accommodation consists of a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room centred around an open fireplace, a substantial garden room, a back hall/dog and boot room and a bathroom on the ground floor, and two bedrooms and WC on the first floor. The property has oil fired central heating, mains water and private drainage.

Outside

To the front of the property, immediately in front of the cottage, there is a gated parking area laid to brick that leads up to a garage that is attached to a stone barn. Beyond the parking area there is an enclosed garden that is for the most part laid to lawn and punctuated by a number of high yielding mature fruit trees, and a fruit cage to one corner. To the rear of the property there is a square garden enclosed by a mixture of hedge and timber fencing that is also laid to lawn, with a greenhouse in one corner.

Situation

The property is set in the heart of the village of Marshwood which has a garage in the centre and a church, primary school and public house on the outskirts. The towns of Axminster, Lyme Regis and Bridport are easily accessible. Bridport is a bustling market town with a history of rope making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It also has a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes. There are excellent arts and music events and the famous “hat festival”. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster and Honiton to the west. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline railway stations at Axminster, Crewkerne, Maiden Newton and Dorchester.
