Courtfield Cottage is a spacious, characterful stone home set in about 0.36 acre on the edge of Shipton Gorge, only 1½ miles from Burton Bradstock and the Jurassic Coast. The house offers generous, well-presented living space (approx. 1,915 sqft) with an orangery, two principal reception rooms and flexible ground-floor space that can serve as a fourth bedroom, study or gym — useful for families or home-working professionals.
The property has been extensively modernised to a high standard: solid oak kitchen units with granite worktops, Rangemaster cooker, quality bathrooms, part underfloor heating, oak flooring and new external doors. Extensive timber outbuildings — twin garages, workshop and stores — plus a good driveway provide excellent parking and hobby/storage space. The large, landscaped gardens include terracing, decking, lawns, mature shrub beds and a fenced vegetable area backing onto open fields.
Buyers should note a few material points: drainage is handled by a private treatment system rather than mains sewers; mobile phone signal is available outdoors but not indoors; the house’s main walls are natural stone (constructed before 1900) and are assumed to have no built-in wall insulation. Council Tax is Band F, which will be a higher ongoing cost. Overall, the cottage blends period charm with recent upgrades, making it ready to occupy but with some running costs and maintenance considerations typical of older stone properties.
