Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a conservation area, Chervil Cottage is a Grade II listed stone home that offers timeless character and village living. The house balances original features—stone walls, wooden ceilings and a log-burning stove—with a practical open-plan kitchen/diner and a west-facing garden that catches afternoon sun. Its location is excellent for families who value coastal walks, nearby Seatown beach and easy access to Bridport’s amenities.
The interior is compact and characterful: three bedrooms are served by a generous shower room, and built-in storage in the principal bedroom helps maximise space. A useful outbuilding provides a utility room with WC and further storage, while private off-street parking adds convenience in the village setting. Broadband is available as superfast and mobile signal is excellent for most providers.
Buyers should note the property’s material considerations. As a Grade II listed cottage with exposed sandstone/limestone walls and assumed no cavity insulation, thermal performance is limited; the current EPC is F. Secondary glazing and a gas boiler provide heat, but upgrades would be needed to improve efficiency and to meet modern rental standards. There is also a flying freehold which may complicate some transactions.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character and location over turnkey modernity. It’s ideal as a family pied-à-terre, a countryside home with scope for sympathetic improvements, or a holiday base close to the coast. Those prioritising low-maintenance, high-efficiency homes or immediate lettings should factor in the listed constraints and EPC rating before viewing.
