Set in a peaceful Watton location between Bridport and Westbay, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers genuine countryside living with easy access to harbourside amenities. The cottage-style living room with a wood-burning stove and French doors opens to a large, mainly lawned garden and paved patio — ideal for quiet outdoor living or entertaining. Upstairs both double bedrooms and the bathroom enjoy wide rural views, with distant glimpses towards Westbay.
The property sits on a very large plot (owner states nearly a third of an acre) and includes a double garage/annexe above. That space provides flexible options: guest or home-office accommodation, holiday-let income, or potential subject-to-planning for an additional dwelling. The house’s period character, arched alcoves and built-in shelving give a warm, traditional feel suited to buyers seeking a countryside cottage base or a downsizer wanting manageable accommodation with outdoor scope.
Be aware of a few practical limitations: the home appears to have cavity walls with no insulation (assumed), and the main fuel includes wood logs with heating from a boiler and radiators — this points to likely higher running costs and potential upgrade work to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported slow, which may affect home working unless upgraded. There is a single bathroom serving two double bedrooms.
Overall this is a characterful, well-sited property offering substantial outdoor space and flexible ancillary accommodation. It will suit buyers looking for rural tranquillity near Westbay and Bridport, holiday-home buyers seeking lettable potential, or downsizers wanting period charm with room for projects and improvements.
