Myrtle Cottage is a three-bedroom period home set within extensive split-level gardens, tucked in the rural Fernhill area between Charmouth and Lyme Regis. The property offers genuine character—fireplaces, timber features and a traditional layout—alongside practical benefits such as a private gated driveway and generous off-road parking.
The accommodation is flexible: a ground-floor bedroom, lounge, dining room and a sizeable kitchen, with two further bedrooms upstairs. The plot is a key asset, with mature planting, patios, lawn areas and a timber shed that create privacy and scope for landscaping or extension subject to consents.
Buyers should note material facts plainly. The property has a mix of older single-glazed wooden windows noted in the room descriptions and glazing records indicate double glazing was installed before 2002, so windows may need upgrading for comfort and efficiency. The stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and internal heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators; improvement works could reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are slow here despite excellent mobile signal.
Practical considerations: there is one bathroom, the kitchen and some internal fittings are dated, and the title is understood not to be registered at Land Registry (your conveyancer will advise). For buyers seeking a character home with substantial outside space and scope to improve, this offers good value in a peaceful rural location close to the Jurassic Coast.
