Annings Lane, Burton Bradstock, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A fabulous 19th Century former farm cottage recently transformed into a superb family home, with three bedrooms, delightful gardens, in a tranquil setting minutes from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in a fabulous position down a single country lane, 1 Bredy Cottages is believed to date back to the early 19th Century, being one of the many estate farm cottages. Constructed of red brick under a pitched slate roof, it is immediately obvious that this property has been meticulously upgraded and looked after by the present owners since 2013, and in 2020 a single storey extension was replaced very cleverly with a fantastic two storey extension with a slightly larger footprint. The property is accessed by an attractive wooden gate with ample gravelled parking. Beautifully laid stone steps lead down to the property and the delightful gardens. When entering the house via the rear of the property, you are immediately greeted by the most superb family kitchen forming part of a fastidious programme of work by the present owners. This kitchen is quite simply 'as good as it gets,' with oak flooring and incorporating a number of attractive wooden wall and base units and a professional Rangemaster oven. There are Velux windows attracting a huge amount of natural light, and views over the gardens. There is also direct access to a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining or a morning cup of coffee. There is plenty of room for a large kitchen/breakfast table, and even a sofa at one end with a Windhager biomass stove which happily heats the kitchen on a cold winter's day. From the kitchen there is a door which leads into a perfectly proportioned TV/snug room with its own wood burning stove. To the other side of the kitchen is a larger sitting/garden room, a truly fabulous room with large sliding doors out to the terrace and gardens. This room would also make a fantastic playroom or dining room, such is the flexibility of this property. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor, and by the front door a hall with plenty of room to kick off your boots after a long country walk or a day at the beach.
The three bedrooms are situated on the first floor, including a very good sized principal bedroom with an en suite shower room and spectacular countryside and garden views. There is also a family bathroom, linen cupboard, and large loft. The property is immaculately presented throughout with a perfect blend of old and new.

OUTSIDE
To the rear of the property, the delightful garden has been lovingly nurtured and landscaped over the years with a large lawned area, two eating terraces, and much-loved kitchen garden. There are a number of productive fruit trees and bushes, including apple, pear, medlar, apricot and quince, and a separate workshop with power and Wi-Fi. All you can hear from the garden are the sounds of seagulls and running water from the stream bordering the end of the garden.
All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
