Description
Period stone house located on St. Andrews Road in one of the town's most desirable addresses Council tax band A. Grade II listed.
The Property - Bridport is home to many delightful character cottages but there are arguably few who are as best and advantageously situated as Five Mice House. Five Mice House stands slightly elevated above street level, in one of the town's most desirable addresses, just a short walk from the town centre and is blessed with views to the front aspect across the neighbouring rooftops to the green hills beyond.
Believed to date back to the early 1800s, the property is grade 2 listed, with a charming stone frontage and lovely features such as a former fireplace (with flue for wood burner), cottage doors, window seat, unique landing window and period cupboards. The cottage has been sympathetically updated over the years to create a comfortable and convenient home with modern, yet complimentary, fixtures and fittings including bespoke replacement windows.
The accommodation comprises living/dining room, fitted kitchen with gas hob and electric oven, double bedroom and a large bathroom. Beautifully proportioned throughout with generous room sizes, making this a superb permanent or second home, or an attractive option for long and short term lettings.
Holiday Letting History - The current owner has been successfully letting out the cottage for holiday lettings, generating a very good revenue. The property is available with forward bookings and contents by separate negotiation, alternatively, vacant possession is available.
Outside - The property benefits from front and rear courtyard style gardens which require little in the way of maintenance. The rear door from the kitchen opens to a small courtyard bordered by raised bed, owned and tended by the neighbouring property. To the front is a delightful paved terrace which benefits from a sunny southeast facing aspect.
Situation - St Andrews Road is positioned within a conservation area close to vibrant Bridport town centre, with its twice weekly market, a host of interesting shops, restaurants/cafes and businesses and the World Heritage Site Jurassic Coast just a short drive away. The town is popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Further afield, the county town of Dorchester.
