A beautifully refurbished late 18th-century Grade II listed thatched cottage of local stone, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Chideock, featuring generous gardens, private parking, a garage, and just a short walk from the Jurassic Coast. EPC: D.
The Property - Set in the picturesque village of Chideock, Bridport, this charming late 18th-century Grade II listed cottage on Mill Lane is built of local stone beneath a traditional thatched roof. Originally part of Chideock Court, the cottage is steeped in history while offering all the comforts of modern living. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it enjoys an enviable position close to Seatown Beach and the renowned Anchor Inn, with the dramatic Golden Cap headland rising just beyond.
The cottage offers 1,098 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation. The ground floor is home to a generous master bedroom with French windows opening directly onto the garden. This light and spacious room is complemented by a contemporary en suite bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower — ideal for modern living and particularly well suited for those with reduced mobility.
Upstairs are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards and far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. A second bathroom completes the accommodation, while a welcoming reception room provides the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing at home.
The property has been carefully maintained and sympathetically updated. The thatch was re-ridged in 2023, and in 2025 the cottage underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, including a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, painting and decorating throughout, updated lighting, and a new circuit board. In addition, the home benefits from gas-fired central heating, with a boiler installed in 2020 (10-year warranty).
Outside, Dawn Cottage enjoys a large, established garden, with mature planting and fruit trees including two sizeable apple trees and a magnificent fig tree. The garden offers plenty of space for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in a private, peaceful setting. Please note the property is subject to a pedestrian and vehicular right of way from Mill Street to the property known as Old Post Office.
The village of Chideock is celebrated for its stunning landscape, welcoming community, and proximity to the Jurassic Coast. With Seatown Beach and the Anchor Inn just a short walk away, and the iconic Golden Cap on the doorstep, this is one of Dorset’s most desirable coastal locations.
In summary, Dawn Cottage combines historic charm with thoughtful modernisation. With its connection to Chideock Court, recently refurbished interiors, and exceptional location, it is equally suited as a comfortable family home or a tranquil coastal retreat.
