Outside
Occupying approximately ONE THIRD ACRE PLOT it is a particularly attractive setting, surrounded by open countryside and enjoying far-reaching rural views. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of inviting spaces, including lawns, terraces and a charming pond with waterfall (remotely controlled) on the patio. Mature planting includes a beautiful camellia, fruit trees and a distinctive tree which has been cloud-pruned. Stone benches provide a quiet spot from which to pause for a moment and a SUMMER HOUSE is the perfect retreat to enjoy views across the valley.
The garden is also fully stock-proofed, making it secure for dogs, and there is also a log store and a number of practical features such as outside power points, taps and solar lighting within the courtyard.
A detached DOUBLE GARAGE with automatic doors provides excellent storage, plumbing for additional washing machine and parking, with a SEPARATE ENTRANCE to the side: currently arranged as a tack room, it has stairs rising to the first floor leading to a large OFFICE or studio, plus Guest W.C. This was previously registered as a separate dwelling and could potentially be reinstated, subject to any necessary approvals.
Location
The sought-after village of Askerswell has a strong sense of community and lies tucked within the rolling West Dorset countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for its unspoilt landscapes and excellent walking. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the village is conveniently near the A35, providing straightforward access along the Jurassic Coast and to the nearby market town of Bridport and county town of Dorchester.
Bridport, approximately four miles away, offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and a popular weekly market, along with a range of everyday amenities. The harbour and beaches at West Bay are also close by, providing access to the dramatic coastline for which this part of Dorset is so well known.
Within easy reach of the house is The Spyway Inn, a much-loved country pub set high on the surrounding hills and known for its welcoming atmosphere and far-reaching views. The area also offers excellent access to the wider Dorset countryside, with numerous footpaths and bridleways nearby.
