CHARACTER COTTAGE WITH LARGE LANDSCAPED GARDEN IN UPWEY

'Lilac Cottage' is a charming and characterful 3-bed end of terrace cottage dating back to the 1820s, situated on the outskirts of Weymouth in the picturesque suburb of Upwey. Local amenities, bus stops and a mainline train station are all within easy reach, as well as a 17th Century pub, the renowned Wishing Well Tearooms and countryside walks on the doorstep. The entrance porch of this attractive, double-fronted property leads into a cosy but spacious lounge. The owners have created a charming window seat within the bay window to the front, and the focal point of the room is the log burner with brick fireplace surround perfect for those winter evenings. Part glazed timber double doors open into a light-filled country-style kitchen with timber worktops and tiled floors. Floating shelves and a tiled backsplash complete the look, along with a tall storage cupboard and space for free-standing appliances. The downstairs toilet features a Belfast sink along with shaker-style storage cupboards that house a freezer and a washing machine to double as a useful utility space. A glazed sunroom featuring a roof lantern sits at the rear of the cottage, providing a light-filled space with an indoor/outdoor feel. French doors open to the garden and the space is heated so can be enjoyed all year round. The upstairs landing leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom. The primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with timber beam plus tall bay window with wooden shutters overlooking the rear garden, combining to create a wow-factor. The other two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is a modern, fully tiled, spa-like space with a lightwell bringing in natural light. There's a walk-in shower at one end, with a toilet, towel radiator and attractive vanity unit. The cottage sits on a large plot with on-road parking to the front along with an attractive stone boundary wall and quaint patio area to the right of the porch. The rear garden has been landscaped using architectural sleepers and Indian Sandstone to create a series of useable tiered spaces. Mature planting offers great screening to provide a sense of privacy. A large shed at the bottom of the garden is used as an office space. There is side access plus a right of way through to the neighbours' gardens, although the vendors inform us that this is not used. The present owners have lovingly renovated and sympathetically restored the property throughout.
