CHARACTERFUL STONE-FRONTED COTTAGE ARRANGED OVER THREE FLOORS WITH GENEROUS LIVING SPACE AND LARGE GARDEN

Characterful stone-fronted cottage in a popular residential location on the outskirts of Weymouth, in reach of amenities, bus routes and a mainline train station. Set back from the road, this beautiful home is arranged over three floors and features exposed stone, sash windows and attractive fireplaces. The inviting front garden has been paved with a border of shrubs and small trees, leading to a tiled entrance porch convenient for coats and shoes. The lounge establishes that sought-after cottage aesthetic, featuring a timber sash window, timber floors and log burner with exposed brick surround. Built-in shelving/storage either side of the fireplace adds to the charm. This space opens to a dining room with the timber flooring continuing throughout, built-in shelving and a reading nook. Stepping up from the dining room and through the exposed stone entranceway leads to an impressive single-storey extension housing the kitchen with a downstairs WC discreetly tucked in one corner. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and a large rooflight flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen features timber worktops with a small breakfast bar, ample above and under counter storage, a range cooker and subway tiles as a backsplash. An attractive sash window provides a view to the garden from the sink and the tiled flooring leads to French doors opening onto an initial patio area with the garden beyond. The primary bedroom is located on the first floor and features a sash window to the front, feature cast-iron fireplace and built-in storage, plus room for additional bedroom furniture. Next to the primary bedroom is a large family bathroom with tiled flooring, featuring a free-standing roll-top bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and toilet, plus under-stair storage and an obscured sash window to the rear. There are two more double bedrooms on the top floor, both with sash windows. Bedroom 2 is of a particularly good size with timber beams overhead and shelving built around the chimney breast. To the rear, steps lead from the patio area to the long, elevated garden that is mostly laid to lawn, with a raised seating area at the top to make the most of the late afternoon/evening sun. An attractive low-level stone retaining wall divides the seating from the lawn and one of the stones is engraved with a date, indicating the age of the cottage. This charming property benefits from gas central heating with a mixture of double and single glazing throughout.
