An attractive semi-detached period cottage with wonderful sea and country views in the highly sought after village of Charmouth. Council Tax Band D, EPC Band E, Freehold.
THE PROPERTY
Lee Cottage is an attractive, semi-detached, period cottage occupying a superb elevated and peaceful setting with wonderful sea and coastal views in the highly sought after village of Charmouth. It is believed to date back to the late 1800s with colour-washed rendered elevations under a clay tiled roof. Over the years a whole number of improvements have been undertaken.
The well presented accommodation benefits from a south-facing rear aspect with excellent sea views, as well as views over to Stonebarrow and Golden Cap beyond, over the village and the surrounding countryside and hills. Character style features include panelled cottage style doors, vaulted beamed ceiling to the main bedroom, open fireplaces and terracotta tiled flooring to the kitchen/breakfast room, utility and bathroom.
The property offers modern amenities including gas-fired central heating with an updated boiler, uPVC windows and doors, gas Aga, modern bathroom with mains shower and a modern washroom
The accommodation extends to:
Ground floor Entrance hall porch, living room with open fireplace and French doors, sitting room, inner lobby, kitchen/dining room, utility, bathroom.
First floor 3 Double bedrooms, washroom.
There is also the added benefit of a modern detached garage with office/playroom over, offering conversion potential subject to planning (plans have been drawn up for conversion/enlargement to provide ground floor hall, bedroom/dressing room and en-suite shower room, first floor open plan living room/kitchen, off-road parking and small outside space).

SITUATION
Lee Cottage occupies an elevated setting in a peaceful lane, yet within easy reach of the village centre, the South West Coast Footpath, open countryside and the blue flag beach.

It offers excellent amenities including a newsagent, 2 general stores, bakery, hairdresser, chemist, doctors surgery, library, hotels, restaurants and inns plus regular bus services. There is also a very popular primary school and the village is within the catchment area of the excellent Woodroffe Senior School.
