"A Grade II Listed character cottage offering two bedroom accommodation with first floor bathroom and ground floor w.c./utility room and a lovely part-walled garden to the rear. The property forms part of a small terrace called Reform Place set back slightly from the road at North Allington, just half a mile from the centre of Bridport. On the ground floor is a good sized sitting room with wood burning stove, which leads through to the attractively fitted kitchen/dining room and beyond this lies the utility room and w.c.. On the first floor are two good bedrooms and bathroom fitted with a white suite and has been recently re-tiled. The property has the added bonus of a good size, enclosed rear garden with a lovely high wall to the north side. The garden is not interrupted by the usual right of way thoroughfare but benefits from a pathway across neighbouring properties providing rear access. There is gas central heating to radiators throughout the house. Bridport is a thriving market town situated by the River Brit and in an area designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are twice weekly markets and the town offers a good range of shops, schools and recreational facilities. The beach and harbour at West Bay is approx. 2 miles away and mainline train stations to London can be found at Dorchester or Axminster.
