Southgate, Beaminster, Dorset

A beautifully modernised period cottage with character features, and no onward chain—peaceful living on the edge of town.

Dwelling - This charming, unlisted period cottage is located on the outskirts of town and has been beautifully modernised throughout. The ground floor features two welcoming reception rooms, while upstairs offers three generously sized double bedrooms. Character features such as exposed beams and a delightful fireplace add to the property's unique appeal. Outside, there is a dedicated parking space and a small garden area beside the river—perfect for alfresco dining or simply relaxing by the water.

Internal - A stable-style door opens into a well-equipped kitchen with a range of units and a modern gas fired Rayburn, which also provides the gas central heating. The bespoke dark grey kitchen features oak worktops and an integrated electric oven with hob. In the kitchen is the dining room—a great second reception space with seating for eight, wood burning stove and recessed shelving. Through the hall, where stairs rise to the first floor, is the cosy sitting room with front aspect. Exposed beams add character without compromising head height, and a brick chimney breast houses a wood-burning stove as the room’s central feature. Upstairs, there are three well-sized double bedrooms, including a dual-aspect master with exposed beams and a window seat. Two recently updated bathrooms complete the accommodation: one with a walk-in shower, WC, and basin; the other a family bathroom with white suite including bath, basin, and WC.

External - The property includes parking for one to two cars. Beyond this, the garden extends to the edge of a river and features a well-built, sheltered seating area—perfect for alfresco dining.

This thriving community has a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, many of which are clustered around the town Square, and there are two schools, (primary and secondary). There is also an annual music festival as well as an arts festival and the surrounding countryside and superb coast, which is designated a World Heritage Site, can be accessed via a network of foot and bridle paths.
