St. Michaels Lane, Bridport, Dorset

Charming Grade II Listed Cottage with Character Features, conveniently located close to Bridport town and amenities

THE PROPERTY
Steeped in charm and history, this Grade II listed one-bedroom terraced cottage with additional attic room, believed to date back to the early 19th century, lies in the heart of Bridport. Offering a unique blend of period character and modern convenience—ideal for a first-time buyer, holiday let, or cosy bolt-hole.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an open-plan living room and kitchen that showcases an array of original features, including flagstone flooring, exposed ceiling beams, a fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, and an alcove storage cupboard. The space is brightened by front and rear aspect windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The kitchen area is fitted with cream shaker-style wall and base units, slate-effect laminate worktops, a ceramic hob, integrated electric oven, and a stainless-steel sink and drainer, all complemented by classic white tiled splash backs. A traditional wooden stable door leads to the enclosed rear courtyard garden—a private and low-maintenance space perfect for alfresco dining. The garden also benefits from a brick-built storage shed with power, housing the gas boiler and providing space for laundry appliances.

An open staircase rises to the first floor, where you’ll find a spacious double bedroom with a front aspect window and a charming original feature fireplace. Opposite the bedroom is the bathroom, comprising a rear aspect window, bath with wall-mounted shower and screen, hand wash basin, and WC.
From the bedroom, a further staircase leads to the top floor attic room, a versatile space ideal as a home office, occasional bedroom, or hobby area, complete with dual-aspect dormer windows to the front and rear.
