Barges Close, Litton Cheney

Beautifully crafted Georgian style four bedroom detached newbuild house with lovely views over the Bride Valley.

The Dwelling - This property really does have it all! Constructed by well-known local builder C G Fry & Son built of traditional stone and slate with beautifully crafted oak joinery throughout, this house has the look of a traditional Dorset farmhouse and the heart of a contemporary 21st century new build with all the costs saving and maintenance advantages that it offers. Add a lovely village location and wonderful far-reaching views over the Bride Valley, a short drive into Bridport town and you have a very rare beast indeed.

Accommodation - The house is conventionally arranged around a spacious hallway on the ground floor with a lovely oak staircase that winds its way up to an equally spacious landing above. The house is southerly facing with the daytime hub of the house being a large kitchen with a huge array of integral appliances that flows through concealed doors into the adjoining dining room with each room having bifold doors leading out onto the terrace and gardens behind.

The other end of the house there is a spacious drawing room centred on a stone fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove with one side a study. In addition downstairs there is a cloakroom and a utility room that has a door to an outside courtyard. The downstairs is equipped with underfloor heating and is for the most part laid to attractive/practical tiled floor with the exception of the sitting room and the study, providing continuity.

Upstairs there are four good bedrooms with the principal bedroom having a dressing room, and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a double sized shower, bath and twin handbasins. Two of the other bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms with the fourth bedroom making use of a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and a shower.

To the rear of the property there is a substantial area of paved terrace enclosed by wrought iron fencing with access from the kitchen and the dining room through bifold doors that makes an unusually a good entertaining area during the summer months taking in the views across the Bride Valley. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house, predominantly on the southside, and are at present a blank canvas laid to lawn enclosed by quality timber fencing.
