Inside

Welcome to this delightful home in the ever-popular village of Upwey, famed for its period cottages, and riverside setting. Such is the stuff of ‘chocolate box’ cottages, this one certainly fits the bill! Its winding pathway bordered by colour planting leads to the front door and its rear garden provides the most enchanting setting.

Designed by a local architect in 1938, the cottage is built of Portland stone and its accommodation has larger windows associated with the period giving it a sense of space and light. The HALLWAY provides a roomy reception area, with useful understairs storage. A ledged cottage-style door leads into the SITTING ROOM, a bright, sunny room enjoying a double aspect predominantly overlooking the front garden. The adjacent KITCHEN has a range of modern units, providing plentiful storage. Integrated appliances include an eye-level oven, washing machine and fridge. The room links beautifully with the DINING ROOM, with an archway between making this an especially sociable space. There is also a walk-in LARDER opposite the entrance to the kitchen which makes for an excellent storage area. To the rear of the cottage lies BEDROOM THREE/STUDY a room which could be equally useful for either function.

From the hallway, stairs rise to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING which accesses two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is an impressive double room enjoying countryside views towards Weymouth. The room also benefits from a wall of wardrobes. BEDROOM TWO is another, fine, double room with lovely views over the rear garden. The BATHROOM is well presented, and provides a bath with shower over, W.C., and hand-wash basin.

Outside

In total the whole plot measures approximately 0.172 acre. To the front of the property is a driveway offering PARKING for two cars. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a path leading up to the front door. Well planted borders, shrubberies and mature climbing rose add colourful interest. The private rear garden is an absolute delight. This leafy retreat is a typical cottage garden - somewhat whimsical, with a romantic jumble of flowering shrubs and climbers and enjoying an air of tranquillity. A SUMMER HOUSE provides the perfect option for summer dining and there is also a GREENHOUSE at the rear with an opportunity for a vegetable garden.

Location

Upwey is one of Dorset’s prettiest, most unspoilt villages within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the valley of the Dorset Ridgeway. The River Wey meanders gently through this picturesque village, most well-known for the romantic setting of Upwey Wishing Well at The Spring Head, a favourite place of King George III. Whilst enjoying ‘village living’, it is also a practical location within close proximity of the wide-ranging facilities of the seaside resort of Weymouth and the county town of Dorchester (four miles in either direction). Weymouth, Dorchester and Upwey itself all have stations on the main line to London Waterloo. There is also a regular bus service locally, and a popular public house, ‘The Old Ship Inn’.
