Description
Charming two bedroom character cottage with secure parking and a lovely garden in need of modernisation and refurbishment
The Property - Georgies is likely to have been built in the 19th century and is one of a pair of semi detached properties built specifically to take in some lovely views over the surrounding countryside towards Golden Cap and the sea. The cottage has all the character one would expect of a property of this age but is now in need of refurbishment and restoration to bring it firmly into the 21st century. However, once works have been completed it's proximity to the National Trust Golden Cap Estate and the sea coupled with its charming garden and plentiful parking will make that investment well worthwhile.
The accommodation is simply laid out with a spacious kitchen / dining room to one end of the property with the dining area having the focal point of a fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove and a kitchen area fully fitted with handmade units and cupboards. At the other end of the cottage there is a sitting room with the second fireplace as its focal point beyond which doors lead through to an oak framed conservatory. Upstairs there are two good bedrooms served by a bathroom with a shower over the bath. The property is double glazed, has private drainage and a solar thermal hot water system but no central heating system.
Outside - The gardens are a particular feature of the property and can be divided into a number of different areas. Adjacent to the house there is a paved area with a summer house to one side which looks over a well stocked herbaceous border onto a formal area of lawn enclosed by mature hedging. A pathway leads down to a second paved area which makes an ideal entertaining area during the summer months and also looks out over the formal lawn. The path leads on to both a vegetable patch and a hard stand which provides parking for a number of cars and is accessed by the lane beside through a substantial gate that makes it secure. From the gardens, lovely views can be enjoyed over local countryside towards Golden Cap and the sea
