Description

Grey Cottage, a charming 19th-century property, is nestled beside the River Asker in the rural village of Askerswell. The cottage, originally a bakery, has been sympathetically refurbished to a high standard and retains many of its original architectural features, including flagstone and timber floors, window seats, fireplaces, and a baker's oven. The property has four reception rooms on the ground floor, including a sitting room with views of the river and a garden room that looks out onto the front garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a hub of the home, with a local Blue Lias stone flagged floor, electric cooker, and central island. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, including a walk-through single bedroom that connects the two original cottages, creating a "family wing" and "guest wing." The property has a front and back garden, amounting to just under a quarter of an acre, with a pedestrian gate giving access to the village square. The cottage is situated in a thriving community with a parish church, village hall, and popular pub, and is just a 15-minute drive from several lovely beaches along the Jurassic Coast.
