Description
Grey Cottage, a 19th-century property, is a charming family home nestled beside the River Asker in the rural village of Askerswell. Originally a bakery, the cottage has been sympathetically refurbished to a high standard and retains many of its original architectural features, including flagstone and timber floors, fireplaces, and a baker's oven. The property boasts four reception rooms on the ground floor, including a spacious sitting room and a well-lit garden room, as well as a beautiful kitchen/breakfast room with a local Blue Lias stone flagged floor. The five bedrooms are spread across two floors, including a "family wing" and a "guest wing," with the principal bedroom featuring a superbly equipped ensuite/dual access wet room. The property also has a large attic room with great potential as a second home office. The gardens, amounting to nearly a quarter of an acre, include a front and back garden, a summer house, a garden store, and a small orchard. The property is situated in a thriving community with a popular pub, a parish church, and a village hall, and is just a short drive from several lovely beaches along the Jurassic Coast and the market town of Bridport.
