A beautiful period six-bed home with walled gardens in the heart of a coastal village is on the market.
Stags estate agents is offering Girt House in Burton Bradstock for a guide price of £1.2million.
It is arguably one of the best houses of its type in the village and is a period detached Queen Anne house with beautiful large walled gardens.
The house is very historic, understood to date back to the 15th century and is Grade II Listed. It is principally built of natural stone with a red brick façade, put on in around 1710.
Under the current long ownership, a whole number of improvements have been undertaken, although the house would now benefit from general updating and refurbishment, with great scope for rearranging the accommodation.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with lovely views of the village, church and surrounding countryside.
A number of character features typical of its age and type have been retained, including a fanlight above the front door, high ceilings, panelled doors, sash windows, picture rails, china cabinets and a porthole window.
On the ground floor is the reception hall, a bathroom/cloakroom, living room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, lobby, pantry, boiler/utility room, as well as a store/book room, which is accessed externally.
On the first floor there is a landing with walk in airing cupboard, two large front bedrooms, a third back bedroom and a fourth bedroom/sewing/dressing room.
Two additional large bedrooms can be found on the second floor.
Outside there is a small parking area to the front leading to an attached double ended double garage.
The main gardens lie to the rear, are fully enclosed, stone walled and have a very sunny west facing aspect. The gardens are level and stocked with a variety of shrubs, trees, palm tree and a summer house.
Through a stone archway is a second garden and orchard with a small vegetable patch, large stone store and double wooden vehicular gates giving access from Charles Road.
For all enquiries and to arrange a viewing, call Stags on 01308 428000.
