THE PROPERTY
Cornerstone Cottage is a charming and thoughtfully updated Grade II listed home tucked away in the centre of Bridport. Offering characterful accommodation over three floors, private off-road parking, a sheltered garden, and a flexible outbuilding, the property places you only moments from the town’s shops, cafés, markets, and amenities.
Ground Floor
The cottage is entered through a small porch, which leads into a bright and welcoming living/dining room. With windows at both the front and rear, the space enjoys excellent natural light, and the impressive inglenook fireplace, complete with a Jotul™ gas stove and exposed timber beam, adds warmth and character. A ground-floor W.C. is accessed from this room. To the rear is the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a good range of units and integrated appliances including an electric double oven, gas hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washing machine. There is space for a breakfast table, and dual-aspect windows make it an enjoyable place throughout the day. A utility cupboard houses the boiler, and a pull-down ladder leads to additional loft storage above the kitchen.
First Floor
The main bedroom occupies the first floor and is a generous double with windows to both sides, built-in storage, wooden flooring, and period features that reflect the cottage’s history. Also on this level is the shower room, finished with a walk-in shower, basin, W.C., towel rail, and practical vinyl flooring.
Second Floor
A further staircase leads to a naturally light attic room, ideal as a study, studio, or creative workspace. From the top of the stairs, there are attractive views across parts of the town and the surrounding countryside. Beyond this is the second bedroom, a cosy and versatile room suitable for guests, children, or an additional workspace.
OUTSIDE
At the front of the property, a gravelled area provides off-road parking for several vehicles — a rare advantage so close to the town centre. A wooden gate opens into the private garden, designed for low maintenance with decorative stone, established shrubs, fruit trees, and raised planters. It offers a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. A standout feature of the garden is the stone boundary wall, which contains fossilised ammonites — a distinctive reminder of the area’s Jurassic heritage. Set within the garden is a detached stone outbuilding, currently arranged as a workshop. With power connected, it offers excellent scope to be used as a studio, office, gym, or hobby room. A gate leads directly onto Folly Mill Lane for convenient pedestrian access to town.
SERVICES
Mains drainage, electricity & gas. Gas central heating.
SITUATION

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
