Gemini Cottage

This handsome cottage is located in the small village of Uploders and has a traditional exterior arising from the beautiful honey-coloured hamstone used in construction, sourced from neighbouring Somerset. Uploders is within easy driving distance of the Iron Age hill fort of Eggardon hill (2 miles) and Bridport is only a 3 mile drive away with its bustling shopping area and quirky markets. The River Asker runs through the village and is just the place for peaceful river bank walks. Or take a trip to West Bay, made famous by the BBC series Broadchurch and admire the expansive beach and stunning cliffs that line it. With great routes for walking and cycling leading directly from the property, there is something here for everyone.

The property is accessed up three steps through the entrance hall into the open-plan kitchen/dining room which has a pretty window seat and a useful pantry for storing shopping items. Across the hall is the dual aspect sitting room which has an additional window seat, as well as a feature fireplace with electric effect wood burner fire giving warmth and a cosy feel to the room. The comfortable furniture continues this theme and lends itself easily to evenings curled up watching a favourite show or reading a good book. There is also a contemporary shower room on the ground floor. The upstairs of the property has slightly reduced height in the eaves and offers three bedrooms, all with original beams. The first bedroom is spacious and has a king-size bed, there is a light and airy twin room and a further twin room with one raised bed. Completing the first floor is the contemporary style bathroom with a shower over the bath. 

The cottage is located off the village lane so does not have a front garden, however, the enclosed rear garden more than makes up for this, with extensive views of the local countryside and Eggardon hill in the distance. There is a well-appointed terrace with plants, outdoor furniture and a BBQ for outside living. There is a further terrace leading up to a sloping wild meadow garden to experience nature up close.
