Welcome to Beach cottage.

A little slice of Paradise

Situated just off the main thoroughfare of the northern end of Bridport's famous South street market, Beach cottage lies hidden at the end of a well worn 16th century ancient passageway that regularly bewitches and halts people in their tracks.

It is common, sometimes several times a day, for folk to just stop and gaze down the alley and comment on its unique demeanour as they view the juxtoposition of the dark passage revealing the bright and colourful explosion of flowers I've, purposely, presented in hanging baskets at its far end.

And beyond the pastel colours of said hanging baskets, an inquisitive observer is then seduced and drawn in by the vision and promise of the 150ft 1940's style garden that lies beyond.

And sure. I've been fortunate and truly blessed to even be able to experience living in such an idylic and wonderful location.

A secluded and fabulous location with an atmosphere and outlook more akin to a blissful rural retreat complete with expansive red brick store, stone outhouse, conservatory, patio, rock garden, ebike stable, greenhouse, shed,  75ft lawn, wildlife pond, Zen garden ... all contained within a magical,  partly secluded walled garden.

And the most amazing sunsets!
