The property
Tucked away in the idyllic village of Eype, Dorset, is this picture postcard cottage, Lea Cottage. Enjoying a superb location within the Dorset AONB, just moments away from the beach and local amenities, Lea Cottage is a fantastic family-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four, plus their canine companion. The property benefits from two off-road parking spaces in a nearby car park, and a lovely rear, enclosed garden where you can enjoy meals alfresco. Step into the open-plan living space where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table for four over a bottle of wine, before retiring to the plush seating to relax in front of the woodburning stove as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. Head upstairs, where you can freshen up with your choice of bath or shower in the well-appointed bathroom, before retreating to one two tastefully-decorated bedrooms, a king-size and a bunk, to catch up on some much-needed rest. Explore the village, famous for its feature in the hit ITV series of Broadchurch, where you will find the welcoming pubs and restaurants of The New Inn, Eype’s Mouth, and Martin’s Bar and Restaurant, a well-stocked supermarket, a delightful café, the excellent Shepher’s Down Pitch ‘n’ Putt Course, close proximity to the renowned South West Coast Path, and the golden sands of Eype Beach. Nearby, you will find Bridport, where you can dine at The Oddfellows Arms, Hope & Anchor, and Soulshine, attend the popular Jurassic Fields Music Festival in July, catch a film or live band at the Bridport Electric Palace, spot the local wildlife in the nearby Bothenhampton Nature Reserve, or hike along the stunning Jurassic Cliffs. Further afield, you’ll find Lyme Regis, home to the Lyme Regis Museum, Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, or enjoy a spot of fine dining at the Michelin Star restaurants of Lilac, Robin Wylde, and The Oyster & Fish House. All this and more awaits at Lea Cottage.
