It is a tranquil & heavenly escape from the bustle of daily life. Quarryman’s Cottage is a beautiful (renovated in 2019) one bedroom cottage which was believed to have been built in the mid 1800’s. Sitting over 600 feet above sea level, it has the most stunning far reaching views of Lyme Bay, Lyme Regis, Stonebarrow Hill and Charmouth. Designed as an upside down house, the cottage makes the most of those views with a 20 Sq. meter roof terrace in one direction and a semi paved terrace in the other both accessed from the kitchen/ living area. It has been thoughtfully designed to create a light and airy property with large window’s in all rooms and French doors also opening out from the bedroom. It is south west facing, guaranteeing you sun all day and the most wonderful sunsets all year round. Modern rustic in design the cottage is furnished with an eclectic mix of old and new. Beautiful vintage wood furniture found from local markets in Bridport. Ercol straight back dining chairs sit beside an antique pine table, an old headmasters book cupboard has been loving restored to create a pantry cupboard and a stunning old Teak ships door, found by one of the owners, on Sanna beach in the Scottish Highlands over 35 years ago adorns the wall. Reclaimed pine joists create the floor in the bedroom and upstairs you will find the original pine boards lovingly restored by hand by the owners. An oak and powder coated steel spiral staircase from Italy takes you between floors. The kitchen is fully kitted out to a high specification with a dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob, electric oven and a Belfast sink hidden behind an oak worktop allowing for extra worktop space. It has everything you need to create fabulous home cooked meals if you opt to eat in. The living area has a two seater sofa, a beautiful Charnwood wood-burner, a large window seat, a smart TV with built in DVD player and a bluetooth speaker to listen to music, everything you need to cosy up on those cold winter nights. The bedroom has a kingsize solid wood bed, hotel quality Egyptian cotton sheets and towels, two vintage Elm chairs for bedside tables, a large antique pine trunk, chest of drawers and a window seat with cushions and blankets. The large ensuite bathroom has been fitted to a very high standard. A stunning luxury ‘double’ shower with far reaching views of Lyme Bay and Charmouth, a freestanding bath sits across the corner of the room under both windows allowing for a spot of stargazing, the freestanding sink sits upon a piece of reclaimed sycamore and the lighting hints at a nautical theme with stylish bulkheads, one of which which can also be dimmed allowing for ‘mood lighting’ whilst taking a bath. The garden comprises of various different area’s; The paved terrace on the top level accessed from a path as well as the kitchen is surrounded by a variety of tree’s and is a great sun trap in the morning and more shaded later in the day. The woodland area under two large Oaks tree’s is perfect for lazy afternoons in the shade reading.
