Lea Cottage

About this 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.

Eype is a renowned location from the ITV series Broadchurch and is situated on one of the most dramatic stretches of the Jurassic Coastline. Until you come, we'll keep it a secret which one it is. Just 3 miles from Bridport and 4 miles from West Bay, where many other Broadchurch locations can be seen, and where local fish and chips on the harbour side and ice cream on the sea front may be enjoyed, is the dog-friendly, steeply shelving Eype beach. Along with a highly sought-after antiques and collectibles market, Bridport provides all the high-street conveniences you could possibly need. Although it is the highest point in Dorset, Golden Cap is only 4 miles from Eype and is located on the South West Coast Path. Although it is the highest point, there are easy methods to get there, and the stunning, far-reaching views of the coast will be your reward.
