House For Sale £750,000
Detached four bedroom house with huge potential set in a large garden, within a short walk of one Dorset's best loved beaches, Hive Beach.
The sale of this property is an unusual opportunity to own a property within a minute's walk of one Dorset’s best loved beaches, Hive Beach. The house is believed to have been built in the 1950s with rendered elevations under a tiled roof and has, over the years, been substantially extended to create some spacious well rounded accommodation complete with a large garden extending to over a quarter of an acre. What makes this property special is both its position and also its potential for both enlargement and reorganisation.
The property is particularly spacious on the ground floor with the main living spaces wrapped around a good sized hallway. The accommodation flows with, to the front of the house, a family room which in turn gives way to a beautifully proportioned sitting/dining room, behind which there is a kitchen and a utility room. Beyond the utility room there is a substantial garage, behind which is the principal bedroom with a en suite shower room. It has been suggested that these spaces could, subject to obtain the necessary building consents, amongst other things be rearranged to create a kitchen/living/dining room stretching all the way across the back of the property. Both the family room and the sitting/dining room have open fireplaces, while the sitting/dining room and principal bedroom have sliding doors out onto the terrace and garden behind. The kitchen is equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards and space for an everyday dining table to its centre and the utility room has a number of useful cupboards. Upstairs there are three good bedrooms, one of which is currently organized as a dressing room with extensive built-in wardrobes, a dressing table and two drawer units. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. In addition downstairs there is a cloakroom off the hallway. The property has gas fired central heating and is double glazed.
Agent’s Note: It should be noted that there is a planning application currently under consideration to create a detached 3/4 bedroom property in the part of the garden to the South of Hoofprints, which will be decided later this year.
To the front of the property there is a driveway laid to tarmac providing parking and turning for a number of cars, with access to the garage via an up and over door. The gardens to the front are laid to lawn edged by a number of attractive ornamental trees. To the rear of the property there is a lovely garden with an extensive area of paved terrace immediately to the rear which makes an ideal entertaining area during the Summer months, with one side a brick and timber Pergola. From the terrace steps lead up to the main body of the garden that to it centre is laid to lawn, with an herbaceous and shrub border running down the left-hand side. Beyond the herbaceous border there is a sunken level of paved terrace edged by further herbaceous shrub planting. To the very rear of the garden there is a further less formal area of lawn with a composting area to one corner and further herbaceous and shrub planting.
The village of Burton Bradstock is considered to be one of the most attractive villages in West Dorset, and consists largely of period stone and thatched cottages. The village has a primary school, church, shops, post office, several pubs and cafés, library, children’s park and a late-night garage/shop. The beach and coastal path are just a short walk away. Nearby Bridport is a bustling market town, with a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and excellent arts and music events. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. There is a good choice of schooling in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester and, Axminster.<br/><br/>
