House For Sale £600,000
Spacious detached four bedroom bungalow with a home office and lovely views to Colmers Hill.
The property lies in the quiet village of Bothenhampton, within easy walking distance of Bridport town centre and Bothen Hill. The property was built in the 1960s and has been substantially extended in the 1980s and again at the turn of the 21st Century. This has created some well-rounded flexible accommodation which can be used in a number of ways, with the potential to use one of the bedrooms as an Airbnb with its own outside access, and a home office at the top of the garden. This is 21st Century living at its best.
A gentle rise of steps lead up to the front door which opens into a large porch with plenty of coat hanging space and a large window looking out over the town. A door opens into a spacious kitchen diner with views over distant hills. The kitchen is equipped with a contemporary range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with granite work surfaces over, with integrated appliances including fan assisted electric oven, gas hob, microwave combination oven and dishwasher. There is space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Beyond the kitchen is a small lobby useful for coat and boot storage.
To the front of the bungalow there is a large sitting room with a log burner style gas fire and a large bay window with seating under enjoying far reaching views to Colmers Hill. Within the main body of the home there are two double bedrooms, both having built in wardrobes and a single bedroom with built in wardrobe, served by a family shower/steam room and separate family bathroom with air bath. To the right hand side a door leads through to the master bedroom with built in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, with its own outside access. This would be ideal for Airbnb purposes. In addition, the roof space has been converted into a useful occasional room currently being used as a studio with 4 Velux windows, with far reaching views over the countryside.
The property is in good decorative order throughout, with UPVC glazing, gas fired central heating and floor coverings that include engineered oak, carpet, Karndean and tiles.
In front of the bungalow is a tarmacked driveway providing parking for 2 cars and the front garden is laid to lawn with herbaceous and shrub borders. The gardens to the rear are a particular feature of this property, with a large patio area, perfect for entertaining. Stone steps lead from the patio through a medieval-style folly to a summer house beside which is timber garden shed. The main body of the garden is laid to lawn edged by mature herbaceous and shrub borders. To the right of the patio area is a path leading to a raised timber cabin at the top of the garden set back onto a large, screened decking area with views to Colmers Hill and surrounding hills. This is currently being used as a home office.
The property is situated on the Eastern edge of the vibrant market town of Bridport. Bridport has a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic, World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It has 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, with many walks starting from the town itself. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.<br/><br/>
