House For Sale £850,000
Beautifully presented and positioned four bedroom detached house with wonderful sea views, just a walk into Bridport town and to the beach.
The house is believed to have been built in the 1980s and was substantially extended 4 years after and again 3 years after that. The result is a beautifully proportioned family-sized house that takes full advantage of its elevated position with panoramic sea views, is a walk to both the beach and the shops, has some outstanding living spaces, a sun terrace with views to die for and a workshop/garage set up that is unusually good and ripe for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. This is an unusual opportunity.
The accommodation is conventionally arranged around a spacious hallway on the ground floor and an equally light and airy landing on the first floor. The formal principal living space stretches from the front to the rear of the property making a huge living space divided into 3 parts that could be reorganised separately if so required. To the front of the house there is a study with a sitting room to the centre that has a focal point of a fireplace equipped with a coal effect gas fire to its centre, beyond which there is a formal dining room. The dining room has views to the sea, with to one side both a sliding door to the terrace and a door through to the kitchen. The kitchen is well organised into 2 spaces with a kitchen area and a dining area. The kitchen area is equipped with a comprehensive range of floor & wall mounted units and cupboards, a larder, a double electric oven, a single electric oven and an induction hob, all integrated. There is space for a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. To the other side of the kitchen there is a dining area that is also equipped with more floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with space for a large everyday dining table to its centre and a sliding door onto the terrace. Behind the kitchen there a utility room with an outside door, with plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer and space for 3 fridge freezers. Upstairs there are 4 good double bedrooms the principal of which has an ensuite shower room and takes in the views. The guest suite has its own ensuite shower room, with the two remaining bedrooms sharing a family bathroom equipped with both a shower and a bath. All the bathrooms are equipped in contemporary style, the principal ensuite shower room having a lovely vanity unit with a large ceramic wash handbasin over, with all 3 showers having electric pumps. 3 of the 4 bedrooms have extensive built-in wardrobe space. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout, has gas fired central heating, UPVC double glazing, an intruder alarm system and a water softener.
To the front of the property the gardens are enclosed by mixture of stone wall, mature hedging and timber fencing organised to be low maintenance but to give shape, colour and form throughout the year. There is an array of ornamental trees and shrubs in this area mulched with gravel that set off the house beautifully. In front of the house there is a large paved area with access to the rear garden down both sides of the house. To the rear of the property a gated entrance leads through to a substantial area of parking laid to tarmac with a formal lawn to one side edged by further herbaceous, shrub and tree planting. The garage/workshop lies underneath the house and is equipped with a side door and an up and over electrically operated door with a double garage leading through to a large work shop area. It has been suggested, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, that this could create further accommodation should it be required. To the rear of the garage area a door leads through to an undercroft equipped with light and power that makes an ideal dry storage area. The highlight of the garden however is the sun terrace that sits above the garage area with access into the kitchen and the formal dining room and which is edged by stainless steel and glass balustrading facing Southwest, providing the best place from which to enjoy the wonderful views all year round. It makes an unusually good outside entertaining area during the summer months. The vehicle access is approached along a private road for which there is a maintenance liability, but there has been no need for repairs during the current owners' tenure.
The property is situated on the Eastern edge of the town. Bridport is a bustling and vibrant market town with a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coast at nearby West Bay. It has a variety of shops, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and excellent arts and music events. It is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, golfing, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
