House For Sale £550,000
Detached four bedroom bungalow in need of modernisation, with panoramic country views
The property occupies an elevated position, has a wealth of accommodation and although in working order is now in need of refurbishment. Its elevated position affords it some wonderful far-reaching views over the rolling Dorset countryside that surrounds the property into the Marshwood Vale and towards Charmouth and Lyme Regis. The accommodation is unusually spacious and is oriented towards the views that look South and West, further enhancing the feeling of light and space within the property. The property is in working order with oil fired central heating, two shower rooms, a working kitchen and UPVC double glazing, but will in the next few years need some updating.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the principal living area stretching across the rear of the property taking in the best of the views, with a sitting area to one end with a fireplace as its focal point to one end and dining area to the other, which has a sliding door through to the conservatory, laid to a ceramic tiled floor. To the front of the property there is a well equipped kitchen complete with electric double oven and lpg hob, with space for a dishwasher, a fridge freezer and an everyday dining table. Beyond the kitchen there is a large utility room with a door out onto the garden at one end and a door into the garage to the other, with to one corner a cloakroom. On the ground floor there are two good bedrooms served by a shower room with two further bedrooms on the first floor sharing a second shower room. Each of the bedrooms has built-in wardrobe space. The property has private septic tank drainage.
Agent’s Note: A professional inspection of the septic tank has been carried out and we are advised that it will need replacing with a treatment plant at an estimated cost of £21,000 plus VAT.
To the front of the house there is a large area of driveway laid to tarmac providing turning and parking for a number of cars and to one side access to the garage. Running along the Southwest side of the property there is a paved terrace that makes an unusually good entertaining area during the Summer months, below which the gardens stretch out becoming less formal the further from the property one goes. The garden can be divided into two areas, with a formal lawn immediately below the main terrace edged by mature herbaceous planting leading through to a more-wild area that has a number fruit trees and has in past times been a vegetable garden.
The property lies in the village of Morcombelake, which has a well stocked farm shop. The sea is accessible at Chideock and Charmouth, with walking along the coast path. The market town of Bridport lies approximately 4 miles to the East. 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 andexcellent 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. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton and Axminster. Charmouth and Lyme Regis are also just a short motoring distance away.
