House For Sale £380,000
A mature 3 bedroom detached bungalow in need of some improvement occupying a good-sized level plot in a private cul-de-sac on the northern fringe of Bridport
SITUATION: The property lies in a small private and quiet lane just off the Bridport to Beaminster road within a few minutes' walking distance of the Sir John Colfox School, the King's Head pub, a recreational ground, Bradpole Parish Church, village hall, an indoor bowls club and there is a bus stop close by into the town centre of Bridport.
Bridport lies some 1.5 miles to the south and is a vibrant town with twice-weekly street market, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, vintage and artists' quadrant, wealth of mainly independent shops, Electric Palace theatre/cinema and Bucky Doo Square which hosts a wide range of events and festivities all year round. The area is particularly popular for retirement and there are clubs and organisations suiting most hobby/leisure requirements including an active U3A group. The whole area is well known for its great community spirit and access to the Jurassic Coastline at West Bay where there is a harbour, beaches and gateway to the South West Coastal Paths.
THE PROPERTY comprises a detached older-style bungalow featuring stucco-rendered and colour-washed elevations under a slate roof and has period features including mainly original wooden doors and some picture rails., shaped rooms and bay windows. It has been updated through the years with an Alpha mains gas combi-boiler and double glazing, together with a substantial conservatory extending into the garden but is now in need of further mainly cosmetic improvements to bring it up to modern-day standards. The accommodation is versatile and enjoys a good degree of privacy. There is also no forward chain.
There is parking on site to the front of the property and the rear garden is well enclosed and level enjoying sunshine all day long. It has been lovingly maintained with a wealth of flower and shrub borders producing colour throughout the seasons.
DIRECTIONS: From the east roundabout on the entrance to Bridport, take the A3066 Beaminster Road and proceed for approximate 1.5 miles. Just before the Sir John Colfox School, take the left-hand turning into Banton Shard and the property will be found about half-way along on the left-hand side.
