A rare opportunity to purchase this beautiful Regency detached home a stroll from Bridport's town centre. This three-bedroom Grade II listed Georgian dwelling is both elegant and practical. Council tax band E.
The Property - Number 34 West Allington is a delightful Grade II listed Georgian home of elegant double fronted proportions, sitting within an enviable position level walking distance of town amenities whilst being positioned in slightly tucked away position and appreciating a parking space and a private walled garden.
This Regency dwelling dates back to 1830, and has been amended over the years to provide excellent accommodation that will suit the needs of many buyers today. The property has been lived in by the current custodian for the last 53 years, and as such has had a program of works carried out to the home over time that have enriched the property. There is ample opportunity for a buyer today to amend the property and add their own mark, although there is no necessity to do so.
Internally, the accommodation comprises; covered porch and entrance hall, drawing room with original shutters, original plaster cornice, sash windows, and beautiful feature fireplace, a study/2nd reception room or indeed an occasional downstairs fourth bedroom with original fireplace and built-in cupboards. A dining room sits to the rear of the property and gives access to a side conservatory/orangery, to the rear of which is the well appointed and modern kitchen, which was updated 10 years ago by the current owners. There is ample opportunity here to amend the configuration, subject to any relevant consents. A cellar sits below the dwelling with plenty of storage space although there is restricted head height throughout.
Upstairs, off a split-level landing and original staircase, there is a substantial bedroom with built-in storage and a sizable en-suite. These rooms were the former servant's quarters and provide excellent guest accommodation now. A few further steps lead to a family bathroom and two further bedrooms both of generous and elegant proportion with original fireplaces, the larger, having exceptional views.
Outside - The property is approached from West Allington along a drive with uninhibited rites of passage to a small and contained parking area for one vehicle, beyond which is a substantial outbuilding and store which offers additional storage on a mezzanine. This could make for an excellent workshop or studio, subject to any relevant consents. From the parking area and paved terrace, the garden leads up a few steps where there are mature beds and borders with perennials and bulbs and mature planting which then leads onto more formal level lawns and a beautiful walled garden. There is a pump in the yard connected to a rainwater reservoir
