2 bed Flat For Sale £225,000
A spacious self-contained 2 bed, purpose-built ground floor flat with large level front and rear gardens and outbuilding, in need of some improvement, easy walk of facilities in Bridport town centre
SITUATION: The property is located in a level area with deep-cut river at the rear and is within easy, almost level walking distance of Waitrose, the bus station, medical centre and dentists'. The centre of the town lies approx 0.25 mile away with its fairly comprehensive range of mainly independent shops, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre, artists' and vintage quadrant and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. Bridport is a vibrant market town and hosts bands, festivals and events all year round.
There is an eclectic mix of residents and tourists and there is a large variety of organisations and clubs spanning a wide variety of leisure interests.
The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.
THE PROPERTY comprises the right-hand bottom flat within a purpose-built block of four featuring brick elevations under a mono-pitched roof. It was built just after the Second World War within an ex-local authority development for the purpose of housing ex-servicemen and their families. The properties are subject to a s.157 housing restriction.
The accommodation has been updated over the years with uPVC double-glazing. a fairly modern gas-fired boiler, modern electrics, some laminate flooring, modern kitchen and shower room suite. However, some further cosmetic improvement would now be beneficial.
It is unusual to find such spacious accommodation on a decent level plot with on-street parking immediately opposite and only a few minutes' walk from the town centre. These flats rarely become available as they stand the test of time and are very utilitarian.
The gardens are bathed in sunshine for most of the day.
