House For Sale £320,000
A fine period 3-storey Victorian house with modern kitchen/dining room extension to the rear, long established gardens, just a walk from the town centre
SITUATION: The property has a pavement frontage towards the far end of North Allington within an easy walk of Allington Hill with its woodland walks and community areas. The town centre of Bridport lies approx 0.5 mile away with its mainly independent shopping centre with twice-weekly street market, Waitrose, the bus station, medical centre, Electric Palace cinema/theatre, Art Centre, vintage and artists' quadrant and Bucky Doo Square which hosts a range of events and festivals all year round, together with a leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites.
Bridport is a vibrant market town with many cultural, sports, musical and leisure organisations suiting most people, including well supported U3A groups. The town also has several primary schools and the Sir John Colfox secondary school.
The coastal village of West Bay lies some 2.5 miles to the south with its historic fishing and boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.
THE PROPERTY comprises a fine 3-storey property with additional attic room/craft studio/office, featuring brick elevations under a slate roof with attractive Georgian-style sash windows bringing good natural light to the interior. It is believed the property is not Listed but it displays many character features including high ceilings with cornices and picture rails, fireplaces, original folding and window shutters to the sitting room.
A major single-storey extension lies to the rear, extending into the garden, built some 30 years ago providing a large kitchen/breakfast room with solid oak units and granite work surfaces with three windows enjoying views into the well established and private gardens.
The property has been continuously updated as required for letting over the last 23 years and has recently had new sash cords provided to the windows and modern flooring throughout (apart from an original flagstone corridor).
The rear garden is very long but narrow and is well planted with fruit trees and roses and a greengage but is now in need of further attention.
DIRECTIONS: Travelling west from Bridport town centre along West Street, proceed straight over the first mini-roundabout to the second mini-roundabout and take the right hand exit into North Allington (signposted to Salwayash). Proceed for approx 0.5 mile and the property will be found on the right-hand side with parking possible immediately outside on the roadside.
THE ACCOMMODATION comprises:
Wooden front door with arched glazed pane over, opening to the:
SITTING ROOM with wooden folding shutters to the west window and featuring a grand surround to the open fireplace which has a wrought iron grate and surround with tiled hearth extending and shelving to the recesses either side. A flagstone path leads from the front door into the:

SIDE LOBBY area with large part-glazed door with glazed side panel adjoining, opening to the garden with curtain rail above and a small roof hatch, and giving open access to the:
KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM which has a sufficient range of solid oak wall cupboards and base cupboards with granite work surfaces over and incorporating a double sink unit with mixer tap and granite draining board and there is a very long antique butcher's table with knife slots adjoining.

These gardens enjoy peace and tranquillity and are a haven for wildlife.
