2 bed Flat For Sale £230,000
A second floor, 2 bed retirement flat within an excellent social complex, enjoying easterly sunshine with Juliet balcony overlooking the private communal grounds
SITUATION: The property is located within the Peelers Court retirement complex which lies just off the town centre of Bridport.

The area is steeped with organisations and clubs covering most leisure interests and there are well supported U3A groups.
The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with its pebble beaches, fishing/boating harbour, golf course on East Cliff and wide range of marine and leisure pursuits, together with access to the Jurassic Coast and South West Coastal Paths.
