A spacious 2-bed 2nd floor flat within a Magna-controlled block with good natural light and superb views, in need of complete refurbishment, with outside shed and residents' parking. CASH BUYERS ONLY
SITUATION: The flat is located on the second floor within a large block of flats along the lower section of Princess Road with direct views over the allotments into South Street, with the Town Hall clock in view and distant hillside views particularly over Bothen Hill to the east.
The property is just a walk over the river bridge into the recreational playing field with path leading directly into South Street to the side of St Mary's Church.
There is a corner shop close by, a primary school and the leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites, rugby and football clubs as well as tennis courts and outdoor bowls club. There are also many allotment gardens just across the road.
There are direct footpaths close by alongside the river into the coastal village of West Bay, a gateway to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path.
THE PROPERTY was built in the 1960's and features mainly brick and clad elevations under a slate roof and spans 3-storeys with this flat located on the south-east corner on the top floor. We understand that this is the only privately-owned flat within the block. The fittings and decor date from the original build and there has been virtually no updating apart from the double-glazed windows and a more modern gas boiler.
The good-sized accommodation and provisions stand the test of time and allow a practical lifestyle opportunity but is now in need of complete refurbishment.
DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling south along South Street, turn right at the traffic lights at Morrisons and proceed up the hill and take the first right after the school into Alexandra Road. Take the second turning right into Princess Road and the property will be found on the left hand corner facing over the allotments.
