A SUPERB FAMILY HOME IN AN ELEVATED POSITION COMMANDING FAR REACHING VIEWS OVER THE TOWN AND SURROUNDING DORSET COUNTRYSIDE SITUATED AT THE END OF A QUIET NO THROUGH ROAD AND WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO THE SEA AT WEST BAY AND THE THRIVING MARKET TOWN OF BRIDPORT.
THE PROPERTY
This wonderful family home is situated in a very pleasant and quiet residential area, boasting wonderful views to Bothenhampton, Allington and Colmers Hill, and is just a short walk to the thriving market town of Bridport and the beach at West Bay, with all amenities to hand.
The house itself offers exceptionally light, spacious, and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, and has been the subject of much improvement in recent years both inside and out.
Steps lead down to the entrance, which opens into a lobby area connecting to a useful utility and boot room, and to one side continues along the main hall incorporating the stairs and leading to all ground floor rooms.
Attractive double glass doors open into a light filled sitting room, running the full depth of the house, with a central gas fireplace and stone surround, and patio doors at each end connecting to the gardens.
The kitchen has been cleverly re designed with ample work surfaces, and a range of shaker style base and wall units, incorporating integrated dishwasher, fridge-freezer, double oven, and a 4-ring halogen hob. There is also a breakfast bar with dog hutch beneath, well positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching countryside views. The kitchen is connected to a very generous utility/boot room with access out to the rear garden, and again has a good range of wall and base units including three full height larder cupboards with drawers, a wine fridge and sink.
From the hall, is another reception room, currently used as a study & snug, but could easily lend itself to an occasional ground floor bedroom, with the shower room situated alongside, or indeed a formal dining room.
The first-floor landing benefits from a light tunnel affording good light on darker days, and an airing cupboard. There are three good sized double bedrooms; with two having built in wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The rear bedrooms not surprisingly have beautiful views out across the town and to Colmers Hill, Bothenhampton Hill and towards Beaminster. There is also access to the integral garage on this floor, which currently also is used for laundry having plumbing for a washing machine.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is a driveway for one car in front of the single integral garage with up and over electric door. Steps shared with the neighbouring property lead down to the entrance, with a terraced landscaped garden to one side. Accessed via patio doors to one end of the sitting room is a very secluded South facing courtyard garden with pergola, which has plenty of room for a table and chairs, and a lovely spot to sit quietly with a cup of tea. A path from here leads around the side of the house, passing a wooden shed a through gate to the rear garden.
This has recently been very beautifully landscaped, and planted with low maintenance in mind, offering lawned, paved, and gravelled areas in which to relax, bath, dine and entertain.
All in all, this would make the most wonderful family home in this much sought after coastal location.
LOCATION
This property perfectly tucked away with very easy access walking to both Bridport town and West Bay and many footpath walks on the doorstep. Bothenhampton Nature reserve is accessed at the top of Coopers Drive and from there you can walk along the ridge of the hill overlooking both the sea and the countryside, towards Burton Bradstock.
Walks to Bothenhampton Hill and Village are also on the doorstep.
