An impressive Grade II Listed penthouse apartment arranged over three floors with stunning period features situated in the heart of Bridport town.

The Dwelling - This Georgian Grade II Listed three bedroom apartment is understood to date back to 1764 and is situated in the heart of Bridport town. The property has been well maintained and improved over the years, and now offers wonderful character features sympathetically incorporating all the modern conveniences one would expect in this day and age. Period features include ornate ceiling cornices, a Regency-style marble fireplace with decorative tiled reveals, exposed wooden floorboards and wooden fluted and arched alcoves.

Accommodation - The accommodation is arranged over three floors, starting in a spacious entrance hall with a curved staircase with wooden balustrading and a handrail leading up. A large sky-light floods natural light into the hallway, which has a useful study area with a built-in desk and shelving, a concealed utility area housing the boiler with plumbing for a washing machine and a cloakroom. The living room is generously proportioned, with two large sash windows taking in the town with a focal point of a fireplace equipped with an open fire and arched alcoves either side. The kitchen/dining room is adjacent, with a dining area overlooking the town square with arched alcoves. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with a large larder cupboard, a range cooker, a dishwasher, a full height fridge and freezer.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both benefitting from built-in wardrobes and storage with windows to the front. The bathroom is contemporary with a bath, a large walk-in shower, bidet, wc, sink and an airing cupboard. There is a further bedroom on the second floor, a large room with a built-in wardrobe and access to an extensive storage room.

Outside - The apartment fronts South Street, but is accessed via The Tanyard with an external staircase leading to the first floor terrace and front door.
