3 bedroom detached house

A detached Georgian 3 double bedroom house, Grade II Listed enjoying a sunny garden with double garage and ample off-road parking within easy walk of the town and coast.

SITUATION: The property lies just into West Bay Road, quietly tucked behind/alongside The Crown pub and almost opposite Groves Garden Centre. It is within about a mile's walk of the town centre to the north and almost equi-distant to the Jurassic Coastline at West Bay which makes this location very desirable and there is a good degree of privacy.

Bridport offers a vibrant community, enjoying mainly independent shops with a busy twice-weekly street market, vintage and artists' quarter, the Electric Palace Theatre/Cinema, Leisure Centre and the famous Bucky-Doo Square where festivals and events take place all year round.

West Bay is a coastal village/resort with a fishing harbour, beaches, golf course and access to the South West Coastal Paths.

There are so many clubs and organisations which provide cultural and leisure hobbies together with marine pursuits and a particularly well supported U3A group.

There have been some recent improvements but a planned programme of future works will be left to a new buyer.

There is a well enclosed sunny landscaped garden, ample parking and a double garage/workshop recently re-roofed.

THE PROPERTY comprises a handsome, detached and well proportioned house dating from the Georgian period and is Grade II Listed. The property features rendered and colourwashed elevations mainly under a slate roof. Features include some fine fireplaces, panelled doors and small-paned windows some of which have working shutters, high ceilings with some cornicing and picture rails, together with exposed floorboards.
