Key information
Features and description
A particularly quirky, vintage-style detached bungalow with a prevalence of wood beautifully crafted in quiet, countryside location within easy walk of the town centre
SITUATION: The property lies in a particularly appealing location with an outlook directly into the Nature Reserve offering superb walks into the countryside. Yet, it is also only an easy level walk to the town centre and just 3 miles from the coast.
Bridport is renowned for its wide streets featuring a good range of mainly independent shops together with a vibrant street market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, an artists' and vintage quadrant, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and organisations and clubs to suit most leisure and hobby pursuits. Bridport also hosts many events and festivals all year round.
West Bay has a fishing harbour and beaches and gives access to the South West Coastal Path along the Jurassic Coastline.
THE PROPERTY has been beautifully renovated over the last few years with a prevalence of natural wood throughout. Built of cavity brick and stone construction in the 1970's, the property now features wooden cladding to the exterior under a tiled roof with mainly wooden double-glazed windows.
Inside, the property has been upgraded but in 1950/60s vintage style with quality fittings all very attractive and further enhanced by the colourful complimenting decor. There are mainly wood-block floors, wood panelled doors with vintage fittings and a recent extension adjoining the kitchen provides a dining room/workroom and has been built in wood-cabin style.
The bungalow has plenty of windows giving good natural light and brightness throughout the day, with woodland views to the front and views to the rear over its large private gardens behind.
The property has an extensive parking area to the front, an attached garage/workshop with utility room adjoining, summerhouse and outside shed.
DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling east, take the A35 off the roundabout towards Dorchester. Take the second right hand turning to Walditch and, at the mini-roundabout, turn into Lower Walditch Lane. The property is easily recognisable on the left.
THE ACCOMMODATION comprises:
ENCLOSED ENTRANCE PORCH with wooden front door with central bottle pane and side panes. Step up and fluted glazed door with side panes opening into:
HALL with coat peg rack and built-in linen cupboard. Hatch to roof space which is where the modern gas-fired boiler is located.
SITTING ROOM featuring an open fireplace and picture window almost directly facing south and overlooking the wooded Nature Reserve.
BREAKFAST KITCHEN superbly fitted with a range of bespoke, rustic wooden cupboards and worksurfaces incorporating a SMEG four-ring gas hob and oven, vintage-tiled splashbacks and walk-in shelved pantry with ventilating window. Large picture window above the single drainer stainless steel sink unit overlooking the rear garden - ideal for bird watching. The kitchen has a side LOBBY which opens to the: DINING/WORKROOM which is a slightly wedge-shaped wooden extension to the east side with window to the south, two high-level windows providing good natural light but ensuring privacy and door to the rear patio.
BEDROOM 1 (front and looking out to the Nature Reserve). Built-in double-doored wardrobe cupboards with storage cupboards over.
BEDROOM 2 with double doors with side panes opening out to a deep wooden terrace leading to the rear garden. Double-doored wardrobe with storage cupboards over.
BATHROOM comprising a vintage cast iron bath with mixer tap and shower heads over and floor-to-ceiling wooden storage unit to the end, Burlington wash basin, obscure-glazed window to the rear with quarry tiled sill. A half-height room divider with wooden shelf partially separates off the toilet which has a further small high-level window behind and a wall-mounted towel rail.
OUTSIDE
A large private driveway splays to the front providing a good parking area with lawns adjoining and leading to the ATTACHED GARAGE/WORKSHOP which has a connecting door into a UTILITY ROOM where there is a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and work surface and a door to the back garden.
At the rear, there is a deep wooden terrace with painted retaining wall edged with wood and small flights of paved stone steps either side leading to the large, gently upward-sloping garden which ensures privacy and is bathed in sunshine for most of the day. This garden is mainly laid to lawn and has a pebbled concrete central path leading through various sitting areas then through a rustic arbour with picket-style fence adjoining into the more productive area where there is a tool shed and a potting shed.
There is a pedestrian gate to the west side of the property and an open-fronted wood store.
SERVICES: All mains services are connected. Gas-fired central heating. Council Tax Band 'D'.
