THE PROPERTY
Tucked away at the end of a no through road and approached by its own private drive, first glimpses of Greensands are most impressive with its pitched tiled roof and rendered facade.
A stone path leads up to the property which is nestled in its own beautiful gardens and grounds (4.6 acres) yet is so close to the popular market town of Bridport.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a large hallway which leads into a fantastic sitting room with a large window looking over the delightful gardens and grounds, with views over West Bay and the sea beyond. There is also a woodburning stove and open plan breakfast/dining area which leads perfectly into the kitchen and utility area. The property is completely untainted by inappropriate modernisation, and although very well presented offers a huge potential for any purchaser to put their own stamp on the property to take full advantage of this fantastic location.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, with three beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom, and separate WC.
Worth a special mention is the superb garden room and conservatory, ideal for entertaining with pretty tiled flooring and a woodburning stove with direct access to the paved terrace and garden, perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the wonderful views on a nice summer's day.
A wooden staircase leads up to the first floor annexe/flat which could ideally be used for guests, teenage children or an elderly relative with a large double bedroom, sitting room, study, storage area and bath/shower room. The views from this floor are spectacular and with a huge amount of natural light.
A particular feature of this wonderful property is the delightful garden and grounds amounting to approximately 4.6 acres with a large lawned area, a number of specimen trees including a eucalyptus and acacia. There is also a large paddock, a utopia for children and animals. To the side of the property is a double garage and greenhouse, potting shed and Spanish style courtyard, ideal for a barbeque or another al fresco eating area.
All in all, this would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
LOCATION
The hamlet of Watton is tucked away on the fringes of the market town of Bridport, within walking distance to the town centre and the famous Jurassic Coastline at West Bay. Bridport is a most attractive and bustling Georgian town that retains an excellent number of independent shops and restaurants and a thriving street market on Saturdays and Wednesdays. A choice of supermarkets is available in or around the town including Morrisons within close walking distance and Waitrose. There is a cottage hospital, a large medical centre, a popular leisure centre, a successful Arts Centre, two theatres, and a number of independent festivals involving the arts are held throughout the year.
Much of the countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where strict planning controls apply to preserve its special character. West Bay is a popular small seaside resort with harbour, shops, restaurants and attractive beach, the Dorset coast is now recognised as a World Heritage Site.
A further wider range of amenities, including a mainline railway station to London Waterloo can be found at the County Town of Dorchester, or Crewkerne.
