2 bedroom bungalow for sale

A semi-detached 2 bed bungalow in quiet edge of town location with walkway into Bridport close by, in need of some improvement, with garden, parking and garage

SITUATION: The property is located in a level backwater location on the edge of the village of Bradpole on the outskirts of the market town of Bridport.

Bradpole is a semi-rural village with active community, a village hall, public house, recreational ground, parish church, allotments and secondary school.

There is close by access onto the hard walkway/cycle route into Bridport approximately a mile to the south through the meadows skirting the indoor bowls centre, soft-play centre, Co-op and Lidl.

The popular town of Bridport affords a twice weekly street market, fairly comprehensive range of shops, artists' and vintage quadrant, art centre, Electric Palace theatre/cinema and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts many events and festivals all year round.

The coast at West Bay lies some 3 miles to the south where there is a boating/fishing harbour, water leisure activities, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached bungalow on the edge of an estate built in the early 1970's featuring brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof. This long term home has been maintained and updated as necessary over the years with uPVC double-glazed windows installed in 2006, modern external doors in 2012, replacement mains gas boiler in 2008 (regularly serviced) and there is smart meter for electricity. However, it is fair to say that the property is now in need of replacement kitchen and bathroom facilities, new floor coverings and redecoration and some TLC.

There is a long side driveway providing tandem parking for several cars and leading to a single garage. The rear garden is enclosed and overgrown but offers some scope for landscaping and there is a front low-walled garden setting the property back from the pavement/village lane.

THE ACCOMMODATION comprises the following:
Recessed front entrance door with obscure-glazed pane and side panel opening to an
ENTRANCE HALL with doors to the kitchen/dining room and into the:
SITTING ROOM which enjoys a large bay window to the east overlooking a village green opposite, with deep display sill. Reconstituted stone fireplace (decorative only) with electric fire fitted.
KITCHEN/DINING ROOM:
The Kitchen Area comprises a galley-style kitchen fitted with an older-style range of wall cupboards and base cupboards with worksurfaces, incorporating a single drainer stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap with window above, part-glazed door to the side driveway and a wall-mounted Worcester mains gas boiler providing central heating and hot water.
The Dining Area offers space for a table and chairs with window to the east.
INNER HALL with access to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The property has a small front garden laid to lawn with low brick wall frontage against the pavement and herbaceous borders. A side driveway provides tandem parking and leads to the SINGLE GARAGE which has an up-and-over door and flat roof. There is an outside tap.

A pedestrian wrought iron gate off the driveway accesses the rear garden which is presently overgrown but we understand has a greenhouse in the far corner and established bushes which will need some attention.

SERVICES: All mains services are provided. There is a mains gas boiler providing central heating and hot water. There is a smart meter for electricity and a modern consumer unit within a kitchen cupboard. Council Tax Band 'C'.
