A rare opportunity to purchase a 40% share of a very modern Magna semi-detached house with parking and enclosed rear garden with large shed on the northern edge of Bridport

SITUATION: The property is located on the very northern fringe of Bridport quietly tucked away and backing onto open farmland to the rear. There is a footpath leading into Victoria Grove or by car/bicycle into the town centre along St Swithins Road.

Bridport offers a good range of mainly independent shops, twice-weekly street market, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, community orchard and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool.

There are primary schools and the Sir John Colfox Secondary School within walking distance and both the medical centre and dentists' practices are less than a mile away.

The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with its fishing/boating harbour and beaches with access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached 2 bedroomed house built some 10 years ago tastefully decorated and beautifully presented. The rooms are light and spacious and enjoy views over farmland to the rear and views over the town to distant hills to the east. The property benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows, full gas-fired central heating, excellent insulation and PV panels on the roof, ensuring a cosy home with low running costs.

There is also an opportunity to extend into the roof space as the trusses provide for this.

Outside, there is a parking space, open-plan front garden and well fenced rear garden which is hard-landscaped and includes a large timber shed ideal for bicycles, with side access gate.

The buyer has to go through an assessment process with Magna - further details are available from Kennedys.
