3 bedroom bungalow for sale

A much loved 3 bedroom semi-detached bungalow with outbuildings and garage, on a large corner garden plot with versatility for extension and just a short walk to facilities

SITUATION: The property occupies a generous corner plot on the lower slope of Bramley Hill with easy access walkway alongside the property to supermarkets and both primary and secondary schools.

The town centre of Bridport lies approximately a mile away with its mainly independent shops, popular twice-weekly street market, vintage and artists' quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, art centre and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. The central Bucky Doo Square plays host to festivals and events all year round and there are many organisations and clubs to suit most leisure interests including well supported U3A groups and many chances to get involved with community projects. Bridport affords a very active and supportive vibrant and alternative community.

The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with its fishing and boating harbour, beaches, golf course, many marine and water pursuits and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached bungalow occupying a generous corner garden plot featuring brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof, believed to have been built in the 1980's. The property has been much loved, well maintained and in the same ownership for many years and has benefitted from cavity wall insulation, PV panels (not owned outright) but which ensure cheaper running costs, modern double-glazing, good roof insulation and a modern gas-fired combi-boiler providing central heating to individually thermostatted radiators to all principal rooms.

There is much versatility for improvement including potential for a roof space conversion and the garage and adjoining storage sheds/workshops may provide additional annexe accommodation or work-from-home/gym space.

Outside, there is a good garden area, driveway providing parking for 2-3 cars in tandem and leading to the detached garage with adjoining outbuildings. The garden offers a safe and substantial haven with high boundary fences enjoying a good degree of natural sunshine with range of small trees and raised beds offering potential for cultivation.
