There is also almost immediate access to a network of walks into the wooded hillside behind the property and there are no main roads close by. The views are magnificent over Coneygar Hill to the south, reaching Thorncombe Beacon to the west and almost 180 degrees inland including the amazing skyscapes rising above. The property is also an ideal viewing point for watching birds and other fauna as well as the changing seasons.

Co-op and Lidl are within easy reach as are both primary and secondary schools.

The vibrant town centre of Bridport is an approximate 15 minutes' active walk away with its mainly independent shops, renowned twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and many restaurants and cafes. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, events and festivities all year round.

The coastal village of West Bay lies some 2.5 miles to the south with its ancient fishing/boating harbour, beaches, golf course on East Cliff, marine activities and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached 2 bed/2 bath chalet-style bungalow with a converted loft room upstairs ideal for a studio or work from home office.

The main property was built in the late 1960's and features brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof. It was extended about 15 years ago to provide a well-blended single-storey of similar construction which has enabled a contemporary kitchen/dining room adjoining the garage with double doors opening to the rear patio which has steps leading up to the delightful rising terraces to the rear and backing onto the wooded hillside behind. The first floor converted loft room has had Velux windows installed and this now provides a large open room with a modern shower room suite.

The gardens extend to the front and rear and have been beautifully landscaped and well established with shrubs, bushes, fruit trees and some cultivated areas, a fish pond, two sheds and there are sitting areas on several levels.
