Howard Close, Bothenhampton, Bridport

A classic four bedroom detached family house with a double garage and views over the garden towards Jellyfields Nature Reserve.

The Property - Pippins is believed to have been built in 2000 by Betterment Homes and is a traditional double fronted detached family house with brick elevations under a tiled roof. In addition to its spacious accommodation, the position is what marks this property out from other similar houses. It lies in a sought after edge of town location overlooking open countryside to the rear, and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac away from passing traffic with the advantage of being just a walk to Bridport town centre - a rare beast indeed!

The property is conventionally arranged around the hallway on the ground floor. On the left hand side, there is the sitting/dining room which stretches from the front to the rear of the original property with sliding double doors leading through to a conservatory which was upgraded in 2017 and enjoys the best of the views over the garden and the local countryside behind. To the right hand side of the hall there is a kitchen/breakfast room with an eating area to one end and a kitchen area to the other, that is equipped with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with built-in double electric oven and gas hob, with space for a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. Behind the kitchen is a useful utility room while at the end of the hallway there is a cloakroom. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, the principle of which has an ensuite shower room with the three remaining bedrooms having use of a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The two bedrooms to the rear have fantastic views over the garden towards Jellyfields Nature Reserve. The property has UPVC double glazing, gas fired central heating and Rockwool cavity insulation.

Outside - There is a driveway to the side of the house, laid to tarmac providing parking for a number of cars and access to the double garage that is equipped with twin up and over doors with light and power. The gardens behind are a particular feature of the property, with a terrace immediately behind the house giving way to a formal garden, below that is for the most part laid to lawn and edged and punctuated by mature herbaceous, shrub and tree planting. To one corner there is a magnificent mature fir tree that has a TPO and to the other corner behind the garage there is a greenhouse.
