West Street, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A one-up, one-down semi-detached bijou period cottage tucked away from the main street left in the process of modernisation with front patio and good-sized rear garden

SITUATION: The property is located off West Street behind Long's Fish and Chip Shop and the Market House pub. A passageway between these two properties opens to the rear where this cottage is nestled and is semi-detached with the adjoining cottage. This is a very quiet location yet only a few minutes' walk of the town centre which has good shopping facilities, a twice-weekly street market, Electric Palace cinema/theatre, Art Centre, vintage and artists' quadrant and the central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, events and festivals all year round.

Bridport has a very vibrant community, has just been classed as a town of culture and offers an alternative lifestyle too.

The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with connecting walks/cycle routes and affords beaches, fishing harbour and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises an attractive semi-detached cottage featuring mainly stone elevations with brick detail under a clay tiled roof with front pitched canopy storm porch over the wide front entrance door. There is documentation to say that the property is not Grade II Listed but recent improvements have mainly preserved its character. The property has been considerably improved but the renovation process has not been completed and it is sold as seen. The property has been re-wired with new consumer unit and modern electric panel heaters with remote control, some modern units to the kitchen and en-suite shower room fitted, new flooring to the downstairs and insulated vaulted ceiling to the first floor with Velux providing additional light to the front and rear windows.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport walking west along West Street, there is a passageway adjoining the Market House and Long's Fish and Chip Shop on the right-hand side which leads through to this property.
