East Cliff, West Bay, Bridport, DT6

An elevated 2 bed detached 1930's bungalow with double garage, parking and deep frontage close to the beach and harbour, in need of internal improvement. No chain.

SITUATION: The property is situated on the East Cliff in West Bay with a long garden path off Station Road. It is just a few minutes' walk to the beach and harbour. West Bay is a boating/fishing village with tourist attractions, small range of shops, pubs/hotels, a convenience store and recreational ground and gives access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths. There is a bus service to Weymouth (18 miles) where there is a main line railway station and Bridport (2 miles).

Bridport is a vibrant town recently designated for its culture and arts. There is a comprehensive range of mainly independent shops boosted by a twice-weekly street market, the Electric Palace Cinema/Theatre, Art Centre, vintage and artists' quadrant and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. There is a wide range of community organisations and the central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, festivals and events all year round.

THE PROPERTY comprises a detached bungalow dating from the 1930's with brick, mainly rendered and colourwashed elevations under a
recently replaced hipped slate roof/gutters and is set into the rise of East Cliff. It has a long terraced frontage with two garages with parking to the front and further parking for a small boat.

Particularly given the new building adjacent to the property, we believe this versatile plot holds the potential for re-development for a manner of different uses (subject to any necessary planning consents).

There are mainly uPVC double-glazed windows and doors and a modern mains gas boiler. However, internally the property is in need of considerable improvement cosmetically and also the electrics. Some character features are still intact including panelled wood doors, wood-block flooring and picture rails.

The main advantage of the property is the proximity to the beach, harbour and sea occupying a large plot offering considerable potential for ponds, hot-tub and sauna. This is a property that lends itself to many lifestyle priorities and there is no forward chain.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travel into West Bay, over the mini-roundabout and continue bearing left along Station Road. Proceed past the West Bay Hotel on the left and the property will be found a short way along on the right-hand side.

THE ACCOMMODATION comprises the following:
Angled large uPVC entrance door with side panels and additional obscure-glazed window to the north attracting good natural light to the ENTRANCE HALLWAY which has a wide archway opening to the:
SPACIOUS INNER HALL with doorways off to each of the rooms. Wall-mounted control for the central heating.
SITTING ROOM with bay window to the north-west with shaped wooden sill affording far-reaching views across the former railway station/kitchen restaurant along the coastline and to distant hills. Additional side window and bricked up fireplace opening (chimney removed when the roof was replaced).
KITCHEN/DINING ROOM comprehensively fitted with an old range of units now requiring updating but being a good size with central area suitable for a dining table. There is a rear part-glazed uPVC door to the rear patio. Boarded ceiling, older-style electric meter and fuse boxes, gas point for cooker. Windows to two aspects and views.
BEDROOM 1 with window to the north-east giving distant views to the countryside. Old wardrobes fitted along one whole wall.
BEDROOM 2: A smaller double bedroom with window to the north-east.
