Old Lyme Road, Charmouth, Bridport

An individual detached bungalow offering great improvement/redevelopment potential, set in large gardens enjoying wonderful coastal/sea views in a sought after location within the popular coastal village of Charmouth

The Property - Enjoying wonderful sea and coastal views and in a sought after residential road within easy reach of the village centre and beaches. An attractive, individual, detached bungalow offering great improvement/redevelopment potential.

Molescroft was understood to have been built in the 1930s, of traditional construction with rendered colour-washed elevations and has been under the current ownership for some 45 years.

The property offers spacious accommodation, enjoying views over the gardens and taking advantage of the lovely sea/coastal views and to Stonebarrow Hill.

The property is offered in tidy, dated, condition with gas-fired central heating (boiler recently replaced), uPVC windows/doors and a fitted kitchen with solid oak limed fronted units, electric double oven, electric hob, integrated washing machine and dishwasher, plus a large modern uPVC conservatory.

Character features, typical of its period, include a large bay window, high ceilings, picture rails, ornate carved stone fireplaces and the original larder cupboards and internal doors.

Although the property has been well cared for and loved over the years, it would now benefit from general refurbishment and offers great potential for improvement and enlargement, which might include a loft conversion. Alternatively, it offers great potential for complete redevelopment to build a new striking home, subject to the usual planning consents.

The well proportioned accommodation extends to entrance lobby, reception hall, living room, uPVC conservatory, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with larder, rear lobby, three bedrooms, shower room/WC, separate second WC, very large loft with open cut timbers (great potential to create additional accommodation, say, one or two extra bedrooms, bathroom and balcony etc.).

Outside - In total, the plot extends to about 0.4 acres . Molescroft is set well back and screened from the lane, being approached through double gates onto a long tarmac driveway leading to a detached garage with workshop/store behind.

The large gardens, again, enjoy wonderful coastal/sea views and principally down to lawn together with adjoining paved terrace, apple trees and a pedestrian gate onto the lane.

Situation - Old Lyme Road is a highly sought after residential road on the favoured western side of Charmouth. It is very well located within easy reach of the village centre, the beach and open countryside/coastal walks. Charmouth is a delightful and very popular coastal village on the stunning Jurassic Coast. It offers excellent amenities including a newsagent, general stores, bakery, hairdresser, chemist, doctors’ surgery, library, hotels, restaurants and inns. There is also a very popular primary school and the village is within the catchment area of the excellent Woodroffe Senior School.

The whole area is designated as being one of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and the coast has been awarded World Heritage status. Much of the surrounding countryside is either owned or controlled by the National Trust. The thriving market town of Bridport is about 7 miles to the east, whilst the historic resort of Lyme Regis is very nearby. The town of Axminster is also within easy driving distance with mainline rail services to London.
