Green Lane, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A semi-detached 1970's chalet bungalow occupying a generous, fairly level plot in a highly desirable location with no main road noise affording some scope for improvement, within walking distance of the town and coast

SITUATION: The property is located along Green Lane which lies off Crock Lane and adjoining Slades Green. This is a tranquil location with little passing traffic and no main road noise. Yet, it is only a short walk into Bothenhampton village with its Parish Church, village hall, recreational ground and access to the Nature Reserve.

It is an active walk into Bridport town centre across the meadows about 1.25 miles away which offers a vibrant community with mainly independent shops boosted by a twice-weekly street market, a vintage and artists' quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre and many restaurants, pubs and cafes, together with nearby Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, events and festivities all year round.

The coastal village/resort of West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south and there is near by access to walkways from here to there. West Bay has a boating/fishing harbour, beaches and is a gateway to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached chalet-style house featuring mainly reconstituted stone with part-tile hung elevations under a tiled roof with dormer windows to the front and rear and was built in the late 1960's/early 70's.

The "wedge-shaped plot" extends to the side with detached garage/store room and affords a very large garden to the rear providing a blank canvas for extensive allotment cultivation and pleasure gardens.

The site also offers potential for extension/garden lodge, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The property has been generally well maintained and is well presented but it is fair to say that there is room for improvement to bring it up to modern-day standards. The first floor window to the west commands magnificent views.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling south along South Street to the Groves roundabout, take the first exit left into Sea Road North. Take the second turning right into Pasture Way and bear to the left reaching the junction with Crock Lane. Turn right and then first left into Slades Green/Green Lane. Continue straight up the road and No 3 will be found on the left-hand side.
