Alexandra Road, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A spacious detached 2 bed bungalow with conservatory, attached garage/workshop, extensive gardens, driveway parking and views within an active walk of Bridport town centre, with some scope for improvement

SITUATION: The property enjoys an elevated position on the higher side and set well back from Alexandra Road enjoying fine views to distant hillsides to the east. This is a very convenient location for walking across the recreational field into Bridport's South Street, with primary school, convenience corner shop and Leisure Centre within a few minutes' active walk away.

The vibrant town centre of Bridport has a renowned twice-weekly street market, art centre, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, vintage and artists' quadrant, mainly independent shops, community orchard and the central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, festivities and events all year round. There are so many local eateries and organisations catering for a wide range of leisure and sporting pursuits including well supported U3A groups.

There is close by access to walks across the fields into the coastal village of West Bay with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and gateway to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY is believed to have been built in 1980 and is of traditional construction, featuring reconstituted stone elevations under a concrete tiled roof, and has uPVC double-glazed windows. It has been very well maintained but little updated and now offers a home ready to move into and put one's own stamp on. However, some may appreciate the original luxury vintage fittings.

The accommodation enjoys large windows to pleasant aspects and attracting a good flow of natural light to the interior. The addition of the conservatory brings the outdoors in and the indoors out to enjoy the garden to its fullest. There is also a large attached garage ideal for a workshop/studio/potential work-from-home office.

There are very attractive large gardens both to the front and rear.

There is no forward chain and the main furniture is available if desired.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling south along South Street, proceed to the crossroads at Palmers Brewery/Morrisons and turn right. Proceed up the hill and take the first right into Alexandra Road and the property will be found on the left-hand side shortly after the turning to Elizabeth Avenue.
