Warne Hill, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A characterful, well appointed and beautifully presented, spacious Victorian detached family house with good-sized garden, extensive parking and double garage quietly tucked away within easy walk of Bridport town centre

SITUATION: The property is quietly tucked away on the eastern side of Bridport with approach off of East Road. It lies at the end of a small close of individual detached properties known as Warne Hill. The site is slightly elevated and the property takes advantage of views to distant hillsides. However, the vibrant town centre of Bridport is just a half-mile easy walk away, there are scenic walks closeby alongside the river and meadows to the Co-op and Lidl supermarkets and to both primary and secondary schools. Hence, this is an ideal location for families who do not want to spend much time accessing schools, leisure facilities, clubs and organisations and also the coast at West Bay some 2 miles to the south.

This location is also highly desirable for those families with teenagers as they would be able to access the town, leisure centre, youth and community centre, tennis and football clubs safely on their own. There are also cycle routes, walkways and bus service to West Bay with its beaches, fishing/boating harbour, aqua sports and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a substantial detached house occupying a generous plot and exuding character features from the Victorian period but is not Listed. This town residence features brick elevations under slate roofs with double-glazed large Georgian-style windows bringing a good degree of natural light into the interior particularly from the bay window section to the principal living room and offers delightful views to distant hillsides. The property has been well maintained and updated over the years harmonising the retained character features with modern contemporary luxury.

Character features include a beautiful Victorian mosaic-tiled floor to the entrance hall, high ceilings and high wooden skirtings, period wooden doors, a feature fireplace and bay window section to the main reception room together with some beamed ceilings, picture and dado rails. The sympathetic renovation now provides excellent contemporary family living spaces with luxury modern kitchen and bathroom facilities (the latter fully. All is in tasteful decorative order ready to move into and enjoy without further ado.

The good-sized yet manageable garden provides for outdoor al-fresco dining with lawns extending offering a blank canvas for garden enthusiasts. The double garage provides a useful workshop/home-office space and there is plenty of parking space for a home of this size, which could also be further extended, subject to any necessary planning consents.
