Park Road, Bridport

Beautifully positioned 4/6 bedroom detached house in need of complete refurbishment with panoramic views across Bridport town and around to the sea at West Bay.

The Dwelling - Situated on Allington Hill, looking over Bridport town and with direct access to the hill from its garden, this property was specifically built to take full advantage of the spectacular 180° panoramic views stretching from Rampisham Down to Thorncombe Beacon, taking in West Bay and the sea on the way. This property was originally built in the 1940’s over 3 floors as two houses and made into one house in 1970. The property is now in need of complete reorganisation and refurbishment to bring it firmly into the 21st century - but what an opportunity!

Accommodation - The accommodation is briefly as follows. On the ground floor there are two large interconnecting rooms with fireplaces in each, stretching across the south and east side of the house, taking the best of the views. The north room has a breakfast balcony, accessed through French doors, looking out over Bridport. To the other side of the hallway on the west side there is a studio/bedroom with views of the garden, and a cloakroom/WC. To the north end there is a kitchen that is divided into both a dining area and a works area.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms served by a bathroom at each end of the house, each with its own sensational view.

On the lower ground floor there are two further rooms, which have been used as a bedroom and a study, with an adjacent WC; all accessed from inside the house. These also have their own outside access through a conservatory into the garden. There is a further workroom on the lower ground floor, accessed from the garden. The property has gas-fired heating, supplemented by a gas fired Aga in the kitchen and has Crittle windows throughout.

Outside - The property is approached from the end of Park Road where there is an area of parking for two cars and access to a single garage. The gardens cover over half an acre, with more formal areas to the south of the house and an extensive vegetable garden to the north with a variety of fruit trees. The garden has been planted with an array of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees over the years, which are now maturing to provide cover, colour, shape and form throughout the seasons.

To the edges the gardens become slightly more wild and are a haven for the surrounding wildlife. A really charming plantsman’s garden.

Situation - The property is found on the west side of the town, a short walk away from the main shopping areas. Bridport is a bustling and vibrant market town which has a history of rope making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It has a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses, restaurants catering for a range of tastes and excellent arts and music events. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.

Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage. Gas fired central heating.
