Plumptree Gardens, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A beautifully appointed modern house with spacious and light rooms, superb views, well stocked terraced gardens and garage with studio room above just a walk from the town centre

SITUATION: The property occupies an elevated site within a small enclave known as Plumptree Gardens which is tucked just off Crock Lane and enjoys magnifient views to the west over the town to distant hills including the renowned Colmers Hill over which the sun sets.

Crock Lane is a small residential lane which runs parallel to Sea Road South. There is easy access onto Bothen Hill which rises behind as well as to Bothenhampton Village with its good community spirit, Church, village hall, recreational ground and footpaths to the coast at West Bay which is a gateway to the Jurassic Coast and South West Coastal Path. The centre of the town of Bridport is also easily walked to across the meadows.

Bridport is a vibrant, cultural and creative town with mainly individual shops, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, art centre, twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, restaurants and cafes and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, events and festivals all year round.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached character-style house with impressive frontage featuring brick elevations under a slate roof with dormer windows and detail with adjoining garage with studio room above. The property has been beautifully refurbished in recent years with a prevalence of wood-finished, including beams, some exposed pine floors, solid wood internal doors and sills to windows together with modernised bath and en-suite shower room. There are some curved wall edges and the house has been tastefully re-decorated throughout in co-ordinating colours bringing both charm and calm throughout.

The gardens which lie to the rear are terraced and well stocked to provide a haven for wildlife with an abundance of roses, specimen shrubs and small trees with every attention to detail providing colour, texture and scent all year round with areas for sitting out to enjoy the whole aura.

Rarely found in Bridport, this is a fairly modern home which ticks all the boxes for the discerning buyer and is in excellent condition ready to move into and enjoy. Its EPC rating well into the 'C' Band also makes this a very attractive opportunity for those looking for a good investment/lower bills.
