Valley Road, Bothenhampton, Bridport, DT6

A beautifully appointed and extended contemporary detached bungalow on a fairly level corner site with blank-canvas gardens just an active level walk to the town centre and coast

SITUATION: The property occupies a large corner plot on the lower slope of Valley Road, within a 1970's development of mainly bungalows and affording superb views towards Bothen Hill. There is a nature reserve which runs along the eastern fringe of the development and connects to the old railway line which leads to West Bay and there are cut-throughs to the town centre of Bridport, an active mile's walk away.

The Crown pub lies at the bottom of the hill as does Groves Nursery with its cafe/restaurant and Morrisons is also within easy reach. There are also connecting footpaths to Bothenhampton village where there is a good community, village hall, recreational ground, active Parish Church and very ancient Church.

The vibrant town centre of Bridport affords mainly independent shops with a twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, art centre and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and fitness suites and the central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, festivals and events all year round.

The coast at West Bay lies approx 1.5 miles distant with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path, and also provides many marine and water pursuits, together with regular firework displays.

THE PROPERTY comprises a detached bungalow featuring attractive brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof with matching extension to the rear with light turret providing a beautiful contemporary living/dining/kitchen fitted with luxury modern units and appliances with every attention to detail. The whole bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated with no expense spared and is offered in excellent order throughout.

The wrap-around gardens extend mainly to the south and east and provide lawned areas with sitting out terraces, all well fenced and secure with a detached garage with adjoining driveway providing additional parking. This garden has been designed for ease of maintenance but offers a blank canvas for those wanting to create a formal garden or for horticultural production.
