Higher Street, Bridport

A bespoke four bedroom detached house situated on the outskirts of Bridport adjoining open countryside.

The Dwelling - Built in 2020 to a high specification, this four bedroom house has the eco-credentials one would expect whilst retaining a traditional feel. Adjoining open countryside, the house benefits from wonderful views and a sense of privacy, yet is a short distance to nearby amenities. Add to that a delightful garden, garage and parking, along with countryside walks on the doorstep, this property is the full package.

Accommodation - The hub of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining room, with sliding doors out onto the garden, blurring the lines between inside and outside. The contemporary kitchen has been upgraded and improved by the current ownership with a range of wall and base units with a peninsula dividing the room with a breakfast bar to one side. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven and induction hob and dishwasher with space for further appliances. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs to one end, with the sliding doors onto the terrace. There is a tucked away utility room with further cupboards and an integrated under counter freezer, and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The living room is to the front, with a modern corner wood burning stove as its focal point.

Off the large entrance hallway there is a study with doors onto the garden and a downstairs cloakroom. Much of the downstairs is fitted with engineered wooden flooring providing continuity, and benefits from underfloor heating.

Upstairs, a galleried landing provides access to four bedrooms and floods the house with an abundance of natural light. The principal bedroom is of particular note, being generously proportioned and taking in the wonderful views over the adjoining countryside. This room has an en-suite shower room and bedroom four is adjacent and is currently fitted out as a large dressing room. The other two bedrooms are generous doubles and are served by the family bathroom.

Outside - The rear garden is a particular feature, adjoining fields with a stream boundary to one side. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, punctuated with mature shrubs and trees.
