Bridport, Dorset

There’s a rare quality to homes that have been owned and loved by just one family since they were built—and this is certainly one of them. Constructed in 2002 by the well-respected local builder Frys, this beautifully maintained property occupies a generous corner plot within Wychside Close: a discreet cul-de-sac of similarly well-kept homes on the western edge of Bridport.

Stepping into the HALLWAY, there’s an immediate sense of generosity and balance. Broad, light-filled, and welcoming, the hall gives access to all principal ground floor rooms. A carpeted staircase rises to a spacious galleried landing, while a deep understairs cupboard keeps everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

The SITTING ROOM is a wonderful space for both family relaxation and entertaining. Spanning the depth of the home, it benefits from windows to three sides, along with French doors opening to both the front and rear gardens. Natural light flows through the room throughout the day, giving it a warm and inviting character. A traditional stone fireplace, currently with an electric fire but capable of accommodating an open flame, anchors the space with a sense of comfort and continuity.

At the heart of the home lies the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM—designed to be both practical and sociable. It’s a room that invites everyday use: whether it’s hurried school mornings, weekend baking, or a quiet coffee by the bay window. Dual aspect windows ensure the space is bright throughout the day, while the layout offers plenty of room for movement and conversation. There’s a built-in fridge, dishwasher, hob and a high-level double oven. An island unit provides a central hub for food preparation or informal dining, while the surrounding units offer a wealth of storage, with tiled floors and splashbacks making upkeep simple. Every element has been considered to make this a true working kitchen that supports family life.

To the rear of the kitchen lies a dedicated UTILITY ROOM, with a stainless steel sink, fitted storage, tiled floor and doors leading both to the garden and to a cloakroom—ideal for muddy boots and active children.

The DINING ROOM, like many of the spaces in this home, benefits from triple-aspect windows and French doors that open directly onto the garden. It’s a charming and elegant room—generously proportioned and well-suited to entertaining, with enough room for family gatherings or celebratory meals. Also on the ground floor is a STUDY, again triple aspect, offering an ideal space for working from home, reading in peace, or transforming into a children’s playroom or snug depending on your needs.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The galleried LANDING is a particular highlight—spacious and bright, with a window offering sea views across the rooftops. There’s a airing cupboard and easy access to all four bedrooms along with the family bathroom.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is tranquil, expansive, and filled with natural light. Triple-aspect windows ensure sun from all directions, and a pair of French doors lead out to a private, south-facing balcony—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening reflection, all with the backdrop of the sea beyond. The accompanying EN-SUITE is sleek and smart, with a double walk-in shower, modern vanity unit, W.C, heated towel rail and a rear-facing window.

Each of the remaining bedrooms are generously sized double rooms. BEDROOM TWO, with a window to the front, shares the sea view. BEDROOM THREE has the advantage of dual-aspect windows—again with a view to the coast—and comes complete with built-in storage. BEDROOM FOUR also enjoys a rear-facing window and includes a fitted wardrobe. The FAMILY BATHROOM is part-tiled and includes a full-size bath with shower over, vanity wash hand basin, W.C. and a window providing natural ventilation and light.

Outside
Set slightly back from the road behind an established front garden, the property makes an immediate impression with its handsome proportions and peaceful setting. A wide tarmac driveway offers ample parking and leads to the double garage, while a pathway brings you to the front door, where the home begins to gently unfold.

The gardens wrap around the house beautifully and have been thoughtfully landscaped to combine colour, privacy and practicality. The FRONT GARDEN is mainly laid to lawn and edged by mature hedging, trees and planted borders, with paved seating areas to enjoy the sun. Side gates lead to the enclosed REAR GARDEN. Here, a timber pergola draped in mature Wisteria offers shade and scent in the summer months, while a lawn provides space for children to play. Raised vegetable beds and herbaceous borders provide a nod to self-sufficiency, while a greenhouse and wooden summer house invite hours of pottering and enjoyment. A timber workshop, tucked neatly to one side, adds excellent storage or hobby space.

The DOUBLE GARAGE includes one manual and one electric up-and-over door, a pedestrian side door, and a window to the rear. Inside, there’s plenty of additional storage, including overhead space—perfect for bikes, camping gear or seasonal decorations. The driveway in front of the garage is smartly laid with tarmac and provides parking for multiple vehicles.

Just across the cul-de-sac lies a hidden gem: a private lawned area currently enjoyed as a thriving orchard. Shielded from view by mature hedging, it’s home to established apple, plum and pear trees. Whether used for picnics, a children’s adventure space, or simply an area for biodiversity, this extra parcel of land adds a rare and valuable dimension to the property.
