Morcombelake, Bridport, DT6 6DJ

An extended, detached four bedroom Woolaway bungalow, set within a generous plot, close to the coast.

The Dwelling - The property has been in the same ownership for over 70 years and is a Woolaway bungalow with later extensions. Set on a large plot with views to the surrounding countryside, there are many footpaths close at hand over the National Trust land, giving access to the coast path and further afield.

Accommodation - The bungalow itself sits in the middle of its generous plot. It has been extended on two sides and now offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a family bathroom and a fitted high gloss kitchen. The property is of non-standard construction in part and would benefit from modernisation throughout.

The front door leads into a garden room, facing south-west which flows into the kitchen that is fitted with a range of units and a built-in electric double oven and induction hob. The property continues into a good-size south-west facing sitting room which looks out over the gardens towards the sea. There is a hallway from the kitchen that allows access to the family bathroom, two bedrooms and a further reception room which has been built as part of the extension. This family room is currently used as a dining room but could be used for several purposes and has the same aspect as the sitting room. Both the bedrooms have fitted double wardrobes. An inner hallway from the family room leads to the two remaining bedrooms.

Outside - A tarmac driveway leads up to the property, with parking for several cars and access to a large workshop, with light and three phase electricity connected. The gardens surround the property on three sides, with a large area of lawn on the southern side. A productive vegetable patch lies on the Northern side and there are further areas of lawn and mature shrub planting and herbaceous borders. A gate at the top of the plot gives pedestrian access to the road.

Situation - The property lies in the centre of the village of Morcombelake, which has a well-stocked farm shop. The market town of Bridport lies approximately 6 miles to the East. Bridport 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 and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and varied 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 and Axminster. Charmouth and Lyme Regis are also just a short motoring distance away.
