Bridport, Dorset

Stepping through the front door, the hallway gives an immediate sense of welcome, with a CLOAKROOM to one side complete with wash hand basin, W.C., and a side-aspect window. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM lies at the front of the house, benefitting from a connection to the family bathroom via a Jack and Jill door. This arrangement gives the room an en-suite feel, while retaining easy access for the rest of the household. BEDROOM THREE sits alongside, also to the front, while BEDROOM TWO has the advantage of built-in shelving and a view to the side. The FAMILY BATHROOM itself provides the best of both worlds, with both bath and separate shower, together with a vanity unit, heated towel rail, and another side window bringing in natural light.

The heart of the home is formed by the main living spaces. The SITTING ROOM, with its gas fire and wooden floor, feels inviting and calm, with French doors opening onto the terrace and a side-aspect window drawing in additional light. From here, it is easy to imagine summer evenings flowing out into the garden enjoying the southerly aspect and being only moments from the beach. The DINING ROOM, with built-in storage and a rear view across the garden, provides a lovely setting for family meals or dinner with friends. The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, well-fitted with wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a sociable breakfast bar, enjoys its own garden outlook and a practical door into the double garage. The DOUBLE GARAGE itself is a generous space with power, light, water, and a pedestrian side door, offering as much versatility as the house itself.

On the lower ground floor, a self-contained area provides further scope, whether as a private space for family members, a teenager’s retreat, or even a home office suite. BEDROOM FIVE/HOME OFFICE has sliding doors to the side is complemented by a separate shower room, while BEDROOM FOUR, fitted with built-in storage and patio doors opening directly to the garden, completes this adaptable level.

Outside
Outside, the property continues to impress. At the FRONT, a gravelled driveway is complemented by additional parking in front of the garage, with gated access on both sides leading to the rear. It is here that the house reveals one of its greatest treasures: a south/west-facing garden that has clearly been much loved over the years.

Predominantly laid to gravel for ease of care, it is interspersed with raised potting beds, a pond, and seating areas to enjoy the sun throughout the day. Beneath the terrace, a useful storage room provides an ideal place for gardening equipment or watersports kit. Perhaps best of all, a discreet rear gate opens directly onto the old railway line footpath, offering a most scenic walk straight down to West Bay.

Location
