Manor Barn, Bothenhampton, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A semi-detached, well maintained modern 3 bed cottage-style house in quiet village location with pretty cottage garden, garage and parking space just an active walk from Bridport town centre and to the coast

SITUATION: The property is located in the centre of the village of Bothenhampton which is located on the eastern side of the market town of Bridport. The centre of the town is within an active walk across Asker Meadows and there is a close by walkway over a Nature Reserve into the coastal village of West Bay some 2 miles to the south.

The village of Bothenhampton is a popular location as it adjoins Bridport and West Bay with all its useful attributes. The village has a Parish Church, recreational area, village hall, ancient Church and has a good and active community. There are good walks into the countryside over Bothen Hill.

The town of Bridport has mainly independent shops, a popular twice-weekly street market, an Arts Centre and the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, an artists and vintage quadrant, community allotments and apple orchard, cafes and restaurants and a Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool.

The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, festivals and activities all year round and Bridport has been recently recognised for its cultural and artists' presence.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached 1990's house built by the local, reputed firm of C G Fry and Son. The property features a stone front elevation with brick quoins under a concrete tiled roof. The rear elevation is rendered and colourwashed with similar brick quoins to the windows.

The property has some style and offers a good-sized 3 bed/1 bath family house which is now in need of some improvement to bring it up to modern-day standards but benefits from modern gas-fired central heating and hot water, a south aspect and views.

Outside, there is a small enclosed front garden and a reasonable-sized, mainly hard landscaped rear garden together with a garage and parking space.
