Eype, Bridport, Dorset

You’re welcomed in through a substantial front door into a light-filled HALLWAY that immediately gives a sense grandeur setting the scene for the rest of the home. Two skylights draw in daylight from above, while low-level kickboard lighting adds a softer feel in those cozy evenings. There are useful built-in storage cupboards at the end of the hallway, a separate PLANT ROOM, along with a separate W.C. for guests which sits neatly in between the living and bedroom areas of the home.

The main living space is open-plan and beautifully arranged, designed very much with modern social living in mind. The SITTING ROOM centres around a contemporary electric fire and is flanked by substantial corner bi-fold doors opening up the space, making the most of the countryside views and really getting the sense of bringing the outside in. It’s easy to imagine this being the hub of the home, whether for day-to-day living or when entertaining, this is a superb space day or night.

A few steps up lead into the KITCHEN/ DINING ROOM, where a generous 3m x 3m sky lantern really makes an impact, bringing in an abundance of natural light. The kitchen itself is well-equipped, with a central island, gas hob, electric oven, tiled splashbacks, and space for appliances. There are bi-fold doors to the rear, along with additional windows, keeping the space bright and connected to the outside at every turn. There’s plenty of room for a sizable dining table, and the high-level windows and timber balustrade add to the sense of height and openness.

There are three double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, which makes the layout particularly practical. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a standout room, with bi-fold doors opening to the front, a walk-in wardrobe, wall lights and a spacious EN-SUITE. The en-suite has the best of both worlds with both bath and separate shower, there is also a light tube, W.C., vanity wash hand basin, shaver point and wood effect flooring.

BEDROOM TWO is carpeted with a glazed door, two windows to the rear aspect and its own en-suite. The ensuite is fitted with a walk-in double shower, W.C., vanity wash hand basin, wood effect flooring and an extractor fan. BEDROOM THREE is yet again another double room similar to bedroom two having a glazed door with two rear aspect windows and its own en-suite. This en-suite comprises of a shower cubicle, vanity sink, W.C. and wood effect flooring.

Outside
Outside, the property continues to impress. To the FRONT a generous gravel driveway opens out into an area of hard standing, with plenty of space for multiple vehicles or visiting guests. There’s a substantial timber BARN with power and water, offering a range of potential uses with double doors to the side. There is even a separate STUDIO/OFFICE building with its own bathroom -ideal for working from home or as a creative space.

The grounds are varied and attractive, with lawned areas near the house leading down to a more natural, rural setting full of biodiversity. There’s a timber built shed, complete with a water feed which would make the perfect animal shelter at the bottom of the plot with the land extending round bordering the river to a point. There is a bridal way and foot path which run across the top part of the land with the land then extending over the river to the bank beyond. There is a tack access to the top part of the plot with a gated entrance to the main gravel driveway. The road leading up to the property is owned by the home until it is taken over by the council at the corner section. To the REAR of the home is a gravel seating area, perfect for evening drinks or a fire pit with friends and family.

Sustainability has clearly been a priority here. The property benefits from 21 solar panels, supported by a 10kW battery storage system, helping to reduce energy costs and reliance on the grid. An air source heat pump provides efficient, low-carbon heating, alongside wet underfloor heating throughout the house, giving a steady and comfortable warmth. Combined with modern construction and high levels of insulation, it’s a home designed to be both environmentally responsible and economical to run.

We have been told that that the house produces around £600 per year back from the solar power that is generated.

Overall, this is a thoughtfully designed modern home in a lovely setting, offering space, flexibility, and a strong emphasis on energy-efficient living.
We have been told that the home is in two separate plots but is being sold together.

It is due to be council tax banded but we await council confirmation.
