Highacres, Loders, Bridport, DT6

A beautifully presented, detached 3 bed/2 bath village house with double garage/games room, parking and gardens affording magnificent views in a tranquil setting

SITUATION: The property lies just off the hammerhead of this quiet cul-de-sac in the Highacres development just a few minutes' walk from the local primary school, pub, modern village hall, church, recreational ground, allotments and community orchard. The property has immediate access onto the old railway line which links to a network of public footpaths and bridleways, ideal for exploring the scenic countryside and riverside walks.

The village of Loders has an active and vibrant community and there is so much to get involved with, with many clubs and activities at Loders Village Hall and there are groups monitoring and maintaining nature and habitats, local history as well as established annual events.

The popular market town of Bridport lies 3 miles away famous for its Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre, artists' and vintage quadrant, twice-weekly street market, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and mainly independent shops together with Bucky Doo Square in the centre of the town which hosts bands, events and festivities all year round.

The coastal village/resort of West Bay lies some 4 miles to the south with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastlne and South West Coastal Path.

THE PROPERTY comprises an attractive detached house built in 1993 featuring reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled, lined and insulated roof. The property has been in the same ownership for the last 10 years and has been improved, updated and re-decorated and is now beautifully presented throughout.

In the last 10 years, the accommodation has been slightly re-arranged upstairs to now provide 3 double bedrooms. There are new double-glazed windows throughout. A modern Grant oil-fired boiler has been installed and now operates using a Hive control system (with new oil tank) in the slightly altered utility room which provides additional shelving. The main bathroom and en-suite showers have advanced Mira shower systems and new electric heated towel rails in addition to the existing radiators. Outside, new patios and paths have been laid as well as an additional ramp to the side entrance providing easier access for bins or the less mobile. The double garage has been ceilinged, there is a remote-controlled roller door and this is now used as a games room, or can house 2 small vehicles if desired, and there is a private gravelled parking space adjoining.

There are magnificent views to be enjoyed and the gardens are well landscaped and benefit from being directly south-facing and are well enclosed by recently replaced wooden fencing.

The property is offered for sale with no forward chain and most of the contents are available by separate negotiation, if desired.

DIRECTIONS: On reaching the village of Loders, take the turning opposite Loders School into Smishops Lane and take the first turning right into Highacres and bear left at the 'T'. No 60 will be found on the right-hand side of the hammerhead.
