Pine View, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A spacious and beautifully renovated 3 bed family house on the western fringe of Bridport with well landscaped and planted gardens with views and a garage/store

SITUATION: The property is situated on the western fringe of the market town of Bridport in a quiet crescent known as Pine View. Close-by, there is a corner shop, access to walks both into the town centre and to the coast, a primary school, recreational grounds, allotments and the Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool as well as the Medical Centre. Bridport has a large and twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre and the central Bucky Doo Square hosts events and festivals all year round.

The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with its ancient fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths. West Bay also offers a wide variety of eateries as well as marine and leisure pursuits.

THE PROPERTY was built in 1969 featuring brick elevations with part tile-hung elevations under a concrete tiled roof. This property has been thoroughly updated over the recent years including new oak internal doors and insulation to roof space and external walls, a new mains gas central heating system with radiators throughout and modern electrics with a smart meter - all considerably cutting fuel expenses. There is also a modern kitchen and bath/shower room, new double-glazed windows, oak effect flooring, a good flow of natural light to the interior and the most delightful views over Colmers Hill from the long rear garden which backs onto open fields.

The front and rear gardens accommodate both re-wilding and herbaceous borders, with a patio, lawns, wildlife pond, allotment beds and sitting areas from which to enjoy the views to Colmer Hill and a substantial shed with cold frame/greenhouse extension. Trained fruit trees and shrub roses are widely planted in the gardens.
