Hillview, Bradpole, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A 2 bed detached bungalow now in need of modernisation on large elevated corner plot with driveway to the rear providing ample parking, garaging, greenhouses and workshop space. No forward chain.

SITUATION: The property occupies a generous corner plot with driveway access off Hillview extending to the rear of the property and affords a large garden with a good range of garaging and outbuildings. The site is elevated and well established with some ancient trees to the west, shielding the property from the B3066 Beaminster Road, with the Sir John Colfox School just opposite.

Whilst the open countryside affording good walks is close by, the property is also within easy walk of bus stops into Bridport and Beaminster, the village hall and recreational area, a social club, Parish Church and butcher's shop.

The vibrant town of Bridport lies some 2 miles to the south with its good range of mainly individual shops, twice-weekly street market, art centre, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, vintage and artists' quadrant and hosts a wide variety of festivals and events all year round.

The coast at West Bay, a further 2 miles distant, provides access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Path and enjoys a fishing/boating harbour, beaches and a wide range of leisure and marine pursuits.

THE PROPERTY comprises a mature detached bungalow featuring brick and rendered elevations under a tiled roof with sloped driveway leading up the side of the property to the main garden, garage/workshops and parking area. There are some views to distant hillsides to be enjoyed and the property enjoys very good natural light from large windows and a mainly south aspect. There are some features of the period still intact, including high skirtings and original wood-panelled doors with a couple of vintage Bakelite door knob accessories.

The accommodation is practical for a retired couple or small family and affords some scope for further improvement/extension and there is no forward chain.

The large corner plot garden is a delight with established borders, trees and bushes giving all year round colour and the 2 workshop/garages provide space for hobbies or home working.
