St. Andrews Road, Bridport

A handsome and substantial Victorian house in a very exclusive location with lovely views over the town to the sea beyond. EPC: D

The Property - Coneygar Grove is a fine and very impressive semi-detached Victorian house, with extensive gardens in a very exclusive, private and peaceful location, with lovely views over the town to the surrounding countryside and to the sea beyond. It has a very interesting history, having been built 1863 for a Reverend (as was the neighbouring property, Sparacre House) and has classic red brick Victorian elevations under a slate roof.

Under the current ownership since 2010, the house has been subject to extensive and sympathetic refurbishment, alteration and enlargement, to a very high standard.

The many impressive and comprehensive features include gas-fired central heating (with cast iron style radiators and part underfloor), polished limestone flagstone flooring, the building of a stunning orangery with aluminium powder-coated windows/bi-folding doors, quality contemporary kitchen with extensive units (wall cupboard incorporating electric doors), quartz worktops with breakfast bar and Fisher & Paykel cooker range (Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and fridge/freezer may also be available by negotiation), quality bathroom/shower rooms and much more.

The house has three separate heating zones and the majority of the sash windows were overhauled in 2011.

The gracious accommodation is very well presented, well proportioned and extensive, being arranged over three principal floors, together with extensive basement rooms.

The house still retains a whole number of original features, typical of its age and type, including high ceilings, deep skirting boards, fine staircases, sash windows, bay windows, original floorboards, ornate cornices, panelled doors, ornate fireplaces including marble, the original servants’ bells, brick and flagstone flooring and the former scullery cooker range.

Briefly, the accommodation extends to:

Basement - Long corridor/room, laundry room with external door to porch and outside, coal store/preparation room, storeroom, secondary storeroom, wine store former scullery.
Ground floor -Orangery with rooflight, reception hall with broom cupboard, large drawing room (formerly two rooms) with a pair of fine marble fireplaces, large kitchen/dining room, cloakroom, large porch/storeroom with sliding doors.

Second floor -Landing with stairs to Widows Watch (designed for the original owner’s wife to look out to sea), store/boiler room and additional attic space, inner lobby, bedroom 4, bedroom 5 with external fire exit, bedroom 6, kitchen, bathroom

The lovely garden and grounds are a further feature, being attractively landscaped to a very high standard and there is also extensive parking with ample scope for garaging, if required.

Coneygar Grove is an exceptional house of quality, which is rarely available on the open market in Bridport, viewing is, therefore, strongly recommended by the sole selling agent, Stags.

Outside - Coneygar Grove is approached over a private shared road (under nearby separate ownership with no maintenance contribution required), this leads to the property’s own large newly laid tarmac in and out driveway with a central lawn together with shrubs and fountain feature.

The lovely main gardens are arranged over three levels with lawns, flower and shrub beds, extensive paved terracing with stone walls, pergola, summerhouse, shed and gazebo.

There are whole number of lighting zones.

The gardens are very private.

Adjoining the kitchen/dining room is a delightful, sheltered, walled and paved courtyard.

Situation - Coneygar Grove forms part of Coneygar Hill, a very sought after private residential area with properties rarely coming to the market. It is just to the north of the town and within easy reach of the centre. Millenium Walk is very nearby with a footpath leading up Coneygar Hill.
