Blind Lane Close, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

An extended 3 bed/2 recep end-terrace house, quietly tucked away with south-facing garden and tandem parking on the northern fringe of Bridport

SITUATION: The property is located within Blind Lane Close which comprises a small cul-de-sac of various styles of property ensuring a mixed community on the edge of the village of Bradpole on the northern fringe of Bridport. There is large recreational ground and a play area close-by which hosts an annual village picnic.

The village hall is closeby offering a range of activities, a social club, Parish Church, butchers' shop and there is direct access to walks into open countryside or into the town. Both primary and secondary schools are within walking distance or a short drive away.

The vibrant town centre of Bridport is linked by various footpaths and cycle routes and lies some 2 miles to the south where there is a range of mainly independent shops and a thriving twice weekly street market, the vintage and artists' quadrant, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. Bridport also hosts many events and festivals all year round.

The coast at West Bay is approximately 4 miles due south with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a modern end-terrace house featuring brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof built in the 1990's and extended shortly afterwards to provide a lower-level sun/garden room with vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and double-glazed frontage opening to the southerly gardens.

The property has mahogany-effect double-glazed windows, modern mains gas-fired boiler providing central heating and has had some re-roofing carried out.

It now offers a reasonably spacious family home or for active retirement.
