Bettiscombe, Bridport

Substantial four bedroom detached house with an attached two bedroom annexe set in 0.616 acres with wonderful views in all directions across the Marshwood Vale.

Introduction - Conway House is all about scale, potential and position. The property is a substantial one that is currently organised as two properties lending itself to reconfiguration to suit the purchaser. The real joy of this property is however its position, which lies to the west end of the Marshwood Vale with wonderful country views in all directions with a particular highlight being the Westerly views towards Lambert’s castle across the former grounds of Marshwood Manor complete with huge mature oaks punctuating the landscape. This really is an opportunity not to be missed.

Accommodation - The main house is conventionally arranged around a hallway to its centre with a door through to the end into a sitting/formal dining room that looks over the valley below. The sitting area is arranged around a fireplace and to one end a sliding door leads out onto a terrace with a formal dining area to the other end. To the left-hand side of the hall a door leads through to a kitchen/ breakfast room, that is the main daytime living hub of the house again taking in the views with a fitted kitchen to one end and an everyday dining area to the other. To the right hand side of the hall there is a study that also has a doorway through to the annex while off the hallway there is an entrance porch with the cloakroom off.

Upstairs there are four good bedrooms the principle of which has substantial built-in wardrobes in an en suite bathroom with the three remaining bedrooms sharing shower room.

The Annexe - The annex is also spacious having a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a wet room all on the ground floor. Upstairs there is the second bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

The property has two contemporary kitchens, is fully double glazed, has oil fired central heating but is in need of some updating and modernisation.

Outside - To the front of the property double gates open into the driveway from the village lane to substantial area of parking with room for a number of cars with a detached garage to one side that is equipped with light, power and an up and over door. Beside the garage is a large greenhouse while behind there is a pergola topped terrace with the barbecuing area to one side that makes an ideal shady area during the height of the midday sun. Beside the house there is a substantial area of paved terrace which is ideal for outside entertaining during the summer months with the annex having its own similar terrace with both terraces sharing views out into their adjoining countryside. The garden surrounds property on all sides with formal areas of planting to the front of the property with less formal areas behind the house looking West. The gardens are fully enclosed with post and wire and mature hedge and for the most part laid to lawn punctuated by mature ornamental trees.
