Meadow Court, Folly Mill Lane, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A beautifully renovated end terrace, ground floor 2 bed flat with lovely outlook across the river to the meadows and hillsides beyond and with garage, just a walk from the town centre

SITUATION: Meadow Court is a retirement development built in the 1980's comprising 40 one and two bedroomed flats grouped around a large central communal garden area. It is located at the end of a quiet lane (Folly Mill Lane) adjoining the riverside and meadows and just a half-mile walk from the town centre. This is an idyllic setting for an active retirement with the convenience of an easily accessed walkway leading directly to Morrisons supermarket and onwards to the scenic coast at West Bay, located less than 2 miles away.

The vibrant town centre of Bridport has a comprehensive range of mainly independent shops with a renowned twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, Art Centre, Electric Palace Theatre/Cinema, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and various eateries to suit most cultures and diets.

The central Bucky Doo Square hosts events and festivals throughout the year and there are many organisations, Churches and clubs covering most leisure interests or to get involved with, including well supported U3A groups.

The town has a medical practice, minor injuries' unit, dentists and chemists, with the main hospital at Dorchester, some 14 miles to the east.

THE PROPERTY comprises a ground floor flat on the western edge of the development overlooking the riverside and meadows and is, in our opinion, one of the best located in the development and also one of the most newly and tastefully renovated and it also has one of the few garages here. The property is also chain-free and offered with vacant possession.

Occupancy within this peaceful and secure complex is exclusively restricted to those over sixty years of age and Flat 1 has had the benefit of an extended lease. There are no communal facilities other than the stairways and delightful gardens and the development has a part-time manager with Anchor providing the overall management, giving peace of mind.

This flat was completely refurbished in 2022 with LED sunken ceiling lights throughout, plenty of sockets at raised level, new wood-effect laminate flooring with new carpets to the two bedrooms, a luxury shower room and comprehensively fitted kitchen with quality range of units and built-in appliances, modern pressurised hot water system and there are uPVC double-glazed windows and patio door, with some fine Swiss blinds.

The communal gardens are of a good size both within the centre and running alongside the river where the bank this side is higher than the opposite thus alleviating the possibility of flooding.

THE ACCOMMODATION affords a RECESSED FRONT PORCHWAY serving this block of four flats and opening to an ENTRANCE FOYER with staircase rising to the first floor flats and with storage cupboard under and cupboards housing the electric meters. A private door on the right-hand side opens to Flat 1.
ENTRANCE HALL with two built-in storage cupboards, one housing the recently installed Cloneplus Joule pressurized hot water system with slatted shelves over and the other affording coat racks and storage. Open way through to:
SITTING/DINING ROOM with sliding patio door with adjoining large side pane adjoining bringing in southerly sunshine and affording views over the meadows to distant hillsides. Dimmer light switch.
GALLEY-STYLE KITCHEN recently modernised to a high specification with quality range of wall and base cupboards and drawers with marble-effect worksurfaces and upstands and integrated appliances including a large upright fridge/freezer, cupboard housing with waist-height oven and a microwave, Bosch electric hob with extractor hood over and a ceramic single bowl, single drainer sink unit with mixer tap and southerly window over to delightful views.
BEDROOM 1 with square bay window to the north overlooking the communal garden.
BEDROOM 2/DRESSING ROOM with window to the similar aspect to the north.
SHOWER ROOM with very large shower cubicle with half floor-to-ceiling glazed screen, shaped handrails and towel holder, low level WC and wash basin with dual raised drawers under and double, mirror-doored medicine cabinet over. Attractive large-tiled splashbacks and cill to the obscure-glazed window to the side. Upright ladder radiator/towel rail.

OUTSIDE
There is a SINGLE GARAGE with up-and-over door in the block close by.

COMMUNAL GARDENS extend to the north with PERGOLA and seating and include DUSTBIN bays and CLOTHES LINES.

A side paved pathway with wrought iron pedestrian gate adjoins this flat and leads from the parking area to the rear of the property where the patio door can be accessed directly if preferred rather than using the communal entrance.

A paved patio area adjoins the patio door off the lounge and is decorated with patio flower pots and provides a sitting out area from which to enjoy the southerly communal lawns and views.
