Magdalen Lane Bridport
Semi Detached
SITUATION: The property is approached off Magdalen Lane on the western fringe of Bridport, by a short no-through lane feeding just four properties. This cluster of homes enjoys a "secret" location and a good degree of privacy and tranquillity. There are easily accessible walks into the open countryside and to the coast and there is a corner ship closeby as well as the Leisure Centre and footpath across a recreational ground into South Street, Bridport. St Mary's primary school and the bus station are also only a walk away.
Bridport is a vibrant and popular town with mainly individual shops, a twice-weekly street market, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool, vintage and artists's studios and Bucky Doo Square in the town centre hosts many bands, festivals and events all year round.
The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south with connecting walk/cycle paths from Bridport. Here there is a fishing/boating harbour, beaches and a wealth of marine and leisure pursuits and direct access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.
THE PROPERTY comprises a fine semi-detached Regency town house (but not Listed) with large, beautifully landscaped gardens and a carport/parking area and outbuildings. The house, gardens and outbuilding have recently undergone considerable renovation and improvements totally in keeping with the period and it now offers a quality modern lifestyle in a stunning characterful home. The aspects are pleasant and the first floor west-facing windows capture views of Colmers Hill in the distance.
The accommodation is well proportioned with large windows and high ceilings, facing east/west and has a substantial modern conservatory enjoying much light through most of the day and which offers "inside out" living to fully enjoy the mature, well established gardens. There is an abundance of character features including mainly exposed floor boards, picture rails, coved ceilings and original doors.
THE ACCOMMODATION comprises the following:
Storm porch over front door opening to:
ENTRANCE HALL with doors to UTILITY ROOM and BATHROOM with modern suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin and toilet, attractive fully tiled walls and flooring and plumbing for washing machine.
