The Old Shipyard Centre West Bay Dorset
Apartment
SITUATION: The property is located on the first floor of the development known as The Old Shipyard Centre, considerably sheltered from stormy weather but with views over the sea and coastline and affording the most amazing skyscapes.
West Beach and the sea are just a minutes' walk away and the property lies centrally along the main promenade. West Bay is a coastal village with a high tourist influx and there is a convenience store close by, kiosks and restaurants, beaches, fishing/boating harbour and there are many marine activities catered for, including gig rowing, canoeing, paddle-boarding, para-gliding, wind-surfing, swimming clubs and water polo. There is also a golf club on East Cliff and direct access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.
There are walkways, cycle routes and a bus service into the adjoining vibrant town of Bridport which lies some 2 miles to the north. Bridport offers mainly independent shops, a renowned twice-weekly street market, good Art Centre, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, artists' and vintage quadrant, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and Bucky Doo Square in the town centre hosts bands, events and festivals all year round.
There are so many opportunities for those who wish to get involved whilst others can simply enjoy the ambience of the town and coast.
THE PROPERTY is the end one of a wing of purpose-built flats built in the late 1960's extending on 2 floors within The Old Shipyard Centre development which features brick elevations under a flat roof. This flat lies within a corner and enjoys windows to the East Cliff as well as north across the caravan park to distant hills and has a glazed triangular frontage enjoying views directly to the promenade and sea to the south. The only approach is via a spiral concrete staircase with metal handrails leading to an outside landing leading to the front door.
This is one of some 100 flats within this development managed by Evolve and has a share of the freehold. Renovations of the exterior are on-going and there is a schedule of work in place to ensure that the property can be enjoyed well into the future. There is an accrued sinking fund and a budget of payments required in the forthcoming years.
The property is in excellent decorative order with modern Karndean flooring throughout and a recently updated shower room together with blinds fitted recently and has been a successful holiday letting. It is offered for sale with appliances and main furniture to continue the holiday letting business, but could easily be occupied and enjoyed as a private holiday retreat or a full-time home for those seeking the sea.
