Nordons Bridport

Semi Detached

SITUATION: The property lies at the end of a quiet, private road, well shielded to the front by a high hedge giving it some privacy. The property is elevated, located on the south western slope of Bothen Hill. The centre of the village lies a half-mile walk away with its Parish Church, village hall, recreational ground and Nature Reserve with walkway through to the coast at West Bay.

The town centre of Bridport lies approx 1 mile away with a cut through across the meadows into South Street. Here, there is a vibrant community, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, Art Centre, twice-weekly street market, vintage and artists' quadrant, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and the central Bucky Doo Square which hosts bands, events and festivals throughout the year.

The coastal village/resort of West Bay lies some 2 miles to the south, with its beaches, fishing and boating harbour, water sports and access to the Jurassic Coast and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a semi-detached chalet-style house built in 1950 featuring attractive red-brick elevations under a tiled roof with a dormer window to the front and rear. It has been in the same ownership since new and has been generally well maintained but little updated. It has some quaint characteristics, namely two tiled fireplaces typical of the period and eaves shaping to the upstairs 2 bedrooms together with some exposed wooden floorboards. There are mainly double-glazed windows and the chimney pots have been capped.

The property enjoys much peace, privacy and seclusion and is now in need of modernisation and updating to meet today's lifestyle requirements.
