Cherry Tree Bridport

Terrace

SITUATION: The property is one of terrace of similar properties located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the north-western fringe of Bridport. There is a recreational ground close by together with Woodland Trust public open space and walks over Allington Hill. There is a bus service from the bottom of the road into town and there are cut-through walks to both primary and secondary schools.

Bridport town centre has a good range of shops with a twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, Electric Palace theatre/cinema and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. The doctors and dentists lie approximately a mile distant together with Waitrose and the bus station.

The coast at West Bay lies some 3 miles away by road, but there is also close by access onto footpaths/cycle routes directly to the coast.

THE PROPERTY comprises a mid-terrace house featuring brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof dating from the 1960's and was a former council house. It was updated in the 1980's and has been well maintained but little improved since. The property has uPVC double-glazed windows and doors bringing a good degree of natural light to the interior and electric heating with mainly serviceable fittings. However, there is good scope for cosmetic improvement and potential for adding a conservatory and creating a car parking space to the frontage, subject to any necessary planning permissions.

There are delightful views over the town (including the Town Clock) to the distant hillsides with skyscapes above. Whilst the garden lies on the north side, it is part-bathed in sunshine for most of the day and is of a good size and well enclosed with a back entrance.

The property is offered with vacant possession and no forward chain.

Towards the end of the built-up area, turn left into Hospital Lane and then first right into Cherry Tree. The property is tucked within the first right-hand cul-de-sac.
