SITUATION: The property is located on the very north fringe of Bridport with on-road parking immediately to the front.

Situated just a few yards higher up from Hospital Lane, it is only a few minutes’ walk to Bridport Hospital with minor injuries unit and Allington Hill with walkway into Symondsbury

It is approximately a 0.75 mile walk into the town centre of Bridport with its mainly independent shops boosted by a twice-weekly street market, Art Centre, Electric Palace theatre/cinema, medical centre and dentists' practices, vintage and artists' quadrant and Bucky Doo Square which hosts bands, events and festivals all year round. Bridport also has a leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, various churches and has just been designated as a cultural centre of West Dorset.

The coast at West Bay lies almost 3 miles to the south and can be accessed via walkways/cycle routes and where there is a fishing/boating harbour, beaches and gateway to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a terraced Grade II Listed period cottage featuring mainly rendered elevations under a slate roof. A more modern 2-storey extension to the rear almost doubles the size and has glazed doors opening into the extensive rear garden. The property has been mainly sympathetically modernised and now benefits from double-glazed uPVC windows and doors, a gas stove to the dining room, gas central heating and hot water via a combi-boiler, good insulation, upgraded shower room, water softener and mainly sunken ceiling downlighters. There is still much charm and character to enjoy including exposed wooden floors, beams and stone wall, attractive fireplace surround, rustic kitchen fittings, dado rails, mainly high ceilings, range of built-in storage cupboards and extensive bespoke shelving.

The property faces east/west with a "green" view to the front and views to the rear over the town to distant hillsides The gardens and outbuildings provide a blank canvas for those looking to create a more productive area and for a potential home office/studio.
