SITUATION: The property is set on a large corner site tucked just behind Bridport Primary School with extensive gardens, outbuildings and parking. Hardy Road comprises a small close of mature bungalows which have been upgraded in recent years with their own individuality. There is a shortcut into the town centre (5-10 mins walk) and there are both primary and secondary schools within easy walking distance. The town centre is well reputed for its ambience, individual shops, twice-weekly street market, art centre, Electric Palace cinema/theatre, vintage and artists' markets, wide range of clubs and groups (including U3) and leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. There are regular annual events ranging from the carnival and torchlight procession to food and beer festivals, literary festival and many art/craft workshops and open studios.

The coast at West Bay lies just 2.5 miles to the south with its boating/fishing harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths.

THE PROPERTY comprises a substantial 'L'-shaped detached bungalow dating from the 1960's featuring reconstituted stone elevations under a Roman-style concrete tiled roof with modern uPVC windows affording good natural light and brightness to the interior.

Cherished under the same ownership for many years, there are some unusual features to be enjoyed, particularly a prevalence of stained glass window features and decorative detail to the interior.

Without doubt, this site is one of the best in Bridport as it is fairly level and private and enjoys two gated vehicular entrances opening to extensive parking areas suitable for mobile home, boat or parking for several cars, outbuildings including a garage and carport and secret garden spaces beautifully landscaped and established with a pond and rear decked balcony enjoying much privacy and seclusion.

There is some scope for updating if required and there is no forward chain.

DIRECTIONS: From the centre of Bridport travelling east along East Street, take the first exit off the roundabout into Sea Road North (Beaminster Road). Take the first turning left (just before the Co-op) and turn second right into Coneygar Lane. Hardy Road is the first turning on the left. No 1 is the first property on the left.

OUTSIDE
Substantial painted wrought-iron double front gates open to a driveway off Hardy Road leading to the side of the property where there is plenty of parking provision and leads to the lower parking area which has an additional vehicular gated access off Coneygar Road.

The gardens to the front provide a well screened and planted garden with large pond and arbour and pathway to the front door. A second arbour the other side of the drive hides a multi-purpose area also screening the bins.

To the rear is a well enclosed composite sitting out terrace with steps down to the rear garden enjoying sunshine for most of the day and comprising lawns with well planted herbaceous borders.

A small flight of stairs from here leads down to the pedestrian door to the garage which has a potting shed and store/workshop adjoining as well as a carport, all benefitting from power and light. This is a sizeable detached outbuilding area suitable for a variety of purposes.

The gardens provide seating areas for enjoyment throughout the seasons and taking full view of the wildlife and habitat.
