Detached house for sale in Claremont Gardens, Bridport DT6

Delightful detached four bedroom house with wonderful views and a short walk to the town centre.

Dwelling

This house is all about the position and style. The property sits in an elevated position with panoramic views across the town roofscape to the countryside, taking in Thorncombe Beacon and Colmers Hill. Having been extended by a previous owner and then stylishly refreshed and re-organised by the current incumbent, this is not your standard property, and has some generously proportioned rooms. A highlight is the lovely sitting room that is part vaulted, and has large sliding door picture windows, that take in the sunsets each evening, allowing in a huge amount of South and West light, which further enhances the feeling of space throughout the property.

Accommodation

The property is conventionally arranged around a central hallway with a porch and a cloakroom off. The dining room lies to the front of the property with a fireplace as its focal point and double doors through to the sitting room. The twin sliding double doors blur the divide between the living and garden space during the summer months, while behind the sitting room there is a second kitchen that originally formed part of a self-contained ground floor annex with a shower room behind. The annex could easily be reinstated if required. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted unit cupboards, with integral appliances that include a gas hob and an electric double oven. Beyond the kitchen there is a useful utility room with both front and rear access. Upstairs, there are four good bedrooms, three of which with built-in wardrobes, served by a second shower room. The property is given continuity throughout, with the use of quality joinery with oak & stripped wood doors, a lovely oak staircase and some reconditioned parquet floors downstairs. The property is in outstanding decorative order, with UPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating.

Outside

To the front of the property there is a raised parking area to the right, and a formal garden to the left that is laid to lawn with an area of herbaceous planting to one side. The gardens to the rear are a particular feature of the property, with an area of paved terrace stretching the width of the house which makes an ideal outside entertaining area during the summer months. Below is a more formal garden that is beautifully landscaped, with an array of herbaceous plants, shrubs and some tree planting to the edges, with an area of formal lawn to the centre. A pergola topped archway leads through to a less formal area of a vegetable garden with a greenhouse to one side and a timber garden shed to the other. In addition to this, the former garage has been divided into two which provides storage to the front and a workshop to the rear.

Situation

The property is situated on the northern side of the town centre, a short walking distance from all the shops and amenities. Bridport has a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It has a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes and excellent arts and music events. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area. Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
