Crock Lane, Bridport, Dorset, DT6

A spacious and light 3 bed detached bungalow with large conservatory area and useful basement below, garage and extensive parking and large gardens just a walk from the town centre

SITUATION: The property is located along Crock Lane which runs parallel to Sea Road South and off which there is linear development enjoying comparative quietness and mainly individual dwellings.

There is easy access to a network of countryside walks over Bothen Hill opposite, into the vibrant market town of Bridport approx a mile away across the meadows and connecting to pathways to the coast at West Bay where there is access to the Jurassic Coastline.

This is a highly popular location for enjoying easy access to the town. The village of Bothenhampton is approx 0.5 mile away with its active community, beautiful parish church, village hall, recreational ground and access to the nature reserve.

THE PROPERTY comprises an individual architect-designed, traditionally-built 1960's detached bungalow occupying a private and spacious plot. It is of traditional construction featuring some reconstituted stone detail to the front and stucco rendering to the sides and rear mainly under a concrete tiled roof with solar and PV panels on the roof and benefitting from uPVC double-glazed windows, soffits and bargeboards.

The property has been a much-loved home for many years and is generally well presented. There are some repairs on-going and there is scope for further improvement according to needs.

One of the best features of this property is the spacious accommodation which has the benefit of large windows attracting a good flow of natural light to the all rooms and the conservatory extension to the rear provides a lovely extra reception room enjoying views over the garden as well as over the town to distant hillsides. There is also no forward chain.

The property enjoys a long driveway adjoining the neighbour's drive which extends off of Crock Lane and leads to a gated PARKING AREA and the SINGLE GARAGE which adjoins the neighbour's garage and has a metal up-and-over door.

The front garden is set lower down from Crock Lane with a high boundary hedge to the east. This garden is hard-landscaped and provides an awned seating area adjoining the east elevation and enjoys a good degree of privacy and morning sunshine.

To the rear is a well enclosed, good-sized garden with lawns, fruit trees (including cooking and eating apples and pears) with spectacular magnolia tree, a natural pond area and a boundary ditch to the western edge. There is a greenhouse, dilapidated summerhouse and timber garden shed immediately to the rear and a low-height access door to the basement area underneath the conservatory providing useful storage with electric lights and power points.

There has recently been some flooding up the rear garden from the ditch on the western boundary but this has not entered the property.
