West Gables Close, Bridport

Imposing detached, four bedroom, house with huge potential in a generous plot, a walk to Bridport town centre.

The Property - The property was built in the early 1990s in the grounds of a large Edwardian property, in order to take full advantage of its position a short walk to Bridport town centre and tucked away in a peaceful position along a private road. The property sits to the centre of a large plot that, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent, could be substantially extended if so required. The property has warm reconstituted stone elevations and a tiled roof.

The property has generous living accommodation on the ground floor centred around a large hallway, with an equally light and airy landing above. To one end of the house there is a good square drawing room, with a Jetmaster fireplace as its focal point with, to one side, sliding doors onto the rear gardens. To the centre of the house there is a formal dining room, beside which there is a cloakroom and a utility room with its own entrance onto the back garden. To the other end of the house there is a kitchen/breakfast/living room that stretches from the front to the rear of the property, with a kitchen area to one end, a dining area to the centre and a living area to the other end. The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive range of floor-mounted units and cupboards with laminate work surfaces over and the floor is laid to ceramic tile. Upstairs there four good-sized bedrooms the principal of which has an ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms have a family bathroom, while two of the bedrooms are fitted with an array of wardrobes. The property is in need of some modernisation, has engineered Oak floors in the hall and on the landing, has gas fired central heating, an intruder alarm system, a camera security system and double glazing.

Outside - To the front of the property is a gated access flanked by wall, giving way to a substantial area of gravel that provides parking and turning for a number of cars with, to one side, access to a garage. To the other side there is a formal area of garden laid to lawn. To the rear of the property the gardens are organised for ease of maintenance, with a large terrace that stretches much of the width of the house and provides an excellent outside entertaining area during the summer months, beyond which the garden is laid to one side to lawn and the other to gravel. The lawn is enclosed by a number of former herbaceous borders which have been laid to slate and will make a good blank canvas for the keen gardener. There are two sun awnings to the rear of the property, one off the kitchen the other off the sitting room.
