Property description

Elegant and classic Grade II Listed four-bedroom Georgian townhouse, a short walk to the beach and the town.

This house is a classic period property with all the character features one would expect of a Georgian townhouse, with beautifully proportioned rooms, large casement windows, high ceilings, open fireplaces and flagstone & plank floors. Add to that parking - always at a premium in Bridport, a South and West facing garden, a position that is within walking distance of both the beach and the town centre and you have it all.

The accommodation is arranged over four floors with the living areas on the ground floor and lower ground floor and sleeping areas on the first and second floors above. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with a sitting room to the front of the property, with a lovely marble fireplace as its focal point and a bedroom/study to the rear that takes in the views out to the West, which could double as a formal dining room. The lower ground floor is undoubtedly the daytime hub of the house and is an unusually generously proportioned kitchen/dining room that is equipped with a comprehensive range of contemporary floor mounted units and cupboards, with space for a very large dining table to its centre. This space in turn flows through to a garden room that has a part-glazed roof, with double doors to one side to the terrace and gardens bringing the outside in. Beyond the garden room there is a bathroom/cloakroom equipped with both a bath and a fully tiled shower. On the first floor there are two good bedrooms, served by a bathroom also equipped with a bath in the shower and on the second floor there are two further bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms having the benefit of an ensuite wet room. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout and has gas fired central heating.

To the front of the property there is a formal garden laid to lawn with areas of herbaceous and shrub planting to the edges and stone paved path that leads up to the front door. To the rear of the property there is a large stone terrace that faces South and West as does as do the gardens beyond, which are set out with a formal lawn to to the centre with edging with herbaceous and shrub planting to the edges. Within the garden there is a magnificent Palm tree, a lovely Magnolia and an Apple tree, while to the end of the garden there is a second area of paved terrace. The garden is for the most part walled with timber fencing to the end, beyond which there is parking for 2 to 3 cars and to one corner a useful tin shed. Double gates from the parking area lead through to the hardstand/paved terrace to the rear that will provide further parking so required.
