Bedford Place, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 3NA

A fabulous Grade II listed three-bedroomed townhouse tucked away in an idyllic position just a stone's throw from the heart of this most sought-after market town, with a delightful and good-sized garden and parking.

THE PROPERTY Tucked away in an idyllic position at the end of a no through road, yet within a stone's throw from the heart of the vibrant town centre of Bridport, first glimpses of 28 Bedford Place are most impressive with its colour washed rendered façade and attractive sash windows.

From its elevated position the first floor even boasts views over the town to the sea.

Dating back to the late 18th century, the property is justifiably Grade II listed of architectural and historical importance, and has recently undergone a fastidious programme of works by the current owners resulting in very well-presented accommodation with a perfect juxtaposition of old and new.

The property is accessed via a pretty metal gate with a stone path leading up to the front door, which has a beautiful fanlight above.

Alongside the front door is a gravelled sitting area, a true sun trap and an ideal place for a morning cup of coffee away from the hustle and bustle of Bridport town.

There is also a gravelled parking area, so rare for a property of this age and type, and worth its weight in gold in Bridport.

On first entering this wonderful property there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with a large hall with pretty tiling and high ceilings, a fine example of why this period of architecture is so popular.

To the right is a fabulous sitting room, perfectly proportioned with high ceilings, tall sash windows, and an ornate fireplace and an open fire.

Also alongside the hall is a spacious reception room, ideal as a dining room, but could also be used as a TV/snug room, with a wooden staircase up to the first floor.

At the end of the hall is the kitchen, with attractive wooden flooring, incorporating a number of pretty wooden wall and base units, a Neff oven and ceramic hob, integrated dishwasher, and granite work surfaces and breakfast bar.

There is a door giving direct access to a pretty sitting area which then leads up to the garden.

At the far end of the kitchen is a very useful utility and boot room with a Velux window attracting a lot of natural light. This leads up to a separate newly fitted WC/cloakroom.

The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with three in total. The main bedroom is a very good size, with tall sash windows and superb built-in wardrobes.

It also boasts the most stunning views over Bridport and even a glimpse of the church and the sea. The third bedroom is currently used as a study.

There is also a newly fitted contemporary shower room with walk-in power shower and a linen cupboard on this floor.

OUTSIDE Worth a special mention is the pretty garden to the rear of the property, a very good size for a property in this location, (approx. 113 ft).

From the sitting area accessed from the kitchen door, steps lead up to two very useful attached brick outside stores, an undercover storage area, and a gravelled and paved area with a superb summer house overlooking the garden.

There is a large lawned area with well-stocked borders with a pretty brick wall running the length of the garden along one side, giving huge amounts of privacy.

At the far end is an absolutely superb eating terrace, ideal for entertaining, or sitting and taking in this most peaceful setting.

The garden is easily manageable and a safe haven for pets and children. All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic and very convenient location.

LOCATION 28 Bedford Place is situated in the bustling market town of Bridport, within walking distance to local primary and secondary schools, West Bay and the famous Jurassic Coastline, a World Heritage site.
