SITUATION Coneygar Hill is a highly sought after private residential area, with properties rarely coming to market. It is just to the north of the town and within easy reach of the centre. Millennium Walk is very nearby with a footpath leading up Coneygar Hill. Bridport is a thriving and historic market town offering an excellent range of shopping, business and leisure facilities. Good local schools are very nearby. The immediate area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). West Bay and the stunning Jurassic Coast is within only a few miles. The larger centres of Dorchester, Yeovil and Weymouth are all within easy reach, with mainline rail services to London.
DESCRIPTION An elegant Victorian Gentleman's residence offering spacious, light and flexible accommodation with 1/3rd acre of established gardens, outbuildings and ample parking. Owing to its commanding and elevated position, there are beautiful views over the town to the sea. Tucked away in a very private location, it is still within easy walking distance of the amenities in Bridport Town. With wonderful high ceilings, large sash windows, open fireplaces, parquet flooring and wood panelling, the house has retained many of its charming original features.
ACCOMMODATION The accommodation is arranged over four floors making this an exceptionally flexible space to arrange to suit your needs. Presently, the lower ground floor houses the kitchen (with enviable walk-in larder), dining room and snug, with access to outside, gardens, courtyard and the various outbuildings.
The ground floor is entered via an impressive entrance hall with sweeping staircase giving access to the two main reception rooms, both with parquet flooring and fireplaces. The sitting room boasts stunning wood panelling to the walls and a bay window enjoying a garden aspect. In addition to the main receptions are a conservatory and study, as well as a WC.
On the first floor are two similarly sized bedrooms with fantastic garden and sea views, the principle bedroom with a walk-in dressing room and a spacious family bathroom. Whilst the second floor houses two double bedrooms and a smaller single as well as a shared bathroom, again with superb views out to sea.
Outside, the gardens amount to about one third of an acre with a sunny central lawn (formerly used for lawn tennis!) and a lower tier for growing fruit and vegetables within a walled garden.
Of note are the impressive beech and pine trees which are considered civic amenities and are visible from West Bay. Victorian stables offer potential for development (subject to necessary consents). The stables are currently used as stores.
The driveway offers parking for several vehicles in addition to a single garage.
