3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A semi-detached 3 bed/2 bath modern village cottage tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of a West Dorset village surrounded by beautiful countryside and just 2 miles from the coast


SITUATION: The property is tucked into a quiet and tranquil modern cul-de-sac location close to the heart of the rural village of Shipton Gorge which lies south of the A35 and just 1.5 miles from the coast at Burton Bradstock which is famed for its Hive Beach Cafe and where there is a primary school, hall, excellent recreational/play area, 2 pubs, cliff-top restaurant, convenience store and farm shop/sub post office and access to the seaside and coastal paths.

The immediate village of Shipton Gorge is a village with a good community with its Co-operative pub, village hall, recreational ground and access to walks into the scenic countryside.

The vibrant town of Bridport lies some 2 miles to the west with its mainly independent shops boosted by a twice-weekly street market, good art centre, the Electric Palace theatre/cinema, vintage and artists' quadrant and the central Bucky Doo Square which hosts bands, events and festivities all year round.

The coast at West Bay lies some 2 miles to the west with its fishing/boating harbour, beaches and access to the Jurassic Coastline and South West Coastal Paths and provides many leisure and marine activities, with golf course on East Cliff and well-supported gig-rowing club.

Outside, the property has a driveway providing parking and leading to the detached single garage/workshop with attractive, well fenced but easily manageable gardens to the rear.

The property is offered with no forward chain .
