Detached bungalow for sale in Meadway, West Bay, Bridport DT6

Exceptional and beautifully engineered detached 2/4 bedroom property in a peaceful location close to the sea at West Bay.

The Property

All is not what it seems at Kenmore. Although the original property was built in the 1930s, in 2009/10 the property was all but demolished with the exception of one wall and rebuilt to create an exceptional and thoughtfully organised property, built to a high specification. The property occupies an elevated position with views from the first floor across West Bay to East Cliff and the sea at West Beach and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a prestigious private estate, just a short walk to both the beach and local shops. In fishing parlance this is a catch!

The accommodation is organised around two hallways, with an entrance hall that leads through to a central hallway off which the principal ground floor rooms are accessed. The main living space of the house lies on the south side with a family/living room to one end with double doors that lead through to a dining room/kitchen with the dining room to the centre and the kitchen to the other end. The family/living room is a particularly attractive and spacious vaulted room with double doors to one side opening onto the gardens with the facing wall clad in attractive limestone complete with fossils. The dining room lies to the centre and has space for a substantial dining table beyond which is a fully fitted kitchen with an island to its centre and a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units with granite worktops over. Integral to the kitchen are an induction hob, an electric oven with warming tray, a combination oven that includes a microwave, a dishwasher, a coffee machine, a wine cooler and a fridge freezer. On the East side of the property a study gives way to a snug that has a focal point of the fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove with double doors to one end into the garden. It has been suggested that by installing a door to one side and closing up the archway between the two rooms two bedrooms could be created. In addition downstairs there is a WC and utility/shower room that leads through to a second study that has been organised to be turned into a sauna. All the flooring on the ground floor is ceramic tile with the exception of the study and the sitting room. The upstairs is reached via a lovely oak staircase and there are two good bedrooms the principle of which has an array of built-in wardrobes and cupboards. Both bedrooms are served by a bathroom that is fully tiled and has both a air bath and a double sized shower complimented by twin wash hand basins. The flooring upstairs is a quality laminate with the bathroom having electric underfloor heating.

The attention to detail is apparent throughout with a well organised gas fired central heating system, gas and electric heating organised in many of the rooms should the gas supply fail, the property is fully double glazed, has an intruder alarm and is beautifully decorated throughout.

Outside

To the front of the house there is parking for a number of cars with to one side a large garage equipped with an electric roller blind door and light, power and running water. The garden to the front of the house is terraced and organised for ease of maintenance with an area laid to gravel on one terrace and second terrace laid to lawn punctuated by number of shrubs. On the south side of the property there is a second area of parking. To the rear of the property the gardens can be divided into three. On the south side of the house there is an enclosed garden with a lawn to its centre, edged by paving with an open timber outbuilding to one corner that takes in the best of the sun. On the west side of the property there is a second area of lawn that gives way to an area of hardstand that has 2 substantial timber sheds upon and a greenhouse. On the north side of the house there is a third area that is ideal for avoiding the noon day sun in the height of summer with both a covered area and an open area laid to paving that makes a good shady outside entertaining area.
