Description
A spacious bungalow set in 1.26 acres of garden with panoramic views with separate accommodation for potential rental income.
The Dwelling - This detached bungalow sits in an elevated position with panoramic views of the coast and countryside. Residing a plot of 1.26 acres approx, Copplestones has been extended and modernised, resulting in an impressive property of generous proportions. For those looking for an additional income, the property has a fully insulated studio and a 2-bedroom lodge with potential for use as an Airbnb. The grounds are extensive and separated into a number of different areas.
The Property - The property is accessed through a recent extension clad in cedar. Here you will find a boot room/utility room, perfect for rural living. There is also a cloakroom located here. The kitchen is of particular note, spacious and wonderfully light, it has large glass door which frames the beautiful view perfectly. The kitchen itself has a number of integrated items including a wine fridge, steam oven and a Gagenhau gas hob set in the granite work surface. There is space for a table to sit 8 to 10 people. Moving forward the sitting room still has some original features including the wood floor and elm wood dividers. The room is centred around the wood burner at the far end. Large sliding doors open out onto the elevated terrace and the vista.
To the rear of the property is a central hall way with 4 double bedrooms off. The principle bedroom has a wall of built in storage and a wonderful ensuite with bath. The family shower room consists of a walk in shower, basin and WC.
Outside - Set in the 1.26 acres approx are two outbuildings, both with potential to generate income if so desired. There is a fully insulated garden studio with power and water. At the very top of the plot, well away from the main accommodation is a two double bedroom lodge which is in good order and with a wood burner, also blessed with the view like the house below. Off the property an elevated decked terrace provides an excellent place to enjoy the view and is ideal for al fresco dining. The garden itself has a number of areas including a wild flower garden dotted with mature shrubs and trees, a hot tub, as well as a productive garden with a poly tunnel, green house and a number of sheds including a wood store. Beyond the lodge is finally a fruit orchard.
Situation - The property lies in the village of Morcombelake, which has a well stocked farm shop. The sea is accessible at Chideock and Charmouth, with walking along the coast path. The market town of Bridport lies approximately 4 miles to the East. Bridport has a history of rope-making and is now a gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage coastline at nearby West Bay. It has a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, public houses and restaurants catering for a range of tastes andexcellent arts and music events. Bridport is conveniently placed for Dorchester and Weymouth to the east and Axminster to the west. Walking, water sports and riding opportunities are plentiful in the area.
