This compact ground-floor apartment offers a practical entry point into Bridport living with clear advantages for first-time buyers. At around 359 sq ft the layout is efficiently arranged as an open-plan living/kitchenette, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a wetroom. The property benefits from a very long 999-year lease and a single garage, both unusual at this price point.
The flat sits on the eastern fringe of town with a pleasant view toward South Street Church Tower and Colmer Hill, and a public footpath gives a roughly ten-minute walk into the town centre. There is easy pedestrian access to countryside routes and the coastal village of West Bay, making this a good base for outdoor recreation and local amenities.
The build dates to the late 1970s/early 1980s and the kitchen was refitted in 2010. There is scope for improvement and cosmetic updating throughout, which presents potential to add value. Heating is by electric night storage and convector heaters — straightforward but potentially costly to run compared with gas or modern systems.
Service charges are modest (£804 in 2025) and the property is held as a share of freehold on a 999-year lease, reducing long-term ownership concerns. Buyers should note the small overall size and the need for some updating; the flat will suit purchasers seeking an economical, well-located starter home or a low-maintenance investment with parking.
