This compact Grade II listed ground-floor flat sits in the heart of Bridport, a short walk from shops, cafés and regular markets. The layout is single-level and easy to manage, with a cosy living room featuring a Victorian fireplace, a compact kitchen, one bedroom and a modern shower room. A small shared courtyard gives outdoor access without garden maintenance.
Practical running costs are reasonable: council tax band A and a below-average service charge. The building is traditionally constructed with solid brick walls and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The property is chain free, making a quick move possible for a buyer or investor who understands the building’s limitations.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with 75 years currently remaining. The owners say an 80-year extension is in progress, but until that is formalised many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The listed status will also restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or approval for work. There is no private parking and local crime is above average, which may matter to some buyers.
This is best suited to a confident first-time buyer able to proceed with cash or a specialist lender, or an investor seeking a low-maintenance town-centre let who accepts listed-building constraints. If you value location, character and single-floor living and can manage lease and listing issues, this central Bridport flat offers a straightforward, compact home.
