Description

Let’s Take a Look Inside
Step through a quaint private passageway and into a property that punches above its weight. A small entrance porch welcomes you, ideal for coats, boots and beach bags, before leading into a bright, open-plan living space.

The kitchenette has been thoughtfully updated, offering a compact but stylish space to whip up a meal or host brunch with the doors open to the courtyard. A lovely bay window nook at the front is perfect for a small dining table, a reading chair, or even a mini home office setup.

The living area is cosy but clever, with room for a small sofa and the kind of warm, inviting atmosphere you'd expect from a property with this much personality. The property has been fully renovated to a high standard.

Upstairs – A Clever Use of Space
The double bedroom on the first floor has been reconfigured to maximise storage, with alcove shelving and a neat layout that makes smart use of the space. Thanks to the relocation of the boiler downstairs, there's now more room to breathe.

The adjoining shower room is well-presented and functional, completing the upstairs layout.

Outside – Your Own Sunny Corner of Bridport
Step outside into your private, south-facing courtyard – a peaceful little retreat where you can escape the hustle and bustle without ever leaving town. Whether it's a potted herb garden, café-style seating, or a lounger for soaking up the sunshine, it’s a surprisingly versatile space for a property of this size.

Access is via a shared passageway off Barrack Street, and residential parking permits are available nearby.

This is a home that works hard, feels good, and offers big lifestyle perks in a compact footprint. Whether you're dreaming of a weekend escape or building your property portfolio, this one’s a rare find.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
  • ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
