SITUATION: No 8, Townsend Way, is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac road just off Annings Lane which is a quiet residential road to the north of the village centre. Burton Bradstock is one of the most sought-after villages in West Dorset with period stone and thatch cottages and houses. The village offers useful local facilities including a general store, post office/stores, church, two inns, garage, library and primary school and recreational ground. The sea is about 0.5 mile away with the famous Chesil Beach and known as the Jurassic Coast.
