SITUATION AND AMENITIES Hillview is situated in the picturesque village of Swyre which nestles amidst the rolling West Dorset hills in the Bride Valley close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. The village sits between Bridport and Abbotsbury along one of the most breathtaking coastal stretches with good access to Chesil beach at the nearby West Bexington and Weymouth and the County Town of Dorchester, both with mainline rail service to London Waterloo. Swyre has a pretty village church and the nearby village of Puncknowle has a friendly public house. More amenities can be found at Burton Bradstock which has a petrol station, post office, church, a well regarded school and a charming beach side caf?. Bridport lies six miles to the west and offers a quirky artisan atmosphere with a good range of local shops and eateries. Bridports mainstream amenities include restaurants and hotels, a cinema, art centre and leisure centre, supermarkets, a museum, a health centre and a number of excellent primary schools and secondary schooling. Further along the coast lies the larger conurbation of Weymouth which is hosting the 2012 Olympic waterside games. DESCRIPTION Hillview is a character filled 1960s chalet bungalow that has been lovingly extended and improved upon by the current owners. The house enjoys a secluded elevated position affording spectacular views over its own garden and the countryside beyond. The house is of a tastefully washed render beneath a tiled roof, benefitting from wooden clad Dorma windows, one with a Juliet balcony. The present owners opened up the downstairs living accommodation which has created a home with light and spacious rooms and proportions. The good sized family sitting room has French doors that lead directly on to the veranda, making this an ideal spot for al fresco dining or a relaxing sun downer. The house was also modernised at this time with a new oil fired central heating system, replacement UPVC sealed unit windows, a contemporary semi-open plan kitchen and quality bathroom fittings. The attention to detail stretches to the polished marble tiles used in the hall and porch, solid oak internal doors, oak staircase, wood clad Dormas and the well designed veranda. The master bedroom, on the ground floor, has an en-suite shower room whilst the guest bedrooms upstairs make the most of the glorious views and provide the house with a further two bedrooms and cloak room. All this work has been carried out to a high decorative finish. OUTSIDE The property stands in a secluded patch of West Dorset with a mature, well stocked garden. The gardens lie to the back and side of the property and are predominantly laid to lawn with a raised veranda, dotted with specimen trees and a variety of shrubs and flowers. Hillview boasts an ample forecourt which is accessed via a five bar gate ideal for private parking, from which you can also access the large detached double garage/ workshop which has light and power connected and remote up and over door.
