One of Bridport’s iconic hills and surrounding land. Watton Hill comprises one of the iconic hills surrounding Bridport on the northern side of the town adjoining Bradpole and Pymore. It is divided between several pasture paddocks, larger pasture enclosures, attractive woodland, and productive arable land. In all extending to 82.30 acres. For sale by private treaty as a whole or in up to five lots.

Location
Watton Hill is located on the northern edge of the market town of Bridport close to the villages of Bradpole and Pymore and about three miles from the world-famous Jurassic Coastline, all located within the historic and picturesque Dorset National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

The Land
Watton Hill is divided between several pasture enclosures and paddocks, some of which slope down to adjoin the residential gardens of the properties along St Andrews Road, and Knightstone Rise, which forms the eastern boundary of the land. On the southern side of the property is a parcel of mixed woodland running down to the southern boundary with the residential gardens of the properties along Claremont Road.

On the western side of the land are two parcels of gently sloping arable land with access from Pymore Road, which forms the western boundary of the property. Much of the land falls within one main parcel, except for the two arable field enclosures adjoining the Sir John Colfox Academy, which are separated from the main parcel by Gipsy Lane and Dodham’s Lane and form the northern boundary of the land. The land extends in all to 82.30 acres and is offered for sale as a whole or in five separate lots more specifically described below.

Given that Watton Hill is situated on the edge of Bridport, adjoining the residential development boundaries of the town (with part of Lot 3 falling within the development boundary), the land may have development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary consent.

Lot 5 comprises a gently sloping pasture paddock which adjoins Watton Hill to the east, St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School to the west, and the residential properties along Claremont Road to the south.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
