Enjoying a grandstand position at the end of this no-through road, this handsome home has been beautifully refurbished by the current owner and, with every principal room having a coastal view, it is utterly captivating.
On the GROUND FLOOR, the entrance leads via an inner lobby to the DINING HALL. The sense of space and light is immediately apparent, and whilst on a practical note, the GUEST CLOAKROOM is located just off the hall, the open plan arrangement of the dining area leading through to the now fully enclosed LOGGIA maximises the sea views from every angle. Sliding doors from the loggia lead to the external terrace which works perfectly when entertaining family or friends.
From the dining/hall, a door leads to the SITTING ROOM. A fine brick fireplace with a fitted wood-burner adds a cosy note for the cooler evenings and, with open access to the loggia, it seamlessly blends with the easy flowing ground floor arrangement.
On the opposite side of the house is a SNUG which again has the most wonderful views, and light flooding in from two windows; it also has the benefit of an enclosed wood burner in a fine Portland stone fireplace. The KITCHEN diner is newly fitted with a smart range of units providing plentiful storage, under a solid timber work surface with those all-important views from the kitchen sink! Appliances include two electric double ovens, induction hob with extractor, wine cooler, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine and tumble dryer. A stable door gives access to a tiled utility area which runs along the back of the house and is currently used for storage/extra fridge freezers and for the owners' dogs. There is a handy door giving access outside at the end of the utility area.
Stairs from the dining hall lead up to the FIRST FLOOR where there are FOUR BEDROOMS, all of which are double rooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is fitted with a range of mirror-fronted wardrobes, and both this room and BEDROOM TWO have sliding glazed doors to the partially enclosed loggia on this floor. From this sheltered position, the most magnificent views can be enjoyed. BEDROOMS 3 & 4 also have direct sea views. There are also TWO BATHROOMS, one of which has a corner bath with a shower over, together with a WC and wash-hand basin, and the other has a double shower cubicle, WC and wash-hand basin.
From the landing there is access via a large hatch to a converted attic space which has been used as a study with Velux™ windows and access hatches to ample eaves storage. NB: It should be noted that PLANNING PERMISSION was granted 15 March 2021 (application no WP/20/00911/FUL) to convert the roof space into a further bedroom with ensuite shower/bathroom plus an office/or additional bedroom. Purchasers must make their own further enquiries if of interest.
The property also benefits from a Solar PV system and battery.
Outside
The tiered landscaped garden has an almost Mediterranean feel with planting carefully considered to reflect its coastal location. The creative design links one part of the garden to the other, providing colour and texture along the way. An inviting terrace is sheltered whilst encompassing the open views which are so compelling. It is possible to reach all sides of the house via a well-constructed pathway. There are a number of steps involved as is inevitable with this elevated position. A DOUBLE GARAGE with power and lighting lies at the foot of the property and there is a turning space opposite.
Location
The isle of Portland is steeped in maritime history and offers stunning coastal scenery, beaches and a multitude of outdoor pursuits. Home to an internationally renowned water sports centre, the National Sailing Academy and Portland Marina are at the foot of the island. Aside from sailing and boating, there is sea angling, wind/kite surfing, kayaking and diving. Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon are internationally protected for their birdlife: the Chesil Beach centre hosts indoor and outdoor activities to discover the copious wildlife above and below the water and explore the wonderful lagoon. There are various independent shops as well as supermarkets on the island, with many eateries from Quiddles on the esplanade at Chiswell (when you want a change of scene to enjoy those sunsets!) to the award-winning Crab House Cafe across the causeway. Transport includes regular and frequent daily bus services to nearby Weymouth with its award-winning sandy beach, where there is also a mainline London/Waterloo train station.
