Description

This individual detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment, set within expansive gardens that offer stunning coastal and sea views. Located in the highly sought-after village of Charmouth, this property benefits from proximity to the village center and is just a short distance from the beach. Constructed in the 1930s, this bungalow features traditional design elements with rendered color-washed elevations. Having been under the same ownership for approximately 45 years, it has maintained its charm while also offering significant scope for improvement. The spacious layout includes a welcoming entrance lobby, reception hall, living room with a large bay window that frames the picturesque views, and an impressive uPVC conservatory that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. The property consists of three well-sized bedrooms, alongside a shower room/WC and an additional separate WC. Noteworthy features include high ceilings, picture rails, ornate stone fireplaces, along with original larder cupboards and internal doors that reflect its period character. While the interior remains in tidy condition with recent updates such as new gas-fired central heating and uPVC windows/doors, it would greatly benefit from general refurbishment to realize its full potential. There is ample opportunity to enhance the existing space or consider a loft conversion to add extra bedrooms or living areas. Outside, the generous plot spans approximately 0.4 acres and offers breathtaking coastal views over well-maintained lawns complemented by a paved terrace and apple trees. Accessed via double gates leading to a long driveway, the property also includes a detached garage with an adjoining workshop/store. Charmouth itself is renowned for its stunning position on the Jurassic Coast, recognized as an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and World Heritage status. The village provides excellent local amenities including shops, restaurants, and schools—both primary education and secondary options are highly regarded in the area. With easy access to countryside walks and nearby attractions such as Lyme Regis and Bridport, this location is not only desirable for residential living but also presents an attractive investment prospect for potential buyers interested in developing a new home or enhancing an existing one. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for those looking for swift acquisition opportunities within this vibrant coastal community.
