Description

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed former gatehouse in Dorset, located near the picturesque coastline. Dating back to the late 18th century, this home features striking Georgian architectural details such as a columned entrance and original exterior charm, reflective of its historical significance as part of the Highcliffe Castle estate. The property requires modernisation, making it an excellent project for those interested in restoring and enhancing its character. The interior presents an adaptable canvas; the ground floor includes an inviting portico entrance leading to a sitting room, staircase, and kitchen area. The first floor holds the potential to create two bedrooms along with a new bathroom installation. Outside, enjoy a private gated entrance with delightful original features and two designated parking spaces. Located just moments from Highcliffe's vibrant amenities—boutiques, cafés, restaurants—and within walking distance to stunning beaches and scenic cliff-top walks, this property not only serves as a charming residence but also boasts holiday rental potential or could be transformed into an investment opportunity for Airbnb. Travel connections are strong with nearby railway stations offering quick access to London and other coastal areas. Families will find reputable schools within proximity, enhancing the appeal for both living and investment purposes. This property is offered via online auction—a modern take on traditional auctions—allowing bids via an online platform on set dates. Ensure you review all legal documentation before participating in the bidding process.
