This distinguished five-bedroom residence, originally a barrel store from the 17th century, presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. The property boasts significant historical charm and is set within mature gardens that enhance its appeal. Having been in the same family for nearly half a century, it has been enlarged and reconfigured to create a spacious family environment with substantial potential for modernization. The well-proportioned ground floor features principal rooms that overlook the gardens, with a notable sitting room showcasing a woodburning stove and access to outdoor recreational spaces. While the kitchen is functional with gas-fired heating and dining space, updating this area could significantly increase its value. Ascending to the upper level reveals four generous bedrooms, including a principal suite with ensuite facilities, alongside an additional fifth bedroom accessed via a separate staircase—ideal for guests or as an office space. Although the property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, it does require some modern touches to elevate its overall comfort and efficiency. Outside, the charming rear garden offers landscaped lawns and paved terraces—perfect for entertaining—while an attractive thatched stone outbuilding adds character. Located in the tranquil village of Chideock, just steps from Seatown beach and local amenities, this house represents a canvas on which to craft your vision while simultaneously increasing its market value in a sought-after area.
