Description

This substantial three-bedroom detached house presents a promising opportunity for refurbishment, ideally located just a short walk from the beach, local pubs, and shops. Built in the 1930s, the property features newly painted rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, showcasing the character typical of pre-Second World War homes. Inside, you will find an appealing open fireplace in the sitting room and original wooden flooring throughout, although the property requires revitalisation. Notably, the windows have been updated to modern UPVC double glazing. The layout includes a formal reception hall leading to a spacious sitting room that runs from the front to the rear of the house. Sliding doors open into a garden room or conservatory, adjacent to the kitchen and utility room, which also features a cloaks/shower room. Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Additionally, there is a generous boarded area in the roof that could be converted into a bedroom, subject to obtaining necessary building consents. The property is equipped with gas central heating, although it has not been used for some time. Outside, the front of the property offers a driveway with parking for two to three cars. The rear features a paved terrace leading to a well-maintained garden, highlighted by mature trees and an ornamental pond. This property is situated in the charming village of Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast, known for its stunning natural beauty and award-winning beach, with local amenities within easy reach.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial three-bedroom detached house in Charmouth presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. With an asking price of £350,000, the property is exceptionally priced at £264/sqf, significantly below the local average of £373/sqf. This affordability opens the door for potential buyers to acquire a spacious home with a generous garden, just a short walk from the beach and local amenities.

While the property does require extensive refurbishment, including updates to the dated kitchen and bathroom, there is considerable scope to enhance its character. Features such as the open fireplace, picture rails, and original floorboards add charm and can be revitalized to create a beautiful living space. Additionally, the roof has been recently painted, and the windows are double-glazed, which are positive signs in terms of maintenance. With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £120,000, this project offers a pathway to significantly increase value in a desirable location.
