Description

This detached three-bedroom house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, particularly due to its remarkable location and breathtaking views that encompass both the sea and the countryside. Designed to maximize its stunning 180° panorama, this home overlooks notable landmarks including Lamberts Castle, Pilsdon Pen, and the scenic Marshwood Vale, extending all the way to Portland. Although currently functional, the property is in need of modernization, offering a blank canvas for potential buyers to create a contemporary living space tailored to their preferences. Once updated, the home's exceptional location and expansive views could significantly enhance its market value, making it an appealing investment. Internally, the layout includes a central hallway with parquet flooring leading into the main living areas. The spacious living room serves as a focal point with its stone fireplace and offers easy access to a garden room through sliding double doors. The adjacent kitchen features an array of floor and wall-mounted units but would benefit from updates to fully realize its potential. The ground floor also includes a bedroom with an en-suite shower room; upstairs are two additional bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, ensuring comfort in all seasons. Externally, the tarmac driveway provides ample parking alongside access to a single garage with an up-and-over door. The terraced rear garden offers a lawn area complemented by mature hedges and shrubs for privacy. A pond adds charm to the outdoor space, while steps lead down to lower levels of planting. Additionally, a paved terrace on the east side enhances accessibility to the garage. Situated on the western edge of Charmouth, this property is only a short walk from the local beach in this picturesque seaside village. Residents can enjoy various amenities including shops, pubs, and cafes within easy reach. The location also strikes an ideal balance between Bridport to the east and Axminster to the west, with convenient access via the A35 road. The area is rich in recreational opportunities such as walking, sporting activities, and horse riding. Charmouth lies within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site—renowned for fossil discoveries—offering both natural beauty and adventure right at your doorstep. In summary, this property not only possesses strong renovation potential but also stands out as a strategic investment opportunity in one of Dorset's most charming coastal villages.
