Description

This end-of-terrace character cottage offers an exciting opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Nestled on the sought-after Spring Gardens, just a short walk from Chesil Beach, this spacious property features three well-proportioned double bedrooms and two versatile reception rooms. Off-road parking adds to the appeal, which is a significant asset in this desirable coastal location. While the cottage currently requires modernisation, it holds immense potential for transformation into a beautiful family home or a lucrative short- or long-term rental property. Upon entering through the welcoming porch, you are greeted by a light-filled sitting room with a large front window that creates an inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation after enjoying the nearby beach. The adjoining dining area presents an excellent space for gatherings, while the galley kitchen, complete with fitted cabinets and access to the rear courtyard garden, opens up possibilities for enhancing outdoor living space. The first floor contains two double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with stunning views of Portland cliffs. A third bedroom can serve as either a guest room or workspace. Ascending to the top floor reveals another comfortable double bedroom with useful eaves storage. The quaint courtyard garden is ideal for quiet retreats and enjoying fresh air while being conveniently located near local shops and public transport links. This property not only promises a delightful coastal lifestyle but also boasts significant renovation potential to maximise its value in this appealing area.
