Imagine arriving at your Portland home, settling into the bay window with the long sweep of Chesil Beach and the sea beyond, then gathering everyone around the table before an evening relaxing in the private courtyard. This historic four bedroom house brings those simple pleasures together with generous accommodation, recent renovations and the character and stand-out views of its coastal setting.
The entrance HALLWAY leads into a spacious SITTING/DINING ROOM, where the front bay window makes the sea view part of everyday life. There is space to relax and dine, with a door at the rear opening onto the courtyard. The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM also looks out to the courtyard and has its own door outside, so entertaining can easily move outdoors. It has fitted wall and base units, ample worktop space, a freestanding Blomberg gas cooker with gas hob and a slimline dishwasher, with space for a tall fridge freezer.
On the FIRST FLOOR the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM offers an elevated view along Chesil Beach from its bay window. A SECOND DOUBLE BEDROOM sits alongside a fully tiled BATHROOM with a separate bath and shower, while an additional CLOAKROOM is useful when the house is full of guests.
TWO FURTHER DOUBLE BEDROOMS are on the TOP FLOOR. The front bedroom has the highest sea views in the house, looking out beyond the rooftops towards the water and the Portland cliffs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Approx £18,000 p.a achieved through holiday letting. New boiler Oct 2021 (latest boiler service Oct 2026). Roof works carried out May 2021. Windows/doors replaced May 2019. Further details available.
Outside
The enclosed rear courtyard garden offers a private outdoor space, ideal for enjoying the fresh sea air or hosting summer gatherings. The elevated front garden has a further private terrace and enjoys elevated views over Portland and down to the sea.
Location
The isle of Portland is steeped in maritime history and offers stunning coastal scenery, beaches and a multitude of outdoor pursuits. Home to an internationally renowned water sports centre, the National Sailing Academy and Portland Marina are at the foot of the island. Aside from sailing and boating, there is sea angling, wind/kite surfing, kayaking and diving. Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon are internationally protected for their birdlife: the Chesil Beach centre hosts indoor and outdoor activities to discover the copious wildlife above and below the water and explore the wonderful lagoon. There are various independent shops as well as supermarkets on the island, with many eateries from Quiddles on the esplanade at Chiswell (when you want a change of scene to enjoy those sunsets!) to the award-winning Crab House Cafe across the causeway. Transport includes regular and frequent daily bus services to nearby Weymouth with its award-winning sandy beach, where there is also a mainline London/Waterloo train station.
