3 bedroom detached house for sale

The property is approached via a welcoming porch, perfectly suited for coats and boots before stepping into the main hallway. Here, warm wooden flooring flows gracefully underfoot, complemented by a staircase rising with soft carpeting and a discreet under-stairs cupboard,providing invaluable storage.

The heart of the home lies in the superb open-plan SITTING AND DINING ROOM, where dual-aspect windows invite natural light to pour in throughout the day. At one end, a wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, while at the other, generous space is given over to dining. A striking picture window frames a captivating view of the sea—so enchanting it is hard to look away.
Seamlessly adjoining, the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the same sweeping coastal vistas. Wooden worktops, a Belfast sink, pantry, and space for a range cooker and dishwasher bring charm and practicality in equal measure, all set upon slate-tiled flooring that reinforces the home’s timeless, country-inspired feel.

Formerly the garage, a clever conversion has created a versatile STUDIO with a utility area to one side and a delightful conservatory to the other. Sliding doors open onto a sun-drenched terrace with pergola above—an idyllic spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. A Velux™ skylight, windows to the side, and an additional door to the front complete this flexible space. Notably, planning permission exists to add a fourth bedroom above, should one wish.

At the opposite end of the ground floor lies BEDROOM TWO, a well-proportioned double room enjoying sea views and direct ‘Jack and Jill’ access to the family bathroom, making it an ideal guest retreat. The BATHROOM is fitted with a bath and shower over, pedestal basin, W.C., heated towel rail, and part-tiled walls.

Ascending to the first floor, where a generous double storage cupboard adds to the home’s practical appeal.

The PRINCIPAL SUITE is elegantly appointed, complete with built-in wardrobe, ENSUITE bathroom, and breathtaking views stretching across Portland, Stonebarrow, and Golden Cap. The en-suite features a vanity sink, bath with shower over, W.C., heated towel rail, porcelain-tiled flooring, and a window overlooking the mature front gardens.

BEDROOM THREE, currently arranged as a study, is another generous double room with dual-aspect windows, elevated views of both countryside and coast, a built-in wardrobe, wooden flooring, and access to eaves storage.

Outside
The property itself is set centrally within grounds of approximately one-third of an acre. Approached via a five-bar gate, the driveway provides ample parking. The gardens are a delight throughout the seasons.

At the front, a wooded glade of Oak, Beech, Bay, Sumac, Gingko Biloba, Liquidambar, Clerodendron, Myrtle, Rowan, and winter-flowering Honeysuckle is interwoven with a private path revealing tantalising glimpses of the sea. To the rear, the south-facing garden is a haven of privacy and year-round interest, planted with an array of trees and shrubs. A broad lawn provides the perfect setting for family games and outdoor enjoyment, while a wooden shed offers practical storage for garden tools and equipment. A sheltered terrace, cloaked in Wisteria and flowing seamlessly from the principal reception room, creates the perfect stage for summer dining. These gardens are designed for colour, fragrance, and pure enjoyment at every turn.
