For Sale4 Bedroom House in Higher Sea Lane, Charmouth, Bridport, DT6£900,000

Fantastic coastal property overlooking Lyme Bay on the World Heritage Jurassic coastline in need of modernisation with direct access to the beach path, perfect for early morning walks or a dip in the sea. THE PROPERTY Originally built in the early 1900's, this fine Edwardian property was later extended in the 1930's creating a comfortable family home occupying a spectacular position overlooking Lyme Bay, and with direct access from its garden to the beach path. Whilst the situation and location of this wonderful property is without doubt a major feature, with its sea, beach, and countryside views; the house itself also has an enormous amount of character and charm, not to mention potential, offering any new owner a great opportunity to re model or simply update to suit. The current arrangement on the ground floor works very well, with the entrance hall incorporating the stairs, and leading to all rooms, with a fireplace off to one side which could be reinstated if desired. The two reception rooms are well proportioned and situated to the rear with a wrap around conservatory leading off. These rooms all have uninterrupted views across the rugged coastline, taking in Lyme Bay, Portland Bill, Golden Cap and Stonebarrow, making for the most wonderful place to relax, dine and entertain. The kitchen has a useful pantry room as well as a good-sized utility/laundry to one end, and there is also a WC and cloakroom off the hall. An attractive wooden winding staircase leads to the first floor with four bedrooms in all. There are two generous double bedrooms to the South, once again admiring the spectacular views to the coastline, one sharing a Jack and Jill ensuite shower room with one of the smaller two bedrooms situated to the front. There is also a good-sized family bathroom completing the accommodation at this level. OUTSIDE Situated close to the end of a quiet no through road, Commonside commands a very peaceful setting indeed, with a private drive for one car that sits in front of the garage. The main garden lies to the South and is mainly laid to lawn with an area left for wildlife, and a variety of mature shrubs, trees, and plants forming the boundaries to all sides. The real surprise however is situated at the very bottom of the garden, with a gate giving direct access to a path leading to Charmouth beach, perfect for early morning dog walks or a dip in the sea. There are also two wooden outbuildings that have been used for various hobbies and crafting, that could easily function as a home office. All in all, this is a golden opportunity to create the perfect family home overlooking the sea in this thriving coastal village. LOCATION Charmouth is a delightful unspoilt seaside village set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its Jurassic coastline being awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site Status in 2001.
