Downside Close, Charmouth, Bridport, DT6

A truly fantastic remodelled five bedroomed property, a stone's throw from Charmouth beach on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, with uninterrupted coastal and sea views.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in a fabulous position a stone's throw from the beach and the centre of the famous seaside resort of Charmouth, this wonderful property is quite simply 'as good as it gets!'
Originally built in the 1980s the present owners have recently undertaken a fastidious and very clever programme of works almost completely rebuilding the property, creating an exceptional bespoke family home taking full advantage of the stunning location with some of the most enviable sea and coastal views that this wonderful part of the Jurassic Coast has to offer.
On first entering this wonderful property it is almost impossible not to smile, with a long hall greeted by instant sea views, and flooding this floor with natural light.
It is immediately obvious that a huge amount of thought and attention to detail has gone into this incredible project, which now exemplifies modern living.
The hall leads into the most fantastic open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, ideal for entertaining on a large scale, with wooden flooring and sliding doors opening out to a decked balcony, ideal for al fresco dining. The sea and countryside views towards Stonebarrow and Portland are absolutely stunning. The large family kitchen to one end has been beautifully designed, with a range of very attractive bespoke units, built in Miele appliances and a large marble island. There is also a utility area that sits behind the kitchen with a very useful pantry. To one side of the island is an extendable kitchen/dining table and there are few better places to enjoy an evening meal whilst watching boats go by!
To the other end of this fantastic open plan space is a sitting area with a wood burning stove and plenty of room for a large L-shaped sofa. Sliding doors open onto the large decked terrace further extending this wonderful space and giving a real sense of inside / out living, with steps then leading down to the garden.
There are three bedrooms at this level, all en suite, two with their own private terrace, with the third being ideal for children with two raised beds and situated to the side of the study, which could equally be used as a playroom.
The hallway has a very cleverly designed coat and boot area, and also provides access to the large integral garage which currently has a laundry/storage area, perfect for storing all that one would need when living this close to the beach.
A wide wooden staircase leads down to the lower ground floor which could easily be described as a children/guest utopia, with a large family bedroom, en suite bathroom, and sliding doors opening out to a lower decked terrace. There is another double bedroom with an en suite shower room, and den/TV area, with kitchenette alongside, and a games room. The accommodation is incredibly flexible and would suit most families' needs.

OUTSIDE
The garden at the rear is mainly laid to lawn and very manageable and safe for children and pets. There is also a building plot at the end of the garden with outline planning (lapsed) for a detached dwelling and garage. Planning application WD/D/16/001316. This can also be accessed from Five Acres.

All in all, this is a truly magnificent property in an absolutely idyllic location.
