PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A delightful, well-presented and characterful 1920's built 3/4 bedroom detached family home situated in a convenient location just a few hundred metres from the high street and a short stroll from the picturesque sea front and harbour. The property enjoys excellent views towards Capstone and the Bristol Channel and has a good sized garden and garage.

Durlston is a delightful, much improved and well-presented, characterful detached 1920's built family home situated in a central and convenient location just a few hundred metres from the high street and a short stroll down to the picturesque harbour and sea front. The house is being sold for the first time in 43 years with the current owners having raised their family in the home.

The spacious, bright and airy and versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors and enjoys good views over the town towards Capstone, the Bristol Channel and the distant Welsh Coast. There are good sized gardens to the front, side and rear and a garage at road level. The home is packed full of characterful features, typical of the 1920's period with the immediate feeling of space upon entering the delightful entrance hall. The attractive stained glass leaded light glass within the front door is a welcoming note when approaching the home. The lounge is a good-sized yet cosy room with a pentagonal shaped deep bay window which perfectly frames the views across the town towards Capstone, the sea and across to the Welsh coastline. There are attractive stained glass fan-light features. Within the room is an ornate fireplace with a working open fire which provides a focal point to the room and adds to the atmosphere of the property. Across the hallway is a separate dining room, again with its own decorative fireplace feature and open views out towards the coastline. The kitchen has a range of base and wall units and includes an integrated oven, hob, extractor canopy and dishwasher and there is space for a table and chairs too. Double doors at the side open onto a sheltered and private patio area which is a great spot for morning coffee or an al fresco meal. There is practicality as well in the form of a handy utility room which has excellent storage, a sink and plumbing for a washing machine and there is a ground floor toilet too. The final room on the ground floor is a double-sized bedroom which again has a feature fireplace.

The staircase to the first floor has an ornate turned spindle balustrade and leads up to a bright and airy galleried landing. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom. There is an abundance of storage space in the property and from the landing there is access to a large walk-in eaves storage cupboard. Bedroom 1 enjoys excellent views, directly from the bed from the side of the property out to Capstone and the sea. Bedroom 2, offers plenty of space and access into another large walk-in eaves storage space. There is scope to potentially convert that walk-in store into an en suite, if required. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, separate walk-in shower, wc and hand basin and complemented by modern tiling. There is a further large walk-in airing/storage cupboard as well.

Outside, at road level there is a single garage. Steps lead up through the front garden to the front of the house. There is a front garden area with a mature hedge that provides a privacy screen. There is a lawned area of garden at the front on the right-hand side which is a particularly appealing area are which enjoys the sea views. The side patio is particularly private and directly accessible from the kitchen and is a great area for an al-fresco meal, morning coffee or an evening drink and there is plenty of room for garden furniture. A pathway stretch across the width of the rear of the house and further steps lead up to the raised main garden area which is enclosed and laid mainly to lawn with well-screened and well stocked borders with a wealth of mature shrubs, bushes and trees.
