West Lulworth, Dorset

Welcome to lovely Upalong.

This wonderful 1930s build, still with many original features and quirks is a charming and welcoming family home.

Quietly located on a desired lane in West Lulworth and a short, but dramatic walk to Lulworth Cove, right on the Jurassic coast. The current owners have renovated this home, retaining the quirkiness and making the most of the natural light and stunning views across the hills. Styling is contemporary and coastal.

Stone steps lead up to the pillared front of the house and the original timber front door is now painted a pretty coastal hue.

The moment you step into the light HALLWAY the house gives you a sense of light and freshness. The thoughtful colour palette and the now modern layout oozes a calm and homely interior.

The SITTING ROOM is cosy and has expansive views over to the church and beyond to the hills. A very pretty electric burner will keep you warm in winter months.

The renovated modern KITCHEN/DINING ROOM has space and style in bucketful’s. The dining area is situated near the wide windows, offering you glimpses of village life, overlooking the village and towards the church and hills towards the coast.

The KITCHEN has a generous number of shaker style wall and base units with plenty of work surface. There is plumbing and space for washing machine, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. A large wide window overlooks the glorious rear garden and there is a wide back door giving access to the side patio.

There is a generous DOUBLE BEDROOM on this level, and overlooks the garden to the rear. This bedroom is served by the ground floor SHOWER ROOM, which has a large modern separate shower, W.C., and wash basin. Perfect for when you step in straight from the beach! There is a useful understairs cupboard in the hallway for storage and coats.

The original staircase rises to the first floor landing and further bedroom accommodation. The PRINCIPAL DOUBLE BEDROOM really is a superb room with wonderful countryside views across Lulworth and with an attached BEDROOM/STUDY/NURSERY/DRESSING ROOM, with lots of eaves storage. For those of you who are stargazers, there is no better space. There is no light pollution and the views of the night sky from here are magnificent - over Bindon Hill and into space!

A further DOUBLE BEDROOM, also has masses of eaves storage and countryside views through the large Velux™ window. There is a further BATHROOM on this level with a bathtub, W.C., and wash basin.

Outside
The FRONT GARDEN is laid out with areas of paving, shingle and attractive shrubs with steps and pathways, making it interesting and pretty.

There is parking for 2/3 cars at the front of the house and across the lane there is additional visitor parking available for the neighbourhood.

The glorious REAR GARDEN has been a labour of love and clearly a favourite spot of the owners. There is a side terrace for morning breakfast, just outside the kitchen and steps take you up to the tiered garden, mostly lawn but with artistically designed areas to look at and sit, culminating in a PAGODA at the top of the garden for an incredible sunset in the direction of Durdle Door.

For the green fingered there is a useful potting shed. The garden backs onto pastureland and then onto Bindon Hill.

The views are striking and the surrounding quiet above the hubbub of activity in the village is rewarding, to say the least.

Location
Located on a quiet, elevated lane where West Lulworth meets Lulworth Cove.
A short walk of the local village school, Church, public house and shop. The beach at Lulworth Cove is within walking distance, whether you take the Coastal Path or walk through the village. Past the Church and up the hill is Durdle Door. The riverside market town of Wareham is 8 miles away and the County town of Dorchester is just 14 miles. There are other beaches close by at Studland, Swanage and Weymouth and Corfe Castle is also a short drive, from where you can pick up the steam train to Swanage - a real treat. The mainline stations to London Waterloo are at Wool and Wareham.
