This beautiful home captivates you from the moment you arrive with its landscaped front garden and vibrant flower borders.

The traditional hallway, with some original features, has a marble floor with underfloor heating. The hallway leads to a charming sitting room, with French doors opening onto the front garden. There is a parquet floor and a feature fireplace with a log burner. Adjacent to the sitting room is an elegant, spacious dining room, ideal for entertaining. The window from the dining room looks out into the white-washed, cobbled courtyard.

On the ground floor, there is also a well-appointed utility space with a boiler, hot water tank and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A small cloakroom with W.C. and a handbasin leads off from the utility room. The kitchen is a contemporary Shaker design with a quartz work surface. It includes high-specification integrated appliances—a fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven with induction hob, and extractor fan and built in filter tap. There is also a contemporary larder cupboard. Back in the hallway, underneath the staircase, a neatly arranged space provides discreet storage for coats and shoes, ensuring an uncluttered entrance.

On the first floor, the sense of space and sophistication continues. The landing leads to a private roof terrace, an idyllic spot to unwind as the sun sets. On this floor are two beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, each designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind. The principal bedroom has a large Georgian window, which catches the early morning light and looks over the front garden. It boasts a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a modern walk-in shower, a sleek vanity unit, and high-end fittings.

On the second floor, there is another spacious double bedroom also with a large Georgian window looking out over the garden. This bedroom has a stunning en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, a Japanese sitting bath and a walk-in shower area, offering a spa-like retreat. This floor also has a well-appointed main bathroom, complete with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and W.C. Additionally, there are two storage cupboards. The larger one is a walk-in cupboard, and both have shelving. The final flight of stairs takes you up to the top floor.

The icing on the cake of this extraordinary home is this room. With a bank of full-length Velux windows, there is a stunning panoramic view over Chesil Beach and the distant hills. On a clear day, you can just make out Golden Cap. The centre window opens up into a roof balcony. On the other side of the room is a dormer window with great views of Tophill. Whether envisioned as a tranquil workspace, an inspiring creative studio, or an exceptional bedroom retreat, this remarkable space provides an ever-changing backdrop of sky and sea—perfect for starting the day with a sunrise or unwinding under a starlit sky.
