A fantastic, detached family home tucked away on the edge of the most popular village a short walk from Seatown beach with a delightful garden and three bedrooms.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in a fabulous position on the edge of the village of Chideock and a short walk from the most popular Seatown beach, first glimpses of this wonderful property built in the 1950s are most impressive with an attractive façade constructed of Portland stone under a pitch tiled roof.
On first entering the property, which has been occupied by the same family since 1983, there is real sense of charm and space with flexible accommodation to suit most families' requirements. The property, although well-presented is totally untainted by inappropriate modernisation and offers scope to further upgrade and even extend (subject to planning). You are immediately greeted by a large hall ideal for boots and coats. This leads perfectly into a good-sized family kitchen incorporating a number of wall and base units, a four-ringed electric hob and twin oven. There is also plenty of room for a kitchen/dining table. Alongside is a larder and utility room and direct access to the gardens. Worth a special mention is the fabulous sitting room with a central wood burning stove and wooden fireplace and large windows looking out over the garden. There are also steps down to the dining area which can be cleverly partitioned off with sliding wooden doors. The dining room also has an open fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a snug/study with doors opening out to the terrace and garden. This could also be used as a bedroom with a shower room alongside.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor with three beautiful bedrooms all with views over the gardens. There is a bathroom on this floor, a separate WC and a large storage cupboard and linen cupboard. This entire floor is flooded with natural light and the two main bedrooms have spectacular views over the gardens.
The garden which lies to the Southwest of the property is an absolute delight, a utopia for children and animals with a lawned area interspersed by paved and gravelled paths, a number of specimen trees, a pond, and a summer house. An ideal place to sit and relax after a long day at the beach! The garden wraps perfectly around the property and has been lovingly landscaped and nurtured during the many years' occupancy by the present owners. To the side of the house is a single garage and off-street parking.
All in all, this is a truly wonderful property offering scope for improvement in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
