Description
Beautifully restored with a balance of modern comfort and period character, this charming three-storey Victorian cottage offers panoramic sea views across Chesil Beach and beyond — a rare opportunity to secure a turnkey coastal home in one of Portland’s most iconic locations.
Thoughtfully renovated throughout in recent years, the property now blends historic charm with high-specification finishes, offering peace of mind and timeless style just moments from the shoreline.
Ground Floor
The home opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a newly installed kitchen, fitted with modern cabinetry, quality appliances, and a clean, coastal aesthetic. A new boiler has been installed, ensuring long-term efficiency. The adjoining dining room has been newly plastered and fitted with new flooring, and enjoys a beautiful sea view — the perfect space for relaxed meals and entertaining.
To the rear, the brand-new bathroom features a stylish walk-in shower and a fresh, contemporary finish. The fuse board and electrics have also been upgraded downstairs, and the flat roof to the rear has been replaced.
First Floor
The first-floor living room has been fully reimagined. All new electrics have been fitted, and the walls stripped back to expose beautiful original Portland stone, creating a unique and atmospheric space that frames the sweeping views across Chesil Beach perfectly. Along with a double bedroom overlooking the rear of the property. Further to this a newly fitted WC and sink, adding further practicality.
Second Floor
Upstairs, the front two bedrooms enjoy panoramic sea views, while the snug to the rear provides additional accommodation or an ideal work-from-home space. All bedrooms have been newly plastered, decorated, and fitted with new carpets. In the main bedroom, plaster has been removed to reveal stunning original stone feature walls, preserving the heritage of this 1850s cottage.
Exterior & Garden
To the rear is a peaceful, Portland stone-walled courtyard garden — perfect for a quiet coffee or evening glass of wine. At the front, the cottage’s façade has been expertly restored, with traditional lime repointing and weatherproofing applied after the old render was carefully removed, further enhancing both durability and kerb appeal.
The rear of the house has been repointed, with roof and chimney repairs completed to ensure long-term protection and performance.
