Description
The front door opens into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL, an ideal space for coats and boots and to the side, stairs lead to the first floor. From here, you are drawn into the SITTING ROOM which provides a wonderfully cosy welcome. This inviting space is centred around a log-effect electric fireplace with a stone surround and bressumer beam, further enhanced by an additional exposed ceiling beam which adds to the character and warmth of the room.
From here, a glazed door leads into the DINING ROOM, where a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams lends an airy, rustic charm. French doors open out into the rear garden, creating a lovely sense of flow and a seamless connection with the outdoor space.
Adjoining the dining area is the KITCHEN, which has been fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units with work surfaces over. A window above the sink enjoys views over the garden, and a selection of integrated appliances includes an AEG™ electric oven, electric hob with extractor hood above, an under-counter fridge, slimline dishwasher, and washing machine—ideal for convenient, modern-day living.
Stairs rise to the first floor where two bedrooms and a shower room can be found. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is positioned to the front and benefits from wonderful views stretching towards the iconic St Catherine’s Chapel. Exposed beams add a rustic touch and a sense of history to the room.
BEDROOM TWO overlooking the rear garden, also features exposed beams and is equally charming, ideal as a guest room, study or nursery.
The SHOWER ROOM is smartly presented with a separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin, heated towel rail and W.C.
Altogether, this home is an inviting retreat, perfectly suited for those looking for a character-filled base in one of Dorset’s most historic and sought-after coastal villages.
