Old Lyme Road, Charmouth, Bridport

A stunning high quality contemporary house enjoying superb coastal/country views in a highly desirable position within the popular village of Charmouth. EPC: B

The Property - Thalassa is a very attractive and highly individual detached, contemporary house, occupying an elevated position some 100 metres above Charmouth beach, giving superb southerly views over Lyme Bay towards Portland (some 25 miles), Golden Cap, Jurassic Coast and Pilsdon Pen to the east, located in probably the most desirable area on Charmouth’s west side. It was individually designed and built for the current owners in 2016 and has the benefit of the balance of a 20 year structural warranty.

The house has been very carefully and cleverly planned to take advantage of its very sunny southerly aspect and wonderful views, with generous reversed accommodation together with balcony and two Juliet balconies.

The excellent eco house energy credentials and future-proofing include substantial insulation, triple glazed windows with Argon gas, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR), solar panels (16) with 10kw battery storage and electric charging point. The house has a top EPC rating of A.

The house is appointed to a very high standard. The impressive specification includes underfloor gas-fired central heating (potential for heat pump in the future), ultra-modern and fully equipped kitchen with German quality units and comprehensive appliances (Siemens induction hob, Neff combi oven, convection oven, warming drawer, dishwasher – and also Liebherr refrigerator in pantry area), quality bathroom and shower room fittings, water softener, oak/glazed stairs, oak veneer doors, lift (which will take a wheelchair), quality floor coverings including fitted carpets and Karndean style flooring, plus white vertical blinds to all windows.

The bedroom layout has been carefully thought through with three bedrooms on the ground floor (cooler in summer) and bedroom 4 upstairs with bath/shower room and direct access to the gardens.

Please refer to the detailed floorplan but the accommodation is arranged briefly as:

Ground floor –Pillared entrance, reception hall, principal bedroom suite – bedroom with French doors, dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and en-suite wet room, bedroom 2 with French doors, bedroom 3 with en-suite shower room (Jack and Jill doors to bedrooms 2 and 3), utility with Miele washing machine and tumble drier.
First floor - Living room with library area and featuring glass wall panel sculpture by Cornish artist, Jo Downs, large balcony and two Juliet balconies, dining room, kitchen, pantry, rear hall, cloakroom, walk-in fully tiled store, wine store, bedroom 4/study with French doors to external stairs, en-suite fully tiled bathroom.

Outside there are many more excellent selling features with electric gated access (less for security but more for deer-proofing and protecting the roses! Very generous parking and turning facilities, double garage with insulated up and over doors and beautiful landscaped gardens extensively planted with flowering shrubs and trees with paths and garden terraces for sitting areas.

In summary, Thalassa is truly an exceptional coastal home, which is rarely available on the open market and has the added benefit of being offered with no forward chain. Stags are very proud to have been appointed as the selling agents and early viewing is strongly recommended.

Outside - Thalassa is set well back and screened with hedging, being approached through double gates onto a long driveway leading to a parking and turning area and access to the double garage plus EV charging point.

The gardens have been well thought out, very attractively landscaped and very well planted.

The front garden enjoys wonderful areas of lawn, adjoining sun terrace and interspersed with specimen trees, flower/shrub borders, raised beds, rockery and paved pathways, which extend to the side.

The rear garden features terracing on three levels with seating areas and, again, with a whole number of specimen trees, raised beds and fruit trees with pear, apple and plum. Adjoining the rear of the house there is a large terrace.

The garden is well fitted out with greenhouse, garden store, water taps and power points.

Situation - Thalassa is very well situated within a well established residential area/road of Old Lyme Road and on the favoured western side of Charmouth. It is within easy reach of the village centre, the beach and open countryside. There are a number of nearby public footpaths giving shortcuts to the beach and the clifftop South West Coast Path. Charmouth is a delightful and very popular coastal village on the Jurassic Coast. It offers excellent above average amenities including a newsagent, general stores, bakery, chemist, doctors’ surgery, library, hotels, restaurants and inns plus bus services. There is also a very popular primary school and the village is within the catchment area of two secondary schools – Colyton Grammer and Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis.

The whole area is designated as being one of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and the coast has been awarded World Heritage status. Much of the surrounding countryside is either owned or controlled by the National Trust. The thriving market town of Bridport (rated by the Sunday Times in 2026 as one of the best places to live in the UK) and the historic resort of Lyme Regis (a previous Sunday Times best place to live in the UK winner) are both within easy reach, as is Lyme Regis golf club (some 3 minutes by car).
