Charmouth, Dorset

Stepping inside, the main house immediately conveys a sense of warmth and character. The triple-aspect entrance porch creates a bright introduction, leading through to a central hallway where tiled flooring and a solid, reassuring feel set the tone for the rest of the home.

The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM form the heart of the house, a sociable and characterful space centred around a beautiful oil-fired Aga™. Exposed stonework and beams add texture and charm, while thoughtful storage and space for modern appliances ensure practicality is not compromised. There is a Belfast sink with separate filter tap, tiled flooring and custom fitted storage options are things to note along with the space to house an American style fridge/freezer. With light filtering through from both front and rear, and a door that gives access to the back of the home, it is a space that naturally draws people together.

Adjoining this is a versatile room, currently arranged as a STUDY but equally suited to a fourth bedroom. With its own discreetly positioned W.C., it offers flexibility that can adapt over time, whether for guests, hobbies or home working.

Across the house, the SITTING ROOM provides a cosy and characterful retreat. The inglenook fireplace, complete with a log burner, creates a natural focal point, while exposed beams, a window seat and a tucked-away reading corner give the room a sense of depth and comfort, somewhere to settle into as the day draws to a close.

Leading on from here is a dual aspect ground floor bedroom (BEDROOM THREE). With its own EN-SUITE it offers an arrangement that works particularly well for guests or those seeking the convenience of accommodation on one level when required. The en-suite comprises of a corner shower, window to the side aspect, W.C., vanity wash hand basin and is part tiled.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The landing leads to two further bedrooms, a loft hatch and a family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is carpeted with a window to the front aspect and has a built in wardrobe.
BEDROOM TWO at the other end of the house has a window to the front aspect and wonderful exposed floorboards.

The FAMILY BATHROOM serves both rooms, fitted with a bath with shower over to suit the needs of everyday living, a window to the front aspect, tiled flooring, part tiled walls, W.C., and has a pedestal wash hand basin.

Outside
The approach to the home is immediately welcoming. A gravel driveway provides parking, before a gated entrance leads up and into the front garden, where steps rise through planted borders to a beautifully arranged terrace. Bathed in sunlight for much of the day, this inviting space has been thoughtfully designed with raised beds, a pergola and seating areas that naturally lend themselves to outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden as it unfolds around you.

From here, the garden opens out into a lawned space, rich with colour and interest across the seasons. The detached LODGE sits comfortably within this setting, offering a valuable layer of independence, perfectly suited for visiting family or extended stays. Inside, it is self-contained, with a dual-aspect sitting room, kitchen area, two bedrooms and a shower room, providing a comfortable and highly flexible arrangement.

The grounds continue to evolve as you explore them, with a wildlife pond, an orchard of apple trees, a wood store and substantial storage shed. It is a garden that offers both enjoyment and purpose, somewhere to immerse yourself as much or as little as you wish.

At the front of the property, a generous STUDIO/ WORKSHOP adds yet another dimension. Filled with natural light and complemented by a mezzanine level and its own shower room, it lends itself equally well to creative pursuits, working from home or simply providing that all-important extra space that is so often sought but rarely found.

To the rear of the main house is a handy walkway featuring an outside tap, outside lights, access to the oil tank and boiler.

There is Bore hole water for the property and a shared septic tank which is located in a neighbouring property.
