Preston, Weymouth, Dorset

For anyone drawn to life by the sea, the location is exceptional. It is the sort of home that makes the outdoors part of everyday life. Contemporary in style this light-filled home is finished with a strong emphasis on quality, the accommodation being designed to provide generous, comfortable living with an excellent specification throughout.

The ground floor flows particularly well, with the principal reception spaces making the most of the garden outlook. The spacious SITTING ROOM has a cosy wood burner and provides plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, with doors leading through to the GARDEN ROOM where there are direct views across the landscaped rear garden. Air conditioning provides both heating and cooling, adding year-round comfort. There is also a useful guest CLOAKROOM.

To the front, the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is a striking space, fitted with bespoke white gloss cabinetry complemented by polished stonework surfaces and ceramic tiled flooring. A comprehensive range of appliances includes a Fisher & Paykel™ induction hob and fridge/freezer together with Neff™ ovens and Miele™ dishwasher. Low-energy lighting and electronically controlled underfloor heating complete the contemporary finish.

Alongside, the UTILITY ROOM provides further fitted storage and matching work surfaces together with a Miele™ washing machine and Bosch™ tumble dryer, with a pedestrian door providing direct access outside. A water softener has also been installed at the main entry point for the water supply.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has its own EN-SUITE, while two further bedrooms also benefit from en-suite facilities. In addition, there is a separate SHOWER ROOM and W.C., providing particularly practical facilities for a four-bedroom home. Two bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, while air conditioning/heating has also been installed in the front bedroom.

Throughout the house, the quality of the original specification remains evident, with oak veneer internal doors, solid oak skirtings, architraves and window boards, an oak-finished staircase and chrome fittings. Zoned underfloor heating serves the ground floor, with a wet radiator system upstairs.

Technology has also moved on since the house was built, with fibre-optic broadband upgraded directly to the premises, providing speeds of up to 1GB.

The GYM to the rear of the garage provides useful flexibility for fitness, hobbies or potentially home working.

Outside
The garden has evolved into much more than simply an outside space; it has become an integral part of the lifestyle here.

Landscaped to provide an attractive backdrop to the house, there are plenty of opportunities to sit out, entertain or simply relax after time spent on the coast. The owners have also created their own private wellness area, with a Heracles Wellness™ SAUNA installed in 2025 with a Harvia™ electric heater, a COLD PLUNGE and an Arctic Spas™ SIX-SEATER HOT TUB.

Together with the gym, it makes an impressive combination for anyone who enjoys keeping active and then switching off at home.

The original GARAGE has been sub-divided to create a storage area in addition to the GYM with separate access from the rear. There is plentiful driveway parking, while the position at the end of a no-through road adds to the sense of being tucked away from passing traffic - despite having the coast quite literally on the doorstep.

Location
This is where life becomes rather special. Set towards the end of a no-through road, you can leave the drive on foot and join the Southwest Coast Path, which in total is 630 miles long, setting off along one of Dorset's most spectacular stretches of coastline without first getting into the car.

It creates a wonderful everyday rhythm: an early morning walk or run, a swim or paddle in the bay, a weekend hike towards Osmington and beyond, or simply heading out to enjoy the sea air and views across Weymouth Bay. Bowleaze Cove is moments away, with the wider Jurassic Coast opening up in either direction.

For all that sense of escape, everyday life remains wonderfully convenient. Preston provides useful local amenities, while Weymouth is approximately two miles away with its harbour, beach, shops, restaurants and mainline railway station with direct services to London Waterloo.
