Gulliver Close, Lilliput, BH14

A beautifully refurbished detached home offering exceptional versatility, an established income opportunity and an enviable position in one of Lilliput's most discreet residential settings.

There are certain properties that stand apart from the moment you discover them, and this exceptional home in Gulliver Close is undoubtedly one of them. Occupying a wonderfully peaceful position within a small cul-de-sac shared with just three other detached residences, the property combines the tranquillity of its setting with the convenience of being right in the heart of Lilliput Village.

What makes this home particularly special, however, is the remarkable flexibility of its accommodation. Currently configured as a substantial four-bedroom detached house with an adjoining, self-contained one-bedroom cottage, the property offers an almost unrivalled choice of living arrangements.

For buyers seeking a single-family residence, the existing internal connection between the main house and the cottage creates an exciting opportunity to incorporate the accommodation into one impressive home. This could provide a fifth bedroom or, perhaps even more appealingly, the opportunity to create a magnificent principal bedroom suite with its own dressing room and additional private space.

Alternatively, the existing arrangement lends itself perfectly to multigenerational living. Whether accommodating parents, grown-up children or other relatives and dependants, the adjoining cottage provides an exceptional degree of independence and privacy without compromising on proximity to the main residence. Importantly, the quality of accommodation is every bit as impressive as that of the principal house, ensuring that those enjoying the cottage benefit from the same exceptional standard of finish and comfort.

For those looking to combine lifestyle with an income opportunity, the cottage has already established an excellent track record as successful Airbnb accommodation, generating a healthy income and attracting consistently strong bookings. The opportunity to acquire a beautiful family home with an established income stream is undoubtedly an attractive proposition, particularly in such a sought-after coastal location.

Equally, with the increasing popularity of working from home, the cottage could provide an outstanding professional environment. Its separation from the principal living accommodation makes it particularly appealing for buyers wishing to establish a dedicated office, studio or consulting space, potentially allowing clients or visitors to attend without entering the private family home.

The Main Residence

Our clients have undertaken a comprehensive and beautifully considered refurbishment since acquiring the property, leaving no stone unturned. The immaculate presentation means that prospective purchasers can simply move in and begin enjoying everything the property has to offer.

The entrance hallway makes an immediate impression. Generously proportioned and centrally positioned within the home, it creates a wonderful sense of arrival whilst providing a natural connection to the principal ground-floor rooms.

The kitchen and dining room forms an inviting space for everyday family life and entertaining, with double doors opening directly onto the garden. The living room also overlooks the rear garden and provides a wonderfully comfortable setting in which to relax and unwind.

A particularly thoughtful addition by the current owners is the substantial utility and boot room. Exceptionally practical for family life, this generous space could readily be repurposed to provide further living accommodation should a future owner wish to adapt the layout.

Throughout the main home, the quality of the refurbishment is immediately apparent, with a consistent standard of presentation that creates a beautifully cohesive home.

The Adjoining Cottage

The adjoining one-bedroom cottage is quite simply delightful, and it is immediately apparent why it has proved so popular with visiting guests.

Unlike many properties where ancillary accommodation can feel secondary to the principal home, there is absolutely no compromise here. The cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished to provide a genuinely appealing space in its own right.

The internal connection with the main residence adds another dimension to its appeal, allowing future owners to retain the existing arrangement or incorporate the accommodation into the principal house according to their individual requirements.

Further Potential and Planning Permission

As impressive as the property is in its present form, there is also exciting potential to create additional accommodation.

Planning permission is already in place for a loft conversion incorporating further bedroom and bathroom accommodation. The generously proportioned first-floor landing is particularly well suited to accommodating access to the proposed conversion.

The planning permission also includes the demolition of an existing outbuilding and its replacement with a new garage and toilet facilities, together with additional accommodation at first-floor level.

An Exceptional Opportunity

It is rare to encounter a property that offers such a broad range of possibilities without requiring its next owners to undertake a programme of refurbishment.

For some, this will be the perfect substantial detached family home in an idyllic village setting. For others, the attraction will lie in the established income-producing cottage, the opportunity to accommodate relatives in comfort and privacy, or the freedom to create an entirely separate professional working environment.

Add to this the exciting scope provided by the existing planning permissions, the exceptional standard of refurbishment and the peaceful position within an exclusive cul-de-sac of just four detached homes, and the appeal becomes even more compelling.

Quite simply, a beautifully finished home of extraordinary versatility, in a location that is every bit as special as the property itself.
