Description
Savills are delighted to offer for sale for the first time in over 60 years an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a detached cliff top home with sea and coastal views from the upper floor and rear boundary. The local sandy beach is only approximately 450 metres away.
The fact that this home has been in the same ownership since circa 1962 is a true testament to how much the home and its location has been enjoyed. The property is now in need of modernisation and offers huge potential for the next owner to refurbish or redevelop altogether to their preferred style, subject to required consents.
Its ideally located at the end of the cul de sac and approached via a long drive opening to a large brick paviour parking area. The property delivers on the feeling of a private setting due to the delightful green outlook from the front. An entrance lobby leads through to a large imposing reception hall with French doors out to the rear garden. There is a large living room, dining room, kitchen, boiler room, utility room, cloakroom, shower room and two rooms that could be used as either additional receptions or bedrooms. There is potential to create lateral living on the ground floor for multi-generational families. In addition, there is a large integral garage and a shed to the side.
At first floor level, there is a large landing, four bedrooms, study, bathroom and shower room. The large living room has delightful sea views towards Old Harry Rocks. There is also potential to convert the loft into additional accommodation, subject to required consents.
To the outside at the rear, there is a large level garden with mature trees and borders. The views from the rear boundary of the garden over the sea, beach and coast are simply stunning.
