Set on the Jurassic Coast a short walk from Charmouth beach, this detached 2/3 bedroom chalet-style bungalow offers rare renovation potential on a large wrap-around plot. Elevated upper rooms capture partial sea views that could be a major selling point once modernised. The property is sold with no onward chain and includes driveway parking plus a single garage.
Internally the house requires a full refurbishment: dated electric storage heating, double glazing installed before 2002, and system-built walls likely lacking insulation. The current layout provides flexible living — an L-shaped lounge/diner, sunroom, kitchen footprint, ground-floor bedroom with adjoining office space, and two upstairs doubles — so a renovation could reconfigure spaces or add value by improving energy performance.
Practical considerations are clear and important. Broadband speeds are slow locally, heating is electric, and the property will need updating throughout including possible roof and external maintenance suggested by the age and exterior finish. Council Tax is above average. Subject to planning permission there may be scope to extend or remodel to increase floor area or improve views and light.
This home suits buyers seeking a project: downsizers or coastal-home renovators wanting to create a comfortable seaside residence, or investors looking to add value in an affluent, low-crime coastal village. Its position close to coastal trails, cafes and Charmouth Primary School makes it appealing for relaxed everyday coastal living once refurbished.
