Summary - 56 Harbour View Road DT5 1EP
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Well-presented family home with elevated sea views and low-maintenance gardens.
Three bedrooms with separate lounge and dining areas
Bright and well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home with elevated sea views across Portland Harbour and Chesil Beach. The house offers a flexible lounge and separate dining area, a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a ground-floor shower room and WC plus a first-floor family bathroom — practical for everyday family life. Low-maintenance front and rear gardens and a gravel driveway simplify upkeep and outdoor use.
This property is constructed using a non-standard system-built method (post-war, c.1950–66). While the interior has been tastefully updated and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation and the exterior shows some roof/maintenance items and damp risk on a sloping site that will need checking. Buyers should allow for the implications of non-standard construction when arranging surveys and insurance.
Set within walking distance of Fortuneswell shops, bus routes and local schools, the home suits young families seeking coastal living close to amenities and recreational facilities such as the National Sailing Academy and Osprey Quay. Broadband and mobile signals are good. Council tax is very low, but the wider area has higher deprivation levels; purchasers should consider resale and rental prospects in that context.
Overall this is a comfortable, attractively finished family home that delivers immediate liveability and excellent sea views, but it carries material caveats around its construction type and some external maintenance that a buyer or investor must factor into their plans.
