Summary - 3 MANOR PLACE FORTUNESWELL PORTLAND DT5 1NL
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful 4-bed 1700s home with Chesil Beach views—small plot, no driveway.
Sea views across Chesil Beach from tiered front garden
A rare, historic detached home on Portland with striking Chesil Beach sea views. Dating from the 1700s, this four-bedroom property combines original character—high ceilings and some hardwood floors—with practical modern updates such as double-glazed sash windows and a hard-wired fire alarm installed in 2023.
Living space is arranged over multiple split levels, offering a large kitchen-diner with wood burner, a sitting room with multi-fuel burner and a sunny triple-aspect snug. The master bedroom includes an en-suite and good built-in storage; a single bedroom currently suited to a home office. A utility, pantry and outside shed add useful storage.
Outside space is modest: a small rear/side courtyard and a four-tier front garden that benefits from sea views, power and an outside tap. There is no driveway; parking is on-street with several nearby public car parks. The house sits within a mixed-amenity coastal community with good local schools and leisure opportunities.
Practical points to note: the property’s age means some areas will need ongoing maintenance and potential updating. The plot is small, there is limited off-street parking, and local area indicators record above-average crime and higher deprivation than surrounding districts. Overall, this home will suit a buyer seeking coastal character and views, willing to invest in upkeep and modernisation where desired.
