Set on the Isle of Portland, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers bright coastal living with genuine family appeal. The property benefits from panoramic sea views, a southerly-aspect tiered garden and an integral garage with off-street parking — practical everyday features for a household that wants easy access to the beach and nearby shops. It’s chain free and offered as freehold, making a quicker move feasible.
Internally the layout is compact (approximately 801 sq ft) over multiple storeys, with a contemporary-feeling kitchen/dining area and a comfortable living room. The house is double glazed (installation date unknown) and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators. Council tax is described as affordable and the nearby schools (including Atlantic Academy Portland and Wyke Regis Infant School) both have Good Ofsted ratings, making this suited to families wanting local schooling within walking or short driving distance.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size and single bathroom, which may limit larger families or those needing more flexible space. The local area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels — an important consideration for location-sensitive purchasers. The EPC is D. Built in the post-war period (circa 1950–66), there may be scope for updating or modest refurbishment to personalise the home and improve energy performance.
In short, this is a compact, practical seaside family home with strong lifestyle attractions — sea views, garden, garage and beach proximity — balanced by a modest footprint and local area challenges. It will suit buyers seeking a seaside base they can adapt over time or a family prioritising location and convenience over large internal space.
