Sunny south garden, garage and beach minutes away — ideal downsizers or coastal base..
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, direct garden access
A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Charmouth, just a short walk from the award‑winning beach. The living room opens via sliding doors onto a south-facing garden and paved terrace, providing sunny outdoor space for relaxing or simple gardening. An allocated garage plus parking space add practical secure storage and easy loading for beach days.
The interior follows a traditional layout: entrance hall, rear living room with garden access, kitchen with fitted units and integrated electric oven, two front-facing bedrooms and a family bathroom. The long lease (999 years from 1999) and low annual costs — around £740 maintenance and £30 ground rent — make ownership straightforward for those seeking low overheads. EPC C and council tax band B are further practical positives.
Notable drawbacks are clear and factual: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas in colder months, and the décor and carpeting are dated and likely need updating. Holiday letting is not permitted, which limits buy-to-let holiday income for investors. Broadband is average and mobile indoor coverage is limited in parts.
This apartment will suit downsizers or a couple seeking a quiet coastal base with low running costs and easy beach access. It offers immediate use with scope for cosmetic modernisation to improve comfort and interior style, while the long lease removes common leasehold concerns.
