Characterful two-bedroom first-floor flat with parking near the Jurassic Coast.
Bright open-plan kitchen / living / dining with Juliet balcony
Set on the first floor of a converted 19th-century coach house, this compact two-bedroom flat is a characterful pied-à-terre or downsizer’s base in Charmouth. The bright open-plan kitchen/living/dining room benefits from a Juliet balcony and distant hill views, while the double-aspect master bedroom retains a pretty fireplace and period charm. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler provide practical comfort.
Practical positives include a designated off-street parking space, use of a small rear courtyard, very long lease (999 years from 1988, c.964 years remaining) and low nominal ground rent. The flat sits in an affluent, low-crime village on the Jurassic Coast — shops, cafes, bus links and beaches are within easy reach.
Important constraints are straightforward: the overall accommodation is small (c.609 sq ft) and the second bedroom is very compact — best as a box room, home office or occasional guest room. The property is leasehold with shared maintenance for the parking area and a restriction preventing holiday letting; it must be occupied by a single family. The building’s granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should consider insulation and energy upgrades.
This flat will suit someone seeking a tidy, characterful residence close to the coast rather than a large family home. It’s an attractive option for downsizers or purchasers wanting a low-maintenance base in a popular seaside village, provided they accept the modest internal space and occupancy/letting restrictions.
