An extended four-bedroom detached cottage in the heart of Portesham, offered chain free and set on a generous, private plot. The house balances traditional stone-fronted character—exposed fireplace and wood-burning stove—with practical family accommodation including a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room, utility, and a bright garden room that frames countryside views and floods the house with light.
The layout suits families who value flexible space: a master bedroom with modern en-suite, a guest bedroom and two interconnecting bedrooms that can easily be reinstated as separate rooms. A double garage, gated gravel driveway and mature, enclosed lawned garden provide secure parking and excellent outdoor space for children and pets. The property sits in a conservation area close to village amenities and walking routes, with Chesil Beach and Weymouth within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property uses oil-fired central heating and has an EPC rating of D; council tax is band F and therefore relatively expensive. Broadband information is mixed—some local data lists slow speeds while an available superfast option reports up to 76 Mbps. Local primary schools nearby have currently challenged Ofsted ratings, which may matter to family buyers.
Overall this is a sizeable, characterful family home with immediate move-in potential and scope to modernise further if desired. It will suit purchasers looking for a peaceful village lifestyle, strong outdoor space and quick access to the Jurassic Coast, while accepting the practical considerations of oil heating, energy performance and local school performance.
