Set just minutes from Chesil Beach, this chain-free two-bedroom terraced house in Fortuneswell offers clear scope for improvement and strong seaside appeal. The layout is traditional and practical: a bright sitting room leading to a kitchen and rear porch, two double bedrooms upstairs and a compact family bathroom. A private, enclosed garden and off-street parking add daily convenience.
The property is sold freehold with an EPC rating of C and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators. The house is solidly built (mid‑20th century cavity walls) and benefits from double glazing, fast broadband availability and close proximity to shops, bus routes and local schools rated Good. These factors make it suitable for first-time buyers wanting to personalise a home or investors seeking a refurb near the coast.
Important to note: the home needs modernisation throughout and shows visible wear externally — the roof requires attention and some external pipework and walls show condition issues. Cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work may be needed to improve comfort and reduce running costs. The immediate area is described as having above-average crime and higher deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the desirable location by the beach.
Overall this is a modest, average‑sized two-bedroom house with strong potential for value uplift after renovation. It suits buyers who want a seaside property to update, those looking for a rental/investment opportunity, or first-time purchasers prepared to invest in modernisation.
