Summary - Chesil View Cottages DT5 DT5 1JJ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Turnkey three-storey cottage with sea views, moments from Chesil Beach.
Panoramic sea views across Chesil Beach, 200 metres to shore
A beautifully restored three-storey Victorian cottage offering panoramic views across Chesil Beach and immediate coastal access. Recent works deliver a largely turnkey home: new electrics and fuse board, new boiler, fully refitted bathroom and first-floor WC, new rear flat roof, plus roof and chimney repairs. Exposed original Portland stone in the living room and master bedroom preserves strong period character while modern finishes provide everyday comfort.
Set just 200 metres from the shoreline, the cottage suits a holiday home, high-yield Airbnb, or compact coastal family base. The dining room and two front bedrooms enjoy sea views; a snug on the top floor offers flexible space for a home office or extra sleeping area. A small, stone-walled rear courtyard provides a low-maintenance outdoor area.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property has only one full bathroom and relatively small plot size, which may limit permanent family living. The original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than for modern builds despite a new boiler. The area records above-average crime and relative deprivation, important for investors to weigh when pricing short-term lets or long-term rentals.
Overall this cottage combines coastal location and character with recent mechanical and structural updates, offering a strong proposition for buyers seeking a seaside bolthole or holiday-let investment with immediate rental readiness and authentic period appeal.
