The Street, Charmouth

A striking semi-detached period property in need of modernisation, situated in the popular coastal village of Charmouth, within 40 metres of the shops and less than half a mile from the beach. We believe that the property was once a large farmhouse, which has been separated into two manageable homes. Harding is sited at the front, facing south with a mainly paved garden and gated parking space, whilst its neighbour is sited at the back. The Escalonia hedge to the front is in need of some attention but with care could once again provide a good screen, enabling greater enjoyment of the front garden. The entrance to the property is on the side and leads into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. At the front of the house is a very large living room with bay window and a stone fireplace. Beyond the hall is a room, which appears to have once been the kitchen/diner (and could be reinstated as such). Off this room is a conservatory, which is currently serving as kitchen. A door from here leads to the garden. On the first floor, at the front is a very large bedroom (the partner to the living room below), a family bathroom and a second bedroom, which has been partitioned to create a large en-suite shower room. The ceilings are high, adding to the feeling of space.
As well as the garden, there is a large store room (which may have been a garage) which has water and power connected. The house has a mixture of wooden and uPVC windows, mainly double glazed and gas central heating but is in need of a general update to include slight re-arrangement of the layout, new bathrooms, kitchen, floorings and general maintenance inside and out.

Famous for fossil hunting and forming part of the Jurassic Coast, Charmouth is situated between Lyme Regis and Bridport in West Dorset. The village has a good range of pubs, small shops and cafes and remains a popular tourist destination as well as a desirable place to live. Charmouth has a long beach and gently shelving waters which make it ideal for swimming. The village is very pretty with a wide range of property styles, many of them period houses and cottages. The coastal path runs through the village providing good walking with stunning scenery for the active. There is a regular bus service which serves the coastal towns as well as providing services to Axminster, where there are regular rail services to Waterloo and Exeter. The nearest secondary school is the highly regarding Woodroffe School at Lyme Regis in whose catchment area, Charmouth lies. A little further afield (about 12 miles) is the Colyton Grammar School, which consistently appears in the top ten Grammar schools in the country.
