  • Spacious, multi level garden for all the family to enjoy outdoor living and al fresco meals
Property code: DC091

Overlooking Charmouth beach, this spacious detached property boasts a light and airy interior with a wonderful outdoor area for dining al fresco.

Situated on a secluded lane in the seaside village of Charmouth, this beautiful Victorian cottage is perfect for big family getaways. It’s located just 600 metres from Charmouth Beach and the South West Coast Path. And with a toddler-friendly playroom plus a fully stocked games room, this cottage offers a fun seaside escape for all ages.

This cottage’s spacious design boasts an array of original Victorian features. Seven steps lead up to the front porch where you’ll find space for shoes and coats. Then discover a bright double-aspect sitting room with a log burner and stunning sea views. The dining room is just as special thanks to its ornate Victorian fireplace and original wooden flooring. In the kitchen, you’ll find a beautiful range oven plus a dishwasher and breakfast bar. There’s also a handy utility room with washer and dryer plus access to one of the property’s three bathrooms. The other two are located upstairs alongside three well-considered bedrooms – a king-size and a twin which both feature Victorian fireplaces and sea views, plus a further twin. Outside, a bright conservatory opens out onto a patio and three terraced lawns. And if a games room with table football and pool table wasn’t enough, there’s also everything you need for badminton, croquet and lawn bowls. The garage has parking space for two cars.

After the family games, wander down to Charmouth Beach and visit the Heritage Coast Centre for an amazing display of fossils, wildlife and even a sea dragon! Locals regularly host rock pool rambles and the stretch of beach between Charmouth and Lyme Regis is renowned as one of the best in the UK. Lyme Regis itself is only 2 miles away and boasts an array of pubs, restaurants and even a fossil museum.
