Churchfield is a substantial family home with real history. This super Grade II Listed 5 bedroom home was once the Red Lion Inn where, we understand, George III stayed on his visit to Weymouth! More recently it has been a very successful holiday home and holiday let for the present owners.

From the moment you step through the substantial front door into the wide entrance hall, you can feel the history flowing through every flagstone and beam. The SNUG is within a curved panelled wall and is a perfect place for a children’s room or to get away from it all. The SITTING ROOM is very generous and the large inglenook, is welcoming, the woodburner offering warmth during colder months. It is a real family room, large but comfortable. Through to the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, light, airy and another homely space. Fully fitted for a modern family and the kitchen door opens out onto a superb courtyard. The formal DINING ROOM is accessed from the kitchen and hallway and is a lovely room for formal dining, large enough for big family gatherings. The FAMILY/UTILITY ROOM is a large and very versatile space and could be ideal as a workroom. From here step take you through a wide door and into the garden. There is also access from here to the pretty courtyard. Into the inner hall and there is a ground floor BATHROOM, which services the two double bedrooms above. There is internal access into the garage from here Stairs in this inner hall take you to 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS on the next level They both overlook the village at the front and one has a glazed door onto the patio that takes you to the rear garden.
In the hallway in the main part of the house stairs take you up to 3 further character double bedrooms with a BATHROOM and a SHOWER ROOM!

Outside
Substantial and solid timber gates open onto a PRIVATE PAVER DRIVEWAY which leads to the SINGLE GARAGE and a timber arbour with Wisteria and Honeysuckle lead you into the very pretty, private and surprisingly large COURTYARD and rear access to the property - it really is the most amazing space for outside entertaining, meals and bbq's. From the utility/family room and one of the bedrooms you can access the REAR ELEVATED PATIO AND GARDEN The garden has several seating areas to the stunning views of Bindon Hill and Hambury Tout. It is perfectly private and a real sun spot. There are superb walks just a stones throw away, Lulworth Cove is an easy walk and Durdle Door just over the hill.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
