A great opportunity to modernise or remodel, this three bedroom split level home with fantastic sea and countryside views, quietly situated on a no through road in the thriving village of Charmouth on the World Heritage Jurassic coastline.

THE PROPERTY
Architect designed and built in 1980, and remaining in the same family since new, 10 Downside Close enjoys an elevated position overlooking Lyme Bay, taking in Stone Barrow, the Golden Cap and further to Portland. It is just a 5-minute walk to the famous fossil hunting beach and shops at Charmouth, which has a thriving community with all amenities to hand.
The house itself remains untainted by modern intervention, offering huge potential for any new owner to re design or simply modernise to their own specification and taste.
Its split-level design, with the living spaces leading down, and the main bedrooms situated above, could work in reverse if preferred, and was originally designed with this flexibility in mind.
The entrance hall leads to a study/third bedroom (which could be further extended if required into the single garage adjacent STPC) and a cloakroom with WC. Half stairs lead up to two very generous double bedrooms, both with fantastic sea views, and one boasting a balcony, which would lend itself to be extended (STPC), with a family bathroom in the middle.
Half stairs from the hall also lead down to the main living spaces, with a kitchen to one side, a dining room in the middle, and a sitting room to the other side. All these rooms of course benefit once again from wonderful sea views, with the sitting room having sliding patio doors opening onto a sunny paved terrace.
The kitchen also has access out to the garden, which also leads to a utility/laundry room and store to this side of the house.

OUTSIDE
Situated in the middle of a quiet cul de sac, the property is approached via a private driveway with ample parking for two cars leading to a single garage and caravan/boat garage. There is a low-level stone wall enclosing an attractive front garden, laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs and a mature specimen tree.
Side access leads past the utility/laundry room and store to the rear garden which is fully landscaped. There is a sunny paved terrace, leading out from the sitting room, with a level lawn, border shrubs and mature tree and hedge boundaries. There is also a Victoria Plum tree, apple tree and soft fruit area.
All in all, this is a fantastic opportunity that would suit most families' needs as a primary or secondary residence in this most desirable West Dorset coastal village.
