The Detail - Welcome to The Sea Gazer, an incredible coastal ranch with breathtaking sea views, nestled in around 1.3 acres of land. Originally built in 1929, the property has undergone extensive change to provide modern features with a blend of original touches.

Most likely one of the largest residential properties in Weymouth, The Sea Gazer offers the opportunity of enjoying a large family home or is perfectly suited for multi-generational living.  The current owners are utilising the home as two separate dwellings. The three-story residence boasts beautifully decorated and spacious accommodations that leave a lasting impression with every room.

Step onto the charming veranda, passing a convenient vestibule, and enter the impressive main hall. The heart of the home lies at the far end - the kitchen/dining/family room. The luxury LochAnna kitchen features plentiful storage, stylish shelving, granite work surfaces, and two large islands, one with a Rangemaster dual fuel electric oven and five-ring gas hob, and a range of modern appliances including a large wine cooler, QuookerT tap, macerator, four-ring induction hob with further electric oven, range fridge/freezer, stylish radiators, further cocktail preparation island, fitted under-counter drinks fridge, microwave oven, and plate warmer. 

This versatile space, with its bi-fold doors and luxurious oak veneer herringbone flooring, provides a grand setting for social gatherings or cosy family nights by the fire, all while enjoying stunning sea views across Weymouth Bay.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the sitting room offers another entertaining space with an open fire and a door opening to the covered deck. Interconnecting sliding doors lead to the snug, creating an ideal setting for more relaxed evenings, whilst enjoying those all important sea views, with further sliding doors lead onto the veranda.

The veranda, a charming covered space encircling the front of the house, offers a delightful setting for Al Fresco dining, unwinding in the hot tub, or simply basking in the afternoon sun while taking in scenic views of the grounds and the bay.

Cross the hall to discover a sizeable utility room with its own external access, perfect for shedding sandy wellies after coastal dog walks. Accessible from the main hall is the heated indoor swimming pool, a place to relax and unwind, featuring a poolside shower and a discreetly housed plant room.

Designed for flexibility, the property can be divided into separate living spaces, converging at an interconnecting door by the swimming pool. The cinema room is the perfect place to enjoy your film favourites, with an overhead projector and pull down screen. Adjacent to this, the large sitting/dining room with built-in wifi speakers, provides the perfect space to entertain guests. This space has previously been utilised as a gym and features large sliding doors out onto the extensive gardens. There is also a handy shower room here.

A spiral staircase leads to a private landing and lounge area, offering three impressive and spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite baths or showers, two with dressing rooms, and balconies with sea views, accessed via bi-folding doors. Both bedrooms enjoy fabulous views over the grounds and the sea/coast beyond. This area also includes a separate bathroom and kitchen, providing a private retreat for guests or extended family.

The primary staircase with original ornate balustrade rises to the first floor landing, where you'll find a further four spacious bedrooms, each with its own unique view. A spacious family bathroom with an infrared sauna and a further en-suite compliment the bedrooms.

The top floor reveals the impressive master suite, showcasing the dual-aspect principal bedroom with panoramic sea views, a dressing room and extensive fitted wardrobes by Hammonds, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. The suite is completed by a generously sized private sitting room offering a secluded space with its own mini-bar fridge area and stunning views.

Approaching the house from outside, you'll follow a private drive that leads to an electric gated entrance, opening into a gravel driveway and a turning circle offering ample parking space for multiple vehicles. Additionally, there is a spacious detached garage with a workshop, as well as a double carport suitable for parking or boat storage. Nestled in an elevated position, the property occupies a secluded and private plot surrounded by mature trees. Positioned well back from the road, the grounds primarily face southwards, providing a scenic outlook towards the coast.

The annexe accommodation enjoys a separate garden area with its own entrance, gardener's WC, and access to the boiler room.

In such a beautiful coastal location, a property of The Sea Gazer's style and size is truly a rare gem.

The vicinity offers ample opportunities for enjoying various watersports such as sailing, windsurfing, and kite surfing within Portland Harbour. Just a short walk away, you'll find Sandsfoot Castle and beach, as well as Castle Cove with its Sailing Club. The nearby Rodwell Trail, stretching from Weymouth Harbour to Chesil Beach, and connecting to Portland Marina and Sailing Academy, provides access to numerous cycling and walking paths, seamlessly linking coastal and countryside trails.

Within a half-mile radius of the property, a range of amenities awaits, including a general store, bakery, doctors' surgeries, dentist, hairdressers, chemist, public house, takeaways, and both Primary and Secondary schools-all conveniently within walking distance.

Weymouth Town Centre and Brewers Quay, with their picturesque harbours, are a mere 1? miles away. Here, you can explore a diverse array of bistros, pubs, and restaurants, indulge in shopping at various outlets, and appreciate the stunning Georgian esplanade and sandy beach. For transportation, Weymouth offers rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.
