Then the DINING ROOM with its feature fireplace and exposed wooden flooring has windows to the rear aspect along with double doors which exit out to the conservatory. The CONSERVATORY has a door to the garden and wraps itself elegantly round the rear of the home.

Both the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM and BEDROOM TWO command elevated, postcard-worthy views of the coast and surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is perfectly positioned to wake up to the sea each morning, watching the waves crash on the shore from the comfort of your bed must be on everyone’s wish list.

Outside
Commonside’s exterior is equally enchanting. The south-facing garden is a fabulous size and is a mix of well-kept lawn and wild areas alive with birdsong and butterflies, bordered by mature shrubs and trees for privacy and shade. Whether it’s children playing, summer picnics, or quiet afternoons with a book, this garden invites you to pause, breathe and listen to the waves. There are two wooden outbuildings tucked into the garden that provide flexible space for hobbies, crafting, or could easily be repurposed into a garden office or creative studio.

But the most magical feature is at the garden’s end – a private gate opening directly onto the Southwest costal footpath that leads to Charmouth Beach. It’s an effortless link to the coastline, perfect for spontaneous swims, fossil hunting, dog walks, or sunset strolls, all without needing to get in the car.

To the front, the property offers off-road parking and access to a spacious garage which is fitted with light and power.
