It has been under the current ownership since 2003 and over the years a whole number of improvements and alterations have been carried out.
The house offers a host of character features, typical of its age and type, including herringbone brickwork, eyebrow window, oak-framed leaded light window, picture rails, original internal doors, original fireplace and cupboards etc. The house benefits from a very sunny south-facing rear aspect with lovely views over the gardens and along the Jurassic Coast to Portland.
