THE PROPERTY Flat 1, Claremont is a very attractive and self-contained ground floor apartment, well located in this very sought after coastal village. It is one of only two individual apartments in a building which is believed to date back to the late 1700s/early 1800s and converted from the former hotel Claremont, which closed in the 1960s. Under the current ownership since 2011 the property has been much improved and is very well presented.
The spacious accommodation enjoys lovely views over the village, the church and Stonebarrow. There are a host of character features, typical of its period, including a mosaic tiled floor to the hallway, large bay window, high ceilings, window seats and a fireplace.
The excellent modern amenities include gas-fired central heating (combi boiler replaced in 2021), uPVC double glazed windows, modern well-equipped kitchen (fitted just 2 years ago) with quartz work surfaces, electric oven, gas hob and dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer, modern period style bathroom and water softener.
The accommodation extends to reception hall, living room, kitchen/diner (with back door giving rear access to the parking space), utility, two double bedrooms, bathroom.
The property also has the immense benefit of a parking space (very rare in Charmouth village centre).
Equally ideal as a main home or second home. Viewing is strongly recommended by the sole agents, Stags.
OUTSIDE Allocated parking space to rear (vehicular access through very nearby adjoining archway and pedestrian access from kitchen back door).
The apartment has its own small area of outside space to the front, being gravelled for ease of maintenance and enclosed behind attractive ornate railings.
SITUATION The apartment enjoys an elevated and very convenient location within the main street of Charmouth, only a few minutes' walk off the centre and only some five minutes' walk to the beach, the South West coast path and open countryside. Charmouth is a delightful and very popular coastal village on the Jurassic Coast. It offers excellent amenities including a newsagent, shop, bakery, chemist, doctors' surgery, library, hotel, restaurant and inns.
The whole area is designated as being one of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and the coast has been awarded World Heritage status. Much of the surrounding countryside is either owned or controlled by the National Trust. The thriving market town of Bridport is only about 7 miles to the east, whilst the historic coastal resort of Lyme Regis is only about 3 miles to the west. The town of Axminster is also within easy driving distance, with mainline rail services to London and the West Country.
TENURE 999 Year lease from 2000 with share of freehold.
There is no formal service charge, although the cost of building insurance is shared with the other apartment, otherwise repairs/maintenance on an ad hoc basis, shared equally between the two leaseholders.
