THE PROPERTY Highclere is a very attractive, individual, detached chalet style home set in lovely gardens and enjoying wonderful sea views along the Jurassic Coast to Portland, the harbour, East Cliff and the surrounding countryside to Bridport beyond. It is believed to have been built in the 1920s and under the current ownership since 2015 has been subject to extensive alteration/refurbishment to a high standard and in a lovely contemporary/seaside style.
Alongside the contemporary theme, the property still retains a number of character features, typical of its original period, including high ceilings, exposed floorboards, stained glass leaded front door, picture rails and fireplace.
The excellent modern amenities include gas-fired central heating with updated boiler, uPVC sealed unit windows plus bi-folding doors, wood burner to the living room, well equipped Italian kitchen with contemporary units including pull-out larder, slate work surfaces and comprehensive appliances (Neff electric double oven, gas hob and freestanding American-style fridge/freezer), natural Italian stone tiles to the kitchen, utility and fourth bedroom/study and attractive contemporary en-suite bathroom and shower room fittings.
The well proportioned and versatile accommodation extends to:
Ground floor - Garden room/porch, reception hall, living room with bi-folding doors, kitchen/dining room, utility, bedroom 4/study, two further bedrooms, shower room with walk-in shower.
First floor - Principal bedroom with bi-fold doors onto sun balcony and en-suite bathroom.
