About this property

Originally built in the 1970s the current owner has completey transformed the property into a contemporary family home, taking full advantage of its elevated position and stunning views of the Jurassic Coast.

Approached off Downside Close the inital impression is of a much smaller property with parking and a garage door. When you enter the property the hallway immediately gives you sea views from the other end of the open plan space and a much more expansive impression than you would expect.
