Full Description

Accommodation

Positioned in an elevated setting, this substantial Spanish-style detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable coastal residence enjoying magnificent sea views and the hills surrounding Preston, including the White Horse in Osmington. With its Spanish architecture and generous proportions, the property serves as the ultimate canvas for a bespoke contemporary remodel, allowing a discerning buyer to align the interior finish with their own requirements.

Entrance to the property is via an enclosed porch with front door opening to the welcoming hallway. The hallway has two storage cupboards and doors opening to the following accommodation. Designed to seamlessly merge indoor living with the dramatic scenery, the generous sitting room features full-length glazed windows and sliding patio doors that open directly onto the expansive front sun terrace. This creates a spectacular indoor-outdoor entertaining space framed by ever-changing sea views and sunrises over the bay. The kitchen/breakfast room is accompanied by a highly practical separate utility room, which offers direct access to a sunroom.

The sleeping quarters are equally impressive, featuring a generous en-suite bedroom with built-in wardrobes and large sliding patio doors opening onto the front terrace-allowing you to wake up directly to elevated marine views. Two further spacious double bedrooms overlook the private rear gardens and are serviced by a large family bathroom.

An internal staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, revealing an expansive double garage featuring electric roller doors, power, light, and water. Positioned to the rear is a highly versatile, dedicated workshop area-an ideal space for a classic car enthusiast, a marine gear store, or a premium home studio.
