5 bed detached house for sale

Lulworth Cove, Wareham BH20

Anchor House is a newly built coastal home set above Lulworth Cove. Designed to maximise light and sea views, it combines clean contemporary architecture with Purbeck stone and extensive glazing. A private road leads to a wide driveway between stone gate piers, ample parking and an integral garage.

The layout flips convention to put the living spaces where the outlook is best. Four well proportioned guest bedrooms are on the ground floor, two with en-suite shower rooms, plus a family bathroom, utility and larder, gym / additional bedroom / cinema room and internal access to the garage. On the first floor, full height windows frame the cove and open sea. An open plan kitchen with large island and walk in larder links to the dining area and a sea facing living room that opens to a broad balcony with glass balustrade. A snug provides a second sitting space and there is a separate study for quiet work.

The principal bedroom suite is a highlight, with far reaching coastal views, fitted dressing and a luxurious en suite with separate tub and walk in shower. From the reception hall a timber stair rises to an electronically opening glazed roof hatch and private roof terrace, an atmospheric place for sunset drinks and outdoor dining high above the cove.

Outside, unusually generous gardens for this location wrap around the house. A sheltered rear entertaining terrace connects by wide sliders to both kitchen dining and living spaces, creating seamless indoor to outdoor living. Level lawned areas to the side offer scope for additional landscaping or an outdoor kitchen. The plot is bordered by woodland to the rear, creating excellent privacy.

In all, a rare turn key coastal home combining architectural quality, generous outside space and views over Lulworth Cove.

Anchor House occupies an elevated position above Lulworth Cove on Dorset's Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
