Description
At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan KITCHEN and DINING space, where large, glazed doors draw in natural light and open directly onto the garden. The kitchen is sleek and modern, centred around a substantial island with quartz work surfaces and a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinetry. Integrated Neff™ appliances include twin ovens with grill functions, a separate microwave, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher, and a full-height double fridge, combining practicality with a streamlined aesthetic. The island enhances functionality with deep storage drawers, while the adjoining dining area benefits from statement lighting and a strong indoor-outdoor connection, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. White porcelain tiled flooring completes the space with a crisp, durable finish.
A well-planned UTILITY ROOM provides additional storage, laundry facilities, and internal access to the integral garage, creating a practical transition space. The SITTING ROOM offers a more relaxed setting, featuring Karndean, warm timber flooring, a contemporary wood-burning stove with Portland stone surround, and built-in shelving. Wide glazed doors open onto the garden, enhancing the sense of light and space.
A CLOAKROOM with W.C and wash hand basin completes the ground floor, alongside a spacious hallway. Underfloor heating runs throughout this level, ensuring consistent comfort and a clean, uncluttered finish.
Upstairs, a generous landing enhances the sense of openness. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a standout feature, with a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing framing far-reaching views towards the sea. Doors open onto a private BALCONY, while a DRESSING ROOM and ENSUITE complete this peaceful retreat.
BEDROOM TWO enjoys attractive sea views and a Velux™ window, while BEDROOM THREE offers similar proportions and excellent natural light. Both rooms are finished in neutral tones, providing flexible space for family, guests, or home working.
The FAMILY BATHROOM is well-appointed with contemporary fittings, subtle tiling, and skylights that enhance both light and space.
Outside
The outside space has been thoughtfully designed to provide a stylish, low-maintenance setting. A paved GARDEN creates a clean and contemporary area, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing without the upkeep of larger grounds. Despite its manageable size, the layout makes excellent use of space, maintaining both practicality and a sense of openness. A garden shed offers useful additional storage.
The elevated position enhances privacy while allowing the surrounding open landscape and distant sea views to remain a defining feature. The property also benefits from an integral SINGLE GARAGE and generous driveway parking, complementing the home’s well-considered design and overall functionality.

Situated on the Isle of Portland, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, the property enjoys access to dramatic coastal scenery, open countryside, and renowned sailing waters. The area is well known for its natural beauty and outdoor lifestyle, with coastal walks, water sports, and nature reserves all nearby.
