Description

Nestled in the heart of Wakeham is this STYLISH CHARACTER HOME offering FOUR BEDROOMS, THREE RECEPTION ROOMS AND A SECLUDED GARDEN, complete with CARPORT and OFF-ROAD PARKING. Set across three floors, the property boasts a wealth of PERIOD FEATURES including bay windows, original fireplaces, high ceilings and decorative cornicing. Internally, it has been TASTEFULLY DECORATED with an artistic flair, blending charm with functionality. A VERSATILE LAYOUT makes it ideal for family living, home working or multigenerational use. Perfectly placed for local amenities, schools, Portland’s stunning coastal walks and the iconic Church Ope Cove where the current owner has a beach hut.

Entry to the property is gained via a solid wooden door with Belmont House scribed above. Stepping through, a hall with Victorian floor tiles, high ceilings and dado rail welcomes you in. The inviting living room, where a grand bay window bathes the space in natural light. Classic cornicing, soft sage-green walls, and a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove create a cosy yet elegant atmosphere.
Flowing through to the dining room, you’ll find another generously proportioned space, brimming with personality. Coral-toned walls and eclectic touches give this room a cheerful, artistic energy. Large windows offer views to the rear garden, and there’s ample space for a full dining set or even a creative workspace.

Next, the charming galley kitchen offers a mix of rustic and modern appeal. With natural wooden cabinetry, butler sink, exposed stonework and white-painted flooring, the kitchen is both functional and full of character. String lights and colourful accents add a touch of playfulness, while windows to one side flood the room with light. The kitchen also boasts a large range range cooker.

At the rear, a lobby/ breakfast room area leads to a convenient shower room. Thoughtfully designed, this space doubles as a utility area, with built-in cabinetry, worktop space, and plumbing for a washing machine. . The lobby also leads into the garden room, a tranquil space perfect as a reading nook, plant conservatory or hobby room.

Double doors open directly onto the secluded, southerly-aspect garden, a leafy stone-paved oasis framed by mature greenery and climbing vines. It’s an ideal spot for sunny lunches or evening drinks under the stars. The space also benefits from two roomy sheds.

Heading upstairs, you’ll find four beautifully appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom at the front of the house is a bold and elegant space, finished in rich red tones with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and a feature fireplace with ornate tiling.
The large window brings in ample light, making it both a restful and uplifting room.

The second bedroom (currently set up with twin beds) offers leafy garden views and a soft green palette that creates a serene feel. Original features like the cast iron fireplace and deep skirting boards continue the home’s charming character.

The family bathroom on this floor is a showstopper: spacious, bright and stylishly finished. A freestanding roll-top bath takes centre stage, flanked by a stone feature wall and contemporary fittings. The room also hosts a large walk-in shower encased by stylish blue ceramic tiles. With dual windows, a generous sink area, and natural tones throughout, it’s a space that feels luxurious yet relaxed — ideal for long soaks and slow mornings.

Upstairs again, there is a large built-in linen cupboard, and the top floor offers two further rooms full of potential. One is a generous double with sloped ceilings and crisp white walls — a quiet retreat with room to spread out. The other is a well-proportioned double bedroom: currently utilised by the owner as a creative studio, complete with sunny aspect window, with wash-hand basin in addition. Both bedrooms offer extensive sea views!
