Description
A beautifully presented semi-detached period cottage conveniently situated at Preston and within easy access to Overcombe beach.
The Property - A charming and beautifully presented period semi detached cottage conveniently situated at Preston, close to a range of local amenities and a short walking distance to Overcombe beach.
Dating from the 1890s with attractive stone elevations, the cottage has been substantially extended, creating a spacious and versatile home with abundant natural light from east and south facing elevations.
On the ground floor, an entrance porch leads into a delightful open plan sitting/dining room enjoying a double aspect, south facing bay window and French doors opening to the garden and sun terrace. There is an attractive stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and door with stairs to the first floor. An inner lobby leads to a bedroom/study room with side aspect windows and access into a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with wall and floor cupboards, wall-mounted Worcester Bosch gas boiler, induction hob, electric oven, integrated fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. A side door leads to a utility room and ground floor bathroom with a modern white suite including a 'P' shaped bath with shower over and fully tiled walls and flooring with door into a recently converted en-suite double bedroom ideal for guests or dependant relative.
On the first floor landing access leads to an insulated loft space and a contemporary fitted shower room, again fully tiled throughout. There are 2 further double bedrooms, one having a range of built-in wardrobes.
Outside - A brick paved driveway off Preston Road provides off road parking. The gardens are situated to the south side of the cottage with a further driveway off Wyke Oliver Road leading to concrete hardstanding off road parking for several cars. Immediately adjoining the rear is a paved Indian Sandstone sun terrace with wrought iron railings enjoying a south facing aspect. Steps lead to attractive lawned gardens stocked with shrubs, plants and a fine Magnolia tree.
Situation - The property is situated on the outskirts of Weymouth in one of the area's most popular locations. It's just a short walk to the dog-friendly beaches at Bowleaze Cove, Preston and Overcombe where there are regular swimmers and a great spot for paddle boarding and kite surfing. There are stunning, countryside walks towards the SW coast path within a short distance from the cottage at Furzy cliff on Bowleaze Coveway and to a choice of cafés overlooking the sea.
The wide range of local amenities is close by including a post office / general store, deli/off-licence, public houses and restaurants.
