Garage

A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a larger than average integral garage with 2 windows to the south. Currently it is set up as a games room/gym with a full-size table tennis table, but has annexe or holiday-let potential, subject to the relevant regulations.

Outside

The front garden is terraced and partly lawned with flowers and shrubs. Steps lead up to the front door and the sun terrace. This is a wonderful seating area with far-reaching sea views to the south. To the north there are hillside views over Preston towards Hardy's monument and to the west there are some stunning sunsets whatever the season. The rear garden is a particular feature and although there is scope for further landscaping, it enjoys spectacular long-range views over Weymouth Bay and the Lodmoor Nature Reserve. The seating area near the lounge is bordered by colourful planting. Steps lead up to the lawned gardens, stocked with shrubs, plants and trees along with some wildflower areas. The far end of the garden is enclosed by a stone wall, backing onto open fields. There are several, private, seating areas so you can benefit from the sun whenever it shines from dawn to dusk.
