About this property

Tucked away in the village of Fortuneswell is this beautiful, terraced, three-storey house in Dorset, Pebbles Reach. With Chesil Beach just a stone's throw away, this dog-friendly abode is ideal for families looking for a holiday by the sea, providing off-road parking, an enclosed terrace, and local amenities close by. Step inside to find a fully equipped kitchen/diner to stock up the cupboards, whip up home-cooked meals, and gather your loved ones around the table for eight. After sandy beach days, freshen up in the cloakroom/utility with a washing machine, before locating the first-floor sitting room. Enjoy relaxing in this neutral space with a large corner sofa, Smart TV, and large patio doors bringing in plenty of light and lead to your private first floor terrace. Why not dine al fresco in this sunny spot with outdoor seating? However, if you're in need of a quiet escape, take your book and cup of tea to the summerhouse. You'll also find a twin room on the first floor, a pretty space decorated with children in mind, and the family bathroom finished to a high standard with bath, shower over, and heated towel rail. The second-floor hosts two more bedrooms, the master double with sea views and an en-suite shower room, and a family room with double, single, and a TV, both with plenty of storage space and beautifully presented. Fortuneswell is a superb base for your Dorset retreat with pubs and restaurants such as The Cove House Inn overlooking the beach and Chesil Chippie, while you can stock up at the local convenience stores. The Isle of Portland has plenty to see and do, whether that's discovering local history at Portland Castle and Portland Museum, visiting the animals at Fancys Farm, or embarking on a coastal trek all the way to Portland Bill Lighthouse. You'll have the glorious Chesil Beach on your doorstep along the West Dorset Heritage Coast for plenty more coastal hikes to see the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast for yourself; why not book a boat trip at Wild Chesil Centre for a chance to see local wildlife? A great base for touring, be sure to visit the town of Weymouth for swimming and sunbathing along Weymouth Beach, the bustling Weymouth Harbour, and SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth. RSPB Lodmoor and Radipole Lake are two lovely nature reserves for those hoping to see the local birdlife! Pebbles Reach offers a memorable staycation in Dorset, all year-round.

The village of Fortuneswell is on the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula, joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach, a pebble spit that stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. With stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling Dorset hills beyond, Fortuneswell has a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as an intriguing maze of streets that wind their way up a steep hill. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its birdwatching opportunities, and with Weymouth only 5 miles away, this is a holiday destination not to be missed!
