Description

Charmouth Lodge is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse where you can enjoy your slice of history in Charmouth, Dorset.

Close to the popular UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, this pet-friendly property is ideal for families and friends looking for a seaside break at any time of the year.

Occupying a prominent position in the centre of the village and close to all amenities, the house has an interesting history: It was originally part of a sail factory and then a school run by descendants of Dick Whittington.

Inside, there is a spacious four-bedroom home that retains many characterful features throughout including high ceilings, window shutters, fireplaces and a grand, ornate staircase.

Leading off the entrance hallway, the lounge is an impressive room with sumptuous seating and an open fire.

Floor to ceiling French doors flood the room with light and open onto the front garden.

The kitchen is another fabulous room with all appliances needed for creating meals the whole family can enjoy in the adjoining dining room, where you will find a large dining table and well-stocked games cupboard.

Heading upstairs, you will find the four bedrooms: a king-size room with an en-suite shower room at the rear and a further king-size bedroom and two twin rooms at the front all looking out to the village of Charmouth with some sea views.

The family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle is also located on this floor.

Outside, the enclosed rear walled garden is a great spot for enjoying some alfresco dining when the weather permits or sitting quietly with a book under the covered veranda.

Charmouth Beach, with its heritage centre and guided fossil walks, is within easy walking distance of the house.

The beach is popular with beachgoers and for water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking.

For your everyday needs, there is a village bakery, boutique selling art, general store and small supermarket with a choice of restaurants and two traditional pubs both serving a range of local food and beverages.

There is access to the Monarch's Way which is a popular cross country route which is accessed alongside the play area.

For younger guests, the house backs onto playing fields, via a private road, with a children’s playground.

The neighbouring seaside town of Lyme Regis is only a short drive or bus ride away with its iconic Cobb harbour, visitor attractions and seafront making it a great place to spend a day.

Other popular days out include Abbotsbury with its sub-tropical gardens and famous Swannery.

If you are looking for a traditional family holiday on the beach with wonderful history and fossil hunting, great walking and friendly British pubs, Charmouth Lodge is hard to beat!

Our second visit to this beautiful house in wonderful Charmouth, we love it here and love everything about the house.

Very well equipped and comfortable, private parking which is a must in Charmouth. So central in the village and close to the sea, cliffs and walks in the fields behind. Some recommendations - Swim in Lyme Regis and Hive Cafe in Burton Bradstock serve very good food and allow dogs. For fossil enthusiasts, Etches Collection in Kimmeridge is excellent. We also discovered the Tutankhamen museum in Dorchester, which is quite amazing. Well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful week at Charmouth Lodge with our two children.

It's a stunning property in a great location, just minutes from the beach. We felt at home straightaway and already miss the place! Huge thanks to Phil Dale at Sykes who sorted everything out for us - he's a star!
