Summary Offered to market in very good order throughout is this handsome period home which is situated in an elevated position in Old Wyke Village, commanding panoramic coastal views and boasting spacious, versatile accommodation. Description 'Summerhays House' was built in around 1835 in the village of Wyke Regis, now part of the larger Weymouth area, but still retaining its quaint local charm and architectural history. The house sits back from the street as the first of three properties on an attractive terrace of brick construction with Flemish bond frontages beneath slate roofs. The property has gone through extensive renovations over the years and has just been redecorated throughout, providing a turn-key opportunity for the new owner, whilst providing great potential to configure its versatile layout to suit. Currently, accommodation is spread over three floors, with an additional 1 bedroom annexe on the fourth floor. All floors offer superb views across the rooftops of Wyke, to Chesil Peninsula and The Isle of Portland. The front door is accessed via the front garden and composite decking. It leads to an entrance lobby with a glazed internal door into the hallway where stairs lead to the first floor and a further door gives access to the ground floor reception rooms and kitchen. The bright sitting room to the front enjoys an arched sash window and has a fitted television unit, along with a feature fireplace and log burner. The dining room has a decorative fireplace and fitted cupboard to one side, a fitted TV unit, and French Doors to the rear courtyard. The modern fitted kitchen boasts an extensive range of base and wall-mounted cabinets including all integrated appliances including a full-height fridge, full-height freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, double eye-level oven, and an induction hob beneath an extractor hood. Additionally, there is a stainless sink and drainer and a small breakfast bar. French Doors provide considerable light and open onto the rear courtyard, offering elevated and far-reaching views; a perfect place to watch the sunset. The first floor landing gives access to two double bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the shower room with toilet and basin. Bedroom One to the front aspect is extremely spacious and features a fitted basin and a stunning sash bay window that overlooks the garden and village beyond towards the sea. Bedroom Two to the rear aspect is a generous double with views over to the Church, and a fitted wardrobe. The second floor landing has a vast range of storage cupboards and gives access to two generously sized double bedrooms with the same front and rear aspects, both with fitted wardrobes. On the third floor, there is a separate annexe which features a kitchen and living area, bedroom, and bathroom which requires fitting out. Outside to the front, the garden is enclosed and accessed from the street via an iron gate and steps that wind up onto the lawn which is bordered by mature shrubs and planting. The decked terrace offers commanding views and offers the perfect place to dine or lounge whilst enjoying the Southerly aspect and views. To the rear, the courtyard has fabulous views to the West whilst offering another great al-fresco dining area. Furthermore, there is a quaint wildlife pond and water feature and a large storage shed situated behind the house. Location The property is situated within the peaceful old village area of Wyke Regis, a conservation area. There is easy access to local shops, public houses, well-regarded schools and other amenities, such as a library, village hall, and health centre. The area is served by a bus route which runs frequent services directly into Weymouth and to Portland, respectively. The Fleet Nature Reserve is also within walking distance of the property, where wonderful coastal walks can be enjoyed. The wonderful facilities at the National Sailing Academy, Portland Harbour and Osprey Quay Marina are a short drive away. Weymouth itself is a bustling seaside town with an award-winning beach and splendid esplanade which, along with the Old Harbour, offers a plethora of fantastic places to eat and drink.
