Vendor comment

“It was the incredible sea views and sunsets that made us fall in love with this house. I wanted to make it into an ‘artists house’ and made the 6M long party wall a ‘gallery' to show my work. It has also been used for this purpose by visiting artists and by the local arts organisation. The back garden offers a higher level area that could have an artists studio with spectacular views across the harbour. The famous coastal path is literally 3 minutes from the front door and we made many walks across the unique and dramatic landscape that is Portland. For people who keen on sailing or other water sports, the harbour, which is ten minutes walk downhill, offers Olympic level facilities.”
