    About this property

    • Completed to a high specification, Anchor House blends contemporary architecture with traditional Purbeck stone, creating a home that sits naturally within its spectacular coastal surroundings. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the property is fully electric and supported by solar panels, helping to keep running costs low. A private road leads to the property, where a generous driveway provides ample parking and is framed by attractive stone gate piers and a substantial front garden.

      The design flips the traditional layout to maximise light and the views. Four well-proportioned guest bedrooms occupy the ground floor, two with stylish en suite shower rooms, and all finished to an exceptional standard. This level also includes a family bathroom, a utility/larder, an integral garage with electric door and a versatile gym/additional bedroom. This room could also be used as a cinema room if desired.

      Arriving on the first floor, the outlook opens up immediately: full-height glazing draws the eye to the cove and open sea beyond. An open-plan reception spans the depth of the house, with a beautifully crafted kitchen (large island and walk-in larder) flowing into a generous dining area for relaxed entertaining. To the seaward side, the living room centres on a fireplace and slides onto the expansive balcony with glass balustrade, perfectly oriented for sun and sea. A cosy snug offers a second sitting space with fireplace, and a large study provides a quiet work-from-home area.

      The principal bedroom suite is a standout: superb coastal views, a fitted dressing room and a luxurious en suite complete with separate bath and walk-in shower. From the reception hall, a timber staircase rises to an electronically opening glazed roof hatch, revealing a private roof terrace that provides an atmospheric spot for sunset drinks and dining high above the cove.

      Outside, unusually large gardens for this location wrap around the house, backing onto woodland and providing a good level of privacy. To the rear, a broad, sheltered entertaining terrace is linked by wide sliding doors to both the kitchen/dining space and the living room, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

      Lawns and further level areas sit to the side, offering scope for additional landscaping or an outdoor kitchen if desired. A large shed in the corner of the garden provides additional storage.

      In all, a rare turnkey coastal home in one of the UK's most iconic seascapes, combining architectural quality, generous outside space and captivating, front-row views over Lulworth Cove.
