Quiet location, short walk to beach, with views of Portland and Jurassic coast

Anchor Cottage is a delightful 2 bedroom end of terrace holiday home, just a few minutes walk from sandy Smallmouth cove, offering stunning views over Portland Harbour and Chesil Beach. Located in a quiet and peaceful residential area in Wyke Regis, between Weymouth and the Isle of Portland, this cosy property is situated on the site of a former Torpedo Factory.
The cottage has been decorated and comfortably furnished to a high standard with a new bathroom and kitchen installed. On the ground floor, just off the entrance lobby there is a fully equipped kitchen and a lounge with dining area. The lounge has a dining table, Smart TV, a 3 seater sofa and armchair, with patio doors leading to a secluded pebbled garden with furniture and a raised decked area with views over Chesil Beach and Isle of Portland. A good sized shed is available for storage of bikes and a charcoal BBQ is available.
Upstairs there's a bedroom with a king sized bed with views over Portland Harbour with beautiful sunrises and the second bedroom has a choice of either a ‘zip and link’ superking bed or 2 singles. There is a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. The property offers gas central heating, electricity and WiFi, and all linen is included.
