Description

A rare chance to secure a distinctive piece of Dorset heritage close to the coastline, in need of modernisation. This impressive Grade II listed former gatehouse, originating from the late 18th century, once marked the formal approach to Highcliffe Castle and the historic estate of Lord Bute. With its classical Georgian proportions, East Lodge stands as a testament to refined Georgian architecture with its columned entrance, and refined exterior, the property offers an abundance of period charm.

This unique property is ideal for those looking for a rewarding refurbishment project. The accommodation, currently in need of completion of the modernisation, offers plenty of scope to tailor the space to individual requirements. The ground floor currently comprises a welcoming portico entrance, sitting room, stairs to the first floor, and a kitchen. Upstairs, the layout offers potential to configure two bedrooms a new bathroom to be installed. To the outside, the lodge benefits from a private, gated entrance with original piers and a driveway with 2 allocated off-road parking spaces.

Today, Highcliffe’s vibrant amenities are conveniently nearby. The property is just moments from the village’s boutique shops, cafés, and popular restaurants, not to mention only a gentle stroll to the stunning Highcliffe beach and scenic cliff-top walks with panoramic sea views.

Travel links are excellent, with Hinton Admiral, New Milton, and Christchurch railway stations all within easy reach, providing swift connections to London and the South Coast. Families will appreciate proximity to well-regarded local schooling, including Highcliffe St Mark Primary School, Highcliffe School, and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.

Whether as a characterful home, a unique holiday getaway, or an ideal investment, with great potential to be let on Airbnb, get in contact now.
