Situated on the sought-after Alexandra Road in Lodmoor, a pleasant tree-lined road conveniently located for Greenhill Gardens, Weymouth’s award-winning beach and picturesque seafront promenade, this substantial Edwardian end-of-terrace family home offers an abundance of character, versatile accommodation and generous outside space.
Originally constructed in 1905, the property has been lovingly occupied by the current family for approximately 40 years and provides a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has been cherished and carefully maintained. A particularly unique feature of the property is the extensive handcrafted woodwork created by a previous owner, a highly skilled carpenter whose craftsmanship is evident throughout the home. Bespoke fitted furniture, cabinetry and timber detailing combine to create a property full of warmth, individuality and character.
The accommodation is entered via an entrance porch leading into a lobby, which in turn opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hallway. An attractive turned wood staircase rises to the first floor, creating an impressive first impression. The ground floor offers a comfortable lounge, separate dining room, utility room and shower room. The generous proportions of the dining room provide flexibility for those seeking additional accommodation, with potential for use as a ground-floor bedroom, home office or hobby room if required.
To the first floor, a spacious split-level landing leads to the principal accommodation. Originally designed as a four-bedroom home, the property is currently arranged as three bedrooms together with a former fourth bedroom that has been converted into a first-floor kitchen, complete with handmade fitted units. This room could easily be returned to use as a fourth bedroom, allowing purchasers to configure the accommodation to suit their individual requirements. A family bathroom also serves the first floor.

Further versatility is provided by a spacious loft room accessed via a loft ladder. The loft benefits from double-glazed Velux windows and substantial storage areas within the eaves.
Many original features remain throughout the property, including bay windows, wooden shutters, polished timber flooring and period detailing, all contributing to the home’s appealing Edwardian character. Whilst some buyers may choose to update certain decorative elements to reflect contemporary tastes, the property presents an excellent opportunity to create a truly exceptional family home whilst retaining its unique heritage and craftsmanship.
Outside, the property occupies a generous plot with a rear courtyard and an impressive detached timber-built garage/workshop situated at the rear of the garden. Accessed via a right of way, this valuable space offers excellent potential for secure parking of multiple vehicles, a campervan, caravan or boat, whilst also providing workshop and storage facilities.
A further interesting feature is the detached sauna room with adjoining shower facility. The vendors have advised that the sauna has not been used for several years and prospective purchasers should undertake appropriate servicing before use.
Properties of this size, character and versatility are rarely available in such a desirable location, and an internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this unique family home has to offer.
