About this property

Highland Chapel is a delightful terraced house based in the heart of Weymouth and has been fully renovated to include a modern look whilst keeping plenty of the character that comes with the original arched chapel windows and stone work. This unique property is situated on the edge of a beautiful Victorian cemetery, and you will even find an old fountain within the outside wall. Coming through the front door brings you to the spacious hallway, into the open-plan living area that features three superb stone arched windows, and through to the fully equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for spending time together while making the evening meal. The seating area comprises of a set of plush velvet sofas which will be perfect for those tired evenings relaxing in front of the TV, after a long day at the beach. Moving up onto the first floor you will find two large double bedrooms; the master bedroom offers a Juliet balcony with double doors, giving views of the cemetery, while the second bedroom has a delightful bay window. This property benefits from having a family bathroom on the first floor including a shower over bath and a skylight, as well as a cloakroom/utility room on the ground floor which is host to a WC, sink, and washing machine. The double doors that lead out of the sitting area, take you onto a sunny terrace, which is perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening sun. Located just one mile from Weymouth's famous Georgian sea front and award-winning beach, you will be able to enjoy fish and chips on the sea front with ease, or maybe take a wander around the old harbour with an ice cream. The town centre has all of your high-street favourites as well as plenty of local independent shops, so you can discover the talents and crafts of the local people. Venture out to Lulworth Cove and see the incredible Jurassic Coastline from the water, by going on a Jurassic Kayak Tour, experiencing the coast from a unique perspective and gaining knowledge of the amazing marine life. For something totally different, travel 15 miles north, and visit Monkey World - which sees apes rehabilitated into natural living groups again after suffering abuse or neglect through smuggling of primates - and go on the journey around the centre and learn about the stories behind the primates' rescues, and maybe you'll catch some cheeky monkey business too! Highland Chapel is a striking property full of character that will only enhance your enjoyment of the lovely location of Weymouth.

The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

    .. A lovely property in a reasonable location. It is well set up. Spacious. Clean . In good condition. Everything we used worked. (Although the tv in the back bedroom apparently became very hot - might need checking) Opportunities to make it better!? The dining chairs - they might look stylish but I didn't find them comfortable. Curtains or privacy blinds downstairs might suit some, but then they would spoil the lovely stone windows. Add a dishwasher - the absence ain't the end of the world, I know, but washing pots on holiday... Things to be aware of. Parking... If it is important to you to be able to park outside the place, well, your chances are slim due to some tactical positioning, but we always found a space within a sensible distance. But if you have a large vehicle be aware that the road between parking on both sides could be a bit tight. But don't weigh up the lists - the niggles aren't serious and won't spoil your holiday.

    Has a lot of character with it's quirks. Plenty of space for us as a family of 3. Unfortunately, we did not find the property to be that clean. The whole place could do with a good dust and a thorough clean. The toilet seats are both broken. Sofa is not the most comfortable. Parking was also a little difficult as the property is at the end of a tight residential cul-de-sac with cars parked bumper to bumper up both sides of the road. We had a warm week and the bedrooms were extremely hot during the night - not a criticism, just an observation!

    The small outside courtyard is very sunny and urgently needs a sun umbrella to provide shade for the small table and four chairs.. We agree with previous comments that the bedrooms could do with curtains, especially for the side window in the main bedroom. Parking can be tricky but you can usually find a space nearby.
