12 West Street

About this property

12 West Street is a pleasant cottage in Chickerell, Dorset, offering roadside parking on a first-come basis, a multi-tiered garden, and a handy base near the beach. Inside, the living/diner provides a welcoming hub for downtime, with a gas fire for cooler evenings and a dining table that suits shared meals after a day out. The kitchen supports relaxed self-catering, while the conservatory/utility offers useful additional space without intruding on the main living areas. Upstairs, the cottage offers a king-size bedroom and a twin, giving flexible sleeping arrangements for families or friends, along with a bathroom featuring a bath and shower over, ideal after sandy walks or blustery coastal days.

Outside, the garden unfolds across different levels, with a patio for morning coffees, garden furniture for lingering afternoons, and a summer house that adds another spot to enjoy slower moments during your stay. Chickerell itself has everyday essentials close by, including a village shop and a welcoming local pub just along the road, making it easy to settle into the rhythm of holiday life. A short drive brings you to Weymouth, where the sweeping sandy beach, historic harbour, Sea Life Centre, and bustling seafront offer classic seaside days for all ages. Dorchester provides a contrasting pace, with its museums, Roman history, and attractive streets lined with independent shops and cafés.

For striking scenery, head to the Isle of Portland, where coastal paths, lighthouse views, and dramatic cliffs frame wide sea horizons. After each day exploring, 12 West Street offers a relaxed place to return.

As well as being a delightful suburb of Weymouth, Chickerell is historically classed as a small town. These days it has more of a village vibe and offers village shops, pubs and restaurants as well as being serviced by the local bus service. There are plenty of great activities on the doorstep in Chickerell with Chesil Beach and Bennetts Water Gardens, two of the most popular. Chickerell is located just 2.9 miles from Weymouth’s award winning beach with its golden sands and shallow water. There is also a lively harbour with restaurants, cafés and bars as well as a town centre with all the local and high street amenities. The Isle of Portland is 6 miles away and offers spectacular views over the Jurassic coast line and the famous Portland Bill lighthouse.
