The guest house is located in a quiet residential area with no through traffic and within approx. 5 minutes walk to the sea front and 15 minutes from Weymouth Harbour.
A detached property with rendered elevations under a tiled roof which is a magnificent example of Edwardian architecture. This important building was commissioned in 1902 by Sir Frederick Johnstone, a politician and as he was a close friend of King Edward V11 there is a plaque on the front elevation to commemorate the coronation.
The guest house retains many original features and has been extended to the rear to provide a two storey house for the proprietors with a large L Shaped Living Room leading to the private garden. In addition, there is a private entrance and an outstanding Kitchen/ Breakfast Room. A private staircase leads to the three first floor bedrooms, nursery/office and family bathroom.
The current owners purchased in 2017 and carried out extensive refurbishment including the building of the Kitchen and updating and equipping the guest accommodation to the highest standard. The result is a truly interesting mix of period features with a quirky feel from furniture and fittings best described as industrial chic – together with amiable hospitality, guests have voted this business on Tripadvisor as ‘Best of the Best’ – within the top 1% Worldwide.
The property benefits from gas fired central hearing and double glazing and has a recurring theme around the rooms of ammonites and other fossils reflecting the location of Weymouth on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.
