A stunning, 4 storey, bow-fronted Georgian house built for the Earl of
Wilton in 1812 right on the water’s edge in one of the prettiest harbours on the South Coast.
The Captain’s House, in the heart of historic Weymouth, is elegant and fun. It
is perfectly located for exploring the newly designated Jurassic Heritage Coast, Chesil Beach, the Isle of Portland and the Dorset
countryside, while within a 5 minutes walk or less are pubs, restaurants and shops, sandy beaches with safe sea bathing and fishing and sea adventure trips. A few feet
from the front door is the cantilever Town Bridge which opens every 2 hours in summer to allow boats through to the inner harbour. Just outside the windows, large sea-going yachts tie up overnight waiting their turn to pass
under the raised bridge. All 4 floors have spectacular views along the length
of the bustling harbour with its fishing vessels and sailing boats, and beyond along the coast towards Lulworth Cove.
On the ground floor, the spacious main room is panelled in richly
coloured old ships timbers, with to the rear, a large, light and airy kitchen/dining room leading into a conservatory and garden. Below, in “The Bilges”, reached by stone steps, is a games room, a shower room and a
laundry room, with massive iron RSJ’s in the ceiling, installed as an insurance against stray Luftwaffe bombs aimed at Portland
Harbour. Under the eaves in the roof, the “Crows Nest” bedroom is a magical hideaway for children reached by ladder
stairs and with its own unique panoramic view over the town rooftops to the distant chalk hills and the tall finger of Admiral Hardy’s
Monument.
In complete contrast to the sound of lapping water and hum of town and harbour life to the front of The
Captain’s House, the garden at the rear is a secret oasis of peace and tranquillity. Enclosed
by high stone walls, the large courtyard garden is full of colour, scent and birdsong, and provides a private suntrap to soak up the
hot summer sunshine
