About this property

Occupying one of the most remarkable positions on the Isle of Portland, this is a truly unique coastal home set within the grounds of the The Verne Citadel, high above Portland Harbour. Commanding an elevated position, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across to Lyme bay, stretching towards Start Point and along the iconic Jurassic World Heritage coastline.

The setting is nothing short of extraordinary, this home benefits from uninterrupted sea vistas, ever changing skies and some of the most spectacular sunsets on the South Coast. The sense of space and exposure to nature is exceptional, offering a rare combination of privacy, drama and tranquillity.

Adding to its distinctiveness is the rich history woven into The Verne itself. The property forms part of a historic defence complex originally constructed in the 19th century as Verne Citadel, designed to protect Portland Harbour. HM Prison, The Verne is situated in the southern sector of The Citadel. Beneath the grounds of the property there are a fascinating network of underground tunnels and fortifications, remnants of its military past. These historic passageways are a striking reminder of the site's strategic importance and unique character.

The property itself was built in the 1960's and offers well planned and versatile family accommodation with those stunning sea views from the majority of the rooms.
