House For Sale £700,000
Substantial detached four bedroom bungalow with lovely views with flexible accommodation within walking distance of Lyme Regis town centre.
The property occupies an elevated position on the West side of Lyme Regis, with views over Lyme Bay and Lyme Regis town itself, yet within walking distance of all the town's many amenities. The property has been substantially enlarged and improved since being built in the 1960s, with accommodation that can be used in any number of different ways.
Much of the living space lies to the front and side of the property with a good sized reception hall to its centre, a dining room to one side and a sitting room to the other. The sitting room and dining room have attractive bay windows, with the sitting room also having a focal point of a fireplace equipped with a gas fire to one side and views out over Lyme Bay. Behind the dining room there is a kitchen equipped with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with a built-in gas hob and electric oven. Beyond the kitchen there is a useful utility room with a shower room off and doors both front and to the rear, which in turn gives way to a workshop/dog and boot room. From the hall steps lead down to 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom with one of the bedrooms currently used as a study which also has access to the conservatory, a more recent addition. The conservatory runs along much of one side of the property and has created a good day room for use throughout the seasons. Upstairs the principal bedroom has an ensuite WC and the best of the views with sliding double doors to one end onto a decked terrace that takes in all the coastal and sea views from Lyme Regis down to Portland on a fair day.
The property has gas fired central heating equipped with a condensing boiler, solar thermal panels for hot water and UPVC double glazing.
To the front of the property a hedge-flanked entrance leads through to a substantial area of driveway laid to tarmac providing parking and turning for a number of cars. The gardens surround the property on three sites and are for the most part laid to lawn edged by well-stocked herbaceous and shrub borders, designed to give shape, colour and form throughout the seasons. Within the garden there are a couple of mature apple trees and a birch tree, while the whole garden is enclosed by a mixture of mature hedging and timber fencing. Immediately to the rear of the property there is a sun terrace which makes an ideal entertaining area during the Summer months while within the garden there is a useful timber potting shed and a composting area. Underneath the house there is an undercroft which is useful for storing gardening tools
Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the famous centuries-old Cobb and harbour. In the town is an excellent selection of facilities including many independent shops, supermarkets and a number of restaurants and hotels, together with a theatre and various museums. A short walk from the high street is the charming award-winning sandy beach, ideal for families; the harbour, popular with anglers and those keen on deep sea fishing trips; the sailing and power boat clubs. The nearby market town of Axminster provides a good range of day to day amenities, as well as a vibrant market every Thursday and a mainline train service to London Waterloo.
