AN EXCEPTIONALLY VERSATILE DETACHED HOUSE ENJOYING AN ELEVATED POSITION WITH SPECTACULAR VIEWS TO THE SEA AT LYME BAY ON THE WORLD HERITAGE JURASSIC COASTLINE AND A PLEASANT 15 MINUTE WALK TO THE TOWN AND BEACH<br/><br/>THE PROPERTY<br/>Built in the 1970's of attractive Purbeck stone and rendered elevations under a tiled roof, this wonderful family home sits in an enviable position overlooking Lyme Bay, with views across the town and to the sea, and taking in the famous Cobb Harbour.<br/>The house is arranged over two levels, with much of the principal accommodation situated on the first floor to take full advantage of its wonderful position, with the ground floor offering enormous potential for income and or multi-generational living arrangements, or indeed space to work from home.<br/>The welcoming reception hall really does set the scene being spacious and light and incorporating a galleried stairwell with an impressive picture window. To one side, is a large room offering great versatility with a utility and store running behind. This is currently used as an office/ground floor bedroom, which works well with having a shower room along the hall. It affords good light with sliding doors opening onto a pretty landscaped garden and paved terrace with lovely views to the town and sea. To the other side, a door provides access to the double integral garage, with electric up and over doors. This is an extensive space, with more than enough room for two cars. A further store sits behind this and has been used in the past as a studio and workshop. This entire space could lend itself to be annexed, with enormous income potential (STPC)<br/>The first floor is quite simply as good as it gets, with a spacious and light filled L shaped sitting/dining room with two sets of sliding doors leading out onto a wraparound balcony with glass balustrading admiring views to coastline and surrounding countryside, not to mention beautiful sunsets. This is a truly magical space in which to entertain family and friends alike with plenty of room for relaxing, dining and socialising. An archway leads from here into the kitchen, which is newly fully fitted with a range of wall and base units and integrated appliances, and gives access to the rear garden.<br/>To the other side of the landing are three bedrooms, the principal with a newly fitted full ensuite bathroom and enjoying views out to sea, and two further good-sized double bedrooms, one with sea views, sharing a family bathroom. <br/><br/>OUTSIDE<br/>Approached via a quiet cul de sac consisting of just six houses, a private driveway leads up to the front of the house arriving at the double garage with ample parking to the front.<br/>The gardens have been well designed and beautifully landscaped providing ease of access from various rooms in the house. To the front there is a pretty paved terrace with views across the town and to the sea with a small, grassed area, centred around a crab apple tree.<br/>The side garden sits beneath the balcony and is again thoughtfully landscaped and terraced with the pond as the focus point. Steps from here lead up to the rear garden area, with raised beds and greenhouse at the very top. A garden gate gives access onto Timber Hill, leading to 'The Spittles' which is a glorious hillside woodland, offering fantastic walks from the doorstep and connecting to the Southwest coast path and covered in a haze of bluebells and wild garlic during the Spring months.<br/>All in all, this would make the most wonderful primary or secondary home in this much desired coastal location.<br/><br/>LOCATION<br/>Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the Cobb, (made famous by Jane Austin and John Fowle's French Lieutenants Woman) and the harbour. These along with the stunning surrounding countryside and coastline all justify Lyme Regis's worldwide reputation. Lyme Regis and the Bay are situated at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a major centre for fossil collecting. The town has an excellent selection of facilities, including many independent shops as well as the familiar high street brands. There are two supermarkets, a number of restaurants, notably the award winning Harriet Mansell's Lilac, as featured in the Michelin listing 2022, and the boutique Alexander Hotel, as well as its own Theatre. <br/>The nearby town of Axminster just five miles away has a large supermarket and a variety of independent shops and cafes, and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The larger city of Exeter lies some 30 miles away, with an international airport and large range of facilities and high street shopping, including a large John Lewis.
