A delightful cottage situated in a fantastic elevated position with three beautiful bedrooms and absolutely stunning sea and coastal views across Lyme Bay.
THE PROPERTY
Dating back to the 1890s and commanding the most wonderful elevated position with views across Lyme Bay from Black Ven to Portland Bill, within walking distance of the centre of Lyme Regis and its fabulous beaches, first glimpses of Coram Cottage are most impressive with its hugely attractive façade constructed of stone and part rendered under a twin pitched tiled roof.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a fantastic reception/dining room, ideal for entertaining and perfectly proportioned with lovely stripped wooden flooring and a wood burning stove. This flows perfectly into a fantastic fitted kitchen full of natural light and incorporating a number of attractive units and a five-ring professional Belling oven. There is direct access to the gravelled garden and sitting area, a true sun trap and ideal for al fresco dining. There is also a potting shed in the garden and the current owners have developed plans to further landscape and extend the garden (plans are available). Alongside the kitchen is a small utility/cloakroom and a lovely sitting room with its own sea and coastal views.
The beautiful bedrooms are situated on the first floor with three in total, two of which boast some of the most stunning coastal views that this wonderful area has to offer. There is also a family bathroom with skylight.
The property is presented to a very high standard, with newly fitted double glazed timber windows, Velux windows to the kitchen, and stable door
Alongside the delightful garden is gravelled parking which is a real bonus in this part of town.
All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
