A modern detached house situated at the end of a cul-de-sac close to the town centre and seafront. We understand that the property was constructed approximately 22 years ago and provides versatile accommodation with both ground floor, and first floor bedrooms, both of which have en-suites. Lovely views are enjoyed over Lyme Regis from most of the front facing windows and balcony. The accommodation briefly comprises: hall with wide access cloakroom, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, utility room and a large garage with door from the hall. On the first floor there is a part galleried landing with access to a balcony, w.c, living / dining room, kitchen and double bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Outside, there is off road parking for two/three vehicles, with access to the garage, and gardens (now somewhat overgrown) that slope down to the River Lym. To the rear there are raised gravel areas with steps leading to a gate and two further car parking spaces.
Although the property would benefit from a programme of updating, it does provide flexible accommodation with the potential to create two one bedroom flats or to convert the large garage into a living room and the utility room into a kitchen making a ground floor suite, (subject to consents).
The seaside resort of Lyme Regis, famed for its historic connections and the Cobb Harbour remains popular with visitors. The town retains much of its original charm and a good variety of shops restaurants and places of interest to visit. There are many events throughout the year including a good range of live music and for those who would rather be on the sea, there are sailing and gig rowing clubs. This expanse of coast line has been designated a World Heritage Site and is affectionately known as the Jurassic coast. Bus services run regularly between the local towns of Bridport and Axminster, where the station runs a mainline service to London Waterloo and Exeter. The property is very well placed for proximity to the highly regarded Woodroffe Secondary School, which has been described by Ofsted as `outstanding`, with many house hunters seeking an address within the catchment area. Alternatively, the Colyton Grammar School, which is constantly ranked as one of the best in the country is approximately 8 miles to the west.
