The Property - Seathrift is a very attractive and imposing individual detached house set in large private gardens and enjoying beautiful sea views along the Jurassic Coast, occupying a peaceful location in a private road in the highly sought after historic town of Lyme Regis.

The property was built in circa 1946 in the exclusive, private road of Greenway, which comprises just five individual properties. It has been under the current family ownership since 1953.

The house faces southeast to the front, enjoying wonderful views over Lyme Regis and along the Jurassic Coast, taking in Golden Cap and Portland beyond. There is a host of character features, typical of its age and type, including high ceilings, cornices and fireplaces, plus the original servant bells. There is gas-fired central heating and replacement uPVC double glazed windows/doors.

The house is fairly original and would benefit from general updating with exciting potential to create a wonderful home.

Ground Floor –Sunroom, reception hall cloakroom, living room, dining room, kitchen/pantry, rear lobby, utility area, study/bedroom 5.

Agent's Notes - Seathrift, as with the neighbouring properties, is subject to covenants within the title. The vendors of Seathrift have retained a strip of land (approx. 1 meter) along the boundary to the west and north of the property to maintain similar covenants, land over which the new owners and their successors will exclusively benefit from right of way.
