Colway Lane, Lyme Regis, Dorset

A beautifully presented detached house located along an established lane amongst other individual properties. The house is centrally set within its own grounds, having gardens to front and back with a driveway and turning space, a double garage and an additional single garage. The large sun terrace adjoining the house offers sea views and is a wonderful place to entertain or relax. Internally, the property is flooded with light and decorated with soft restful colour schemes. Off the central hallway is a good sized living room with modern wood burning stove, separate dining room, two ground floor bedrooms (or one bedroom and a study), ground floor bathroom, contemporary kitchen with fitted appliances and a large utility room. Stairs rise from the dining room to the first floor, where there is a good landing space leading to two more double bedrooms, both of which have en-suites (one with shower and the other with a bath). The house offers plenty of built-in storage.
Outside, the driveway leads up to a turning and parking area and also to both garages. Mature hedges provide good privacy for the pretty front garden, which is well stocked with flowering shrubs. Steps leads up to the main entrance and raised sun terrace from where there are lovely sea views. The rear lawned garden rises from the back of the house and is also very well stocked with a lovely variety of shrubs and plants. There is a very sturdy timber garden building to one side, which serves as hobby room/workshop and at the top of the garden is a small summer house.

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.
