Pound Lane, Uplyme, Lyme Regis, Devon, DT7

A beautiful village property recently restored to an incredibly high standard, with four beautiful bedrooms, a one bedroomed studio annexe, triple garage, and absolutely stunning gardens.

THE PROPERTY
Applegarth is one of the village's truly magnificent homes, lovingly restored by the present owners with exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The result is a spectacular property, complete with a self-contained annexe, a substantial triple garage, generous off-street parking, and one of the most delightful gardens in the county.
Tucked away in one of Uplyme's most sought after positions, the property makes an immediate and lasting impression. The approach reveals a beautifully rendered and cedar-clad façade beneath a pitched tiled roof, combining character with contemporary style. Set well back from a quiet country lane, the house enjoys a charming frontage with a grass island planted with wildflowers and often visited by local wildlife. Unusually for the village, there is ample off-street parking to the front and a triple garage for any cars that may need to hide away from the elements.
On entering, it is almost impossible not to smile, a feeling that continues throughout the home. The property has been thoughtfully upgraded and elegantly decorated, showcasing superb craftsmanship, flair, and an exceptional eye for detail. The layout flows effortlessly from room to room, offering highly flexible accommodation ideally suited to both everyday living and large-scale entertaining.
This is a true haven, offering peace and seclusion while being within walking distance from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. A spacious entrance hall welcomes you in, perfect for removing boots after a country walk, with a cloakroom and power shower to one side - ideal after a day by the sea.
The ground floor features a superb sitting room with a large bay window, an inviting window seat, and a wood-burning stove. At the far end, a TV/snug area - currently used as a music room enjoys large windows and doors opening onto a beautiful covered veranda and al fresco eating area and the exceptional gardens beyond.
Adjoining this is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, beautifully designed for modern living. The same wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. The room is arranged with a generous dining/breakfast area at one end, while the kitchen itself features bespoke wall and base units, all expertly crafted by the current owners. A large central island with a handcrafted oak worktop and sink forms the heart of the space, complemented by a double oven and sliding doors opening onto the covered veranda perfect for Summer BBQ's and evenings taking full advantage of the stunning garden.
Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with doors leading onto a private gravel terrace, ideal for a morning coffee, along with a utility room and a walk-in larder with attractive tiled flooring.
Throughout, the property is presented in immaculate condition, achieving a perfect balance between character and contemporary design, with each room delivering a genuine sense of occasion.
The first floor continues to impress. The principal bedroom is truly exceptional, extending to approximately 35 ft with vaulted ceilings and offering a luxurious retreat. At one end is a newly fitted power shower, while the open-plan bathroom features a striking copper bath, specially commissioned from India. Sliding doors open to breathtaking views over what is undoubtedly one of the finest gardens in the county.
The second bedroom is equally generous, incorporating a dressing and sitting area, en suite shower room, vaulted ceilings, and garden views via sliding doors. A third bedroom provides further versatility, comfortably accommodating a double bed or serving as an excellent study, and there is also a separate family shower room.

OUTSIDE
The gardens are a standout feature, situated to the rear and creating a rare sanctuary for a village property. They would not look out of place at the Chelsea Flower Show and, if exhibited, would surely win awards. A large lawn is interspersed with beautifully planted island beds, offering an idyllic space for both children and wildlife.
The current owners are well known locally for their homemade cider, produced from the abundance of apple trees, as well as wild honey from their own bees. The garden has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly nurtured, creating a truly special setting, perfect for summer gatherings, drinks parties, or even weddings.
To the side of the property is an exceptional triple garage with a beautifully constructed one-bedroom studio annexe above. The garage is ideal for classic car storage but would also lend itself to use as a gym or games room.
Above, the annexe provides superb additional accommodation and would make an extremely successful holiday rental. It is of such a high standard that guests may find it hard to leave.
All in all this is a truly incredible property in an idyllic yet most convenient location.
