Lyme Regis, Dorset

This architecturally impressive, chain free detached home is set within a generous plot in a highly regarded position in Lyme Regis. Immediately distinguishing itself through its contemporary design, it has an abundance of natural light and a beautifully considered relationship with the surrounding gardens. The property has a calm yet striking presence, sitting comfortably within its landscape while offering a strong sense of privacy and space.

The whole of the downstairs provides a continuous free-flowing space between all of the rooms on this level.

The sense of drama, light and space is apparent from the moment you step inside the front door. From the HALL you look through the open DINING AREA to the impressive RECEPTION ROOM with its wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, glazed doors. This frames the rear garden with striking effect: heightened by the upwards curving ceiling. This creates a memorable first impression, and establishes a strong connection between house and landscape.

To one side the hall opens into the sitting room, and to the other the kitchen/breakfast area, creating a further feeling of openness, space and light throughout the house. The stairway leads to the upper floor, with the glass balustrades again adding to the feeling of space and light.

The STUDY provides an ideal work from home environment, with built-in storage, subtle downlighters, and a peaceful outlook across the rear gardens. Pocket doors allow the study to be closed off from the reception room if required, whilst contributing to the feeling of space in both rooms if needed.

The SITTING ROOM provides a welcoming space for conversation, TV viewing, and so on. Dual aspect windows, and its connection with the main reception room and the hallway, makes it another light and airy space. A built-in log burner enhances the area for autumn and winter evenings.

Pocket doors and cleverly designed doors allow the sitting room to be closed off if required from the reception room and hall area, to make a separate more intimate space.

The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is both welcoming and highly functional, enjoying dual aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Fitted with modern wall and base units, under counter lighting, a beautiful gas Aga™, integrated dishwasher and sink with macerator. The kitchen has a warm, practical feel that works equally well for family life and entertaining. This area flows seamlessly into the UTILITY ROOM, which is exceptionally well appointed with a full height fridge and freezer, built in microwave, tumble dryer, generous storage cupboards, a side aspect window and a door providing direct access to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a well-placed DOWNSTAIRS CLOAKROOM, fitted with a wash hand basin and benefiting from useful under stairs storage.

To the first floor, the light filled LANDING enjoys a window to the front aspect, an airing cupboard, loft hatch and the continuation of the striking glass balustrades, maintaining the feeling of openness and cohesion.

Separated by its own door to the rest of the upstairs, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM suite is a calm, light filled sanctuary, offering dual aspect windows and extensive built-in storage, including a triple wardrobe. The EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM is luxuriously appointed, featuring electric underfloor heating, a low-level walk-in shower, W.C, vanity wash hand basin, double heated towel rails, built in storage and an integrated hair dryer, all finished to a high standard.

BEDROOM TWO benefits from a side aspect window, built in wardrobes and a well-arranged EN SUITE BATHROOM, comprising a bath with mixer taps, W.C, pedestal wash hand basin and partial tiling.

BEDROOM THREE enjoys a peaceful rear aspect overlooking the garden and benefits from cleverly designed built in storage, creating a comfortable and private bedroom space.

BEDROOM FOUR is another double room, currently utilised as another study, is particularly versatile, featuring two front facing windows and an additional side aspect window. From here, there are delightful views across the surrounding countryside, complemented by a charming glimpse of the sea.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is fitted with a bath and mixer taps, W.C, pedestal wash hand basin, downlighters, shower cubicle and partial tiling, with a window to the side aspect providing natural ventilation and light.

Outside
One of the true highlights of the property is the wrap around garden, which offers a high degree of privacy through mature hedging, established trees and thoughtful landscaping. A gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to the DOUBLE GARAGE, complete with electric roller door, electric vehicle charging point and an insulated storeroom.

The REAR Garden has been carefully arranged into two distinct areas. The first is a richly planted and atmospheric space, filled with mature shrubs and trees that have been thoughtfully introduced over time, creating a truly magical environment. This area features a patio, greenhouse and a detached oak workshop with power, light and double doors, ideal for hobbies, storage or garden equipment.

A winding chipped bark path leads to a fully enclosed second garden area, which incorporates raised beds, apple and pear trees, alongside blackberry, raspberry and gooseberry bushes. This productive garden is framed by an abundance of mature planting and trees, offering a wonderfully secluded and purposeful space.
The property further benefits from eight solar panels to the rear elevation, generating approximately £1,400 per annum. The approach road is a private road owned jointly by the five properties in it. Currently there is a fee of approximately £109 per house for insurance and required civil reporting. There is a substantial reserve fund, contributions to which are currently paused, for future maintenance.
