Situation - Perfectly placed for the very best of West Dorset living, this distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home in a highly sought-after Lyme Regis neighborhood. It rests within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing easy access to open countryside and the South West Coast Path, whilst remaining close to the historic town center and the famous Cobb harbor. For commuting and broader amenities, the bustling market towns of Bridport and Axminster are nearby, with the latter providing direct mainline rail links to London Waterloo.

Description - On approaching this substantial home, you are greeted by an impressive frontage, accessed through high double hardwood gates that open onto a generous brick-paved driveway providing ample parking. This entrance area beautifully integrates a covered carport and an attached garage with an automated remote-control door. The front approach is framed by neatly maintained lawns, a variety of established shrubs, and a paved veranda dressed with potted palms and greenery, offering a wonderful hint of the mature, Mediterranean-style garden found to the rear.

Inside, character and practicality combine seamlessly across the spacious, light-filled accommodation, where almost every room is positioned to enjoy the spectacular sea and country aspect. On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall leads to a generous living and dining room featuring a gas wood burning flame effect fireplace and idyllic bi-folding doors that open into two expansive, interconnected conservatories. The beautifully appointed kitchen forms the true heart of the home, complete with wall and base units with granite worktops over, a traditional gas Aga, a cosy snug, and a dedicated office nook. This level also hosts a practical utility/shower room, a main family bathroom, and a double bedroom featuring direct access to an idyllic glass and chrome balcony.

The first-floor houses two further substantial double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities and private outdoor spaces. This includes an exceptional principal suite complete with a panoramic side balcony and a romantic Juliet balcony, offering an unparalleled personal vantage point over the stunning coastline.

Externally, the beautifully landscaped, south facing, mature gardens are a defining feature of the property, designed in a Mediterranean style and arranged over a series of terraced levels. Facing the sea, these grounds offer private brick-paved entertaining areas, hidden garden retreats, palm trees, and vibrant shrubbery, supported by a garden shed and basement storage.
