Woodroffe Meadow, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7

This spacious and well maintained four bedroom detached house set over three stories in a quiet and convenient location with sea glimpses and gardens.

No. 8 Woodroffe Meadow forms part of an exclusive and beautifully conceived development. Now firmly established as one of Lyme Regis’ most sought after addresses, this handsome detached home occupies a discreet position within a private close, enjoying elevated sea and countryside views from the upper floors.

Completed in 2011/12 to an excellent specification, the property has since been further refined by the current owner’s tasteful improvements, creating a home of quiet elegance and enduring appeal.

The exterior, with its facing brickwork, slate roof and leadclad dormers, gives the house a timeless solidity. Inside, the accommodation unfolds across three generous levels, offering remarkable flexibility including the potential for the ground floor to serve as a selfcontained annexe with its own sitting room, bedroom, ensuite and possible kitchen. The location is exceptional: the town centre and seafront lie only half a mile away, while the highly regarded Woodroffe School is close by, with primary schools in both Lyme Regis and Uplyme. The town itself sits on the beautiful and unspoilt Jurassic Coast, awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2001.

A panelled front door framed by a Georgian style door case opens into a welcoming reception hall with tiled flooring, setting the tone for the quality found throughout the house. A cloakroom lies just off the hall, fitted with WC, hand basin and extractor. To the front of the property is a versatile room currently arranged as a sitting room or study, equally suitable as a fifth bedroom if required, with fitted cupboards, white shutters and a connecting door to the integral garage.

Also on this level is the principal groundfloor bedroom, a beautifully proportioned room with a sash window to the front and an impressive array of fitted wardrobes, including a walkin wardrobe with hanging and shelving. Its ensuite shower room is finished to a high standard with tiled shower, hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. Along the hallway is a utility room which could also serve as a kitchen if the ground floor were used as an annexe fitted with granite worktops, cupboards, a stainlesssteel sink, tiled floor, and a cupboard housing the Megaflo hot water cylinder, together with plumbing for a washing machine.

Carpeted stairs rise from the hallway to a half landing, where double French doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, bringing natural light into the stairwell and creating a charming connection with the outdoors.

The first floor forms the main living space of the house and is wonderfully suited to both everyday life and entertaining. The living room is a bright and elegant throughroom with sash windows, fitted shutters and a polished stone fireplace with living flame gas fire. Glazed double doors lead through to the dining room, creating a flowing, sociable layout ideal for gatherings. The dining room, with its twin sash windows, connects directly to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is beautifully appointed with granite worktops, fitted cupboards, integral appliances including gas hob, double electric oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and an Amtico tiled floor. This entire floor has a natural sense of openness and light, forming an inviting space for relaxed family living and entertaining.

The upper floor continues the sense of calm and comfort. The second bedroom features a dormer window, fitted carpet, radiator and a walkin wardrobe, together with its own ensuite shower room finished with tiled shower, hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. Two further bedrooms on this level each enjoy dormer windows, fitted carpets and radiators, with one offering a range of fitted wardrobes and cupboards. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a panelled bath with shower mixer, hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. The landing also includes a builtin linen cupboard and access to the loft.

Outside
The property continues to impress. To the front is a brickpaved parking area and a small garden enclosed partly by stone walling and wrought iron railings, with lawn and planted borders. The integral garage includes an electric upandover door, light and power, a door to the house, the gas central heating boiler and a useful mezzanine loft store. A gate and pathway beside the garage lead up to the rear garden, where a shed is positioned. The rear garden, enclosed and beautifully arranged, features a lawn bordered by wellstocked shrubs, climbers and small trees. A paved terrace with a roseclad pergola provides a charming focal point, while an extensive patio adjacent to the house offers an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
