A deceptively spacious semi-detached house, quietly positioned in a no-through road just a short distance from the town and beach. Offering an appealing combination of convenience, space and flexibility, the property is currently successfully used as holiday accommodation and is offered for sale with no local occupancy restriction. Outside, there is gated off-road parking for one to two cars to the front, together with a low-maintenance courtyard garden to the rear and the benefit of rear pedestrian access.
A glazed porch provides a useful space for coats and shoes and opens into the entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor. The generous dual-aspect living/dining room extends from the front to the rear of the house, providing ample space for both comfortable seating and dining. A door from the dining area leads through to the kitchen at the rear, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, an integrated electric double oven and gas hob, together with a door opening onto the courtyard garden. Also accessed from the entrance hall is a ground floor bathroom fitted with a bath and shower.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate WC/cloakroom. A hatch provides access to the loft space, which is fully boarded and insulated, with a pull-down ladder and light.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout, gas-fired central heating via a Baxi combi boiler and the additional advantage of solar PV.
FILMING: Please contact the agent for permission prior to viewing if you would like/intend to video your viewing.
OUTSIDE
To the front, a gated parking area provides space for one to two cars. A pedestrian gate and pathway lead to the front entrance, while a further path continues along the side of the house, providing access to the rear garden.
The rear garden is arranged for ease of maintenance, with a combination of patio and gravelled areas, complemented by retaining walls and raised planting beds. Steps lead up to a rear pedestrian gate, providing access to the lane behind the property.
Beyond this gate is a rear access track, where the owners have historically enjoyed parking. We understand, however, that this land does not form part of the property.
The playing field, pavilion, multi-use games area (MUGA) and children`s playground are behind the house and the footpath provides easy access to the Rover Lim footpath.
LOCATION
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 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.
Due to the proximity of the house to the beach and town, there is also easy access to the south west coast path, including the Undercliff Nature Reserve, with walks to Charmouth and Golden Cap.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The gas combi boiler was replaced just over a year ago. The house is currently used as a holiday let, therefore viewings may only be available on changeover days or if there are no bookings.
Beyond the gate is a rear access track and the owners have historically enjoyed parking here although we understand this land does not form part of the property.
The neighbouring property has a pedestrian right of way across the rear garden for side access, although we are told that this is rarely used.
SERVICES
All mains services are connected. Water is metered. Additionally, the property benefits from solar PV panels.
