The Property
The Hawthorns is a truly unique contemporary home which has been much improved and extended since its original construction in 2011. Set across two floors and offering approximately 2,800 sq ft of accommodation, the property is designed to maximise natural light and the beautiful outlook across the south facing gardens. The property seamlessly blends modern styling and energy efficiency with natural materials used throughout the internal design and décor. Excellent eco credentials increase the desirability and assist with the day to day running costs. These include a rainwater harvesting system, solar panels with feed in tariff and heat recovery ventilation system. The recent addition of the first floor extension to the eastern elevation enhances the front façade and creates balance to one of the finest homes located along Rhode Lane.
Accommodation
The spacious full height reception hall is flooded with light and incorporates a bespoke oak and glass curved staircase to the first floor galleried landing. The addition of a spherical chandelier and circular domed atrium provides the wow factor which continues throughout. At the heart of this home is the kitchen/family room overlooking the gardens. Full height sliding doors adorn the rear elevation and lead out to a sunken terrace which offers a sheltered outdoor seating area ideal for alfresco dining. The kitchen was completely remodelled and installed by Axminster Kitchens in recent years and includes a full range of integrated Siemens appliances, quartz work surfacing, Quooker tap and island. A separate utility room, off the main hallway, provides additional storage and space for utilitarian appliances. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation has been shrewdly designed and offers a great deal of flexibility to buyers. This currently consists of a second reception room along with a ground floor bedroom and shower room. The use of a small inner hallway between the main entrance hall allows this area to be used as an annexe or guest area to the main house. Alternatively, the downstairs arrangement could be considered as a way of future proofing your time at The Hawthorns for many years to come.
To the first floor is a sizeable sitting room with large picture window overlooking the gardens and three generous double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and storage. The master suite features a triple aspect, along with sliding doors out to a large south facing balcony and a beautiful en-suite shower room with walk in shower. A light and airy study/5th bedroom adjoins the master suite which can also access the balcony. The family bathroom completes the accommodation to the first floor. The attention to detail and quality of the construction, married with the high end specification of fixtures and materials, makes this home one of the most exceptional in the area.
Outside
From the lane side a gated block paved driveway provides ample parking and access to both double garages set behind a beech hedge providing natural screening from the lane. Expansive level lawned gardens surround the house and have been tastefully landscaped and maintained by the current owners. There is a wide variety of established shrubs, seasonal flowers and trees providing year round interest. The sunken terrace spans the full width of the reception rooms and features an ornamental pond with a few steps leading to the lawn. Behind the integral garage is the kitchen garden. The gardens and house are well lit with external wall lighting and various outside taps around the garden are fed by the rainwater harvesting system. The total is well enclosed, offering a good degree of privacy in about 0.5 of an acre (0.2 ha).
Situation
The Hawthorns is situated on the eastern fringes of the village just a few moments from the nearby countryside and bridleway which joins The River Lym pathway into Lyme Regis. Uplyme has a good selection of local amenities including a general store/post office situated at the petrol station, village hall, public inn and cricket pitch. Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the famous centuries-old Cobb and harbour. The town offers an excellent selection of facilities including many independent shops, supermarkets and a number of restaurants and hotels, together with a theatre and various museums. A short walk from the high street is the charming award-winning sandy beach, ideal for families; the harbour, popular with anglers and those keen on deep sea fishing trips; the sailing and power boat clubs. The nearby market town of Axminster offers a good range of day to day amenities, as well as a vibrant market every Thursday and a mainline train service to London Waterloo. The property is readily accessible by road and rail with access both east and west via the A35 and A3052. There are motorway connections to the M5 at Taunton and Exeter, the latter also having a regional airport.
Sporting
Racing at Taunton, Exeter and Wincanton. Golf at Lyme Regis or Seaton. Sailing on the coast of Lyme Regis, Weymouth or West Bay. Nearby sports clubs and leisure facilities in Uplyme and Lyme Regis. Good coastal and countryside walks within the area with numerous public footpaths and bridleways.
Education
Within short distance are the sought after state schools of Mrs Ethelston’s Primary in Uplyme and Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis. School buses serve the highly acclaimed Colyton Grammar School 8 miles to the west. Private schools accessible by school transport, train or car include Perrot Hill Prep (Crewkerne) and St John’s (Sidmouth), along with the Taunton and Exeter schools.
