3 bed detached house for sale

Hill Road, Lyme Regis DT7

Handsome detached three bedroom house with wonderful views across Lyme Bay within walking distance of both the beach and the shops.

The Property

Estlym is believed to have been built in the 1930s and was completely refurbished 20 years ago, retaining all the character features of the original house and installing all those essentials for 21st century living. But this house is all about its location. It lies in an elevated position above Lyme Regis town taking in some wonderful panoramic views across Lyme Bay towards the Isle of Portland, yet lies within short walking distance of both the town centre and the beach. An outstanding combination!

There are three good reception rooms on the ground floor, with a spacious kitchen/breakfast room arranged with a dining area into the bay window to the front, and a fully fitted kitchen behind. To the centre of the house, the formal dining room flows through to a conservatory that is laid to a ceramic tile floor and has double doors onto the gardens taking in the best of the views. The sitting room also takes in the views and has a fireplace equipped with an ornamental coal-effect gas fire as its focal point, and double doors out onto the decked terrace and garden. There is also a downstairs cloakroom off the hallway.

Upstairs there are three good bedrooms, the principal of which has an ensuite shower room, with the two remaining bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. The property is in good decorative order throughout, has UPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating.

Outside

To the front of the property there is a driveway that provides parking and turning for a number of cars, while to the rear is a private enclosed garden laid to lawn and edged by well-stocked herbaceous and shrub planting. To the end of the garden there is an ornamental pond next to a pergola topped seating area, and behind this is a screened greenhouse and a pair of useful wooden sheds.
