4 bed detached house for sale

Clappentail Lane, Lyme Regis DT7

Outstanding detached contemporary four bedroom property with exceptional views over Lyme Bay.

The Dwelling

This house is all about position and space. The property occupies an outstanding elevated position high above Lyme Regis town to the end of a private road with spectacular views over both the town and to the sea, taking in the Jurassic coastline out as far as Portland. The accommodation is dominated by two statement living rooms with much of the daytime living to be had in the large vaulted kitchen/dining/living room, which has to one end a floor to ceiling set of windows taking in the ever changing sea views throughout the year. The evening room is the sitting room, a good classic square room which again takes in the views with sliding doors to one side onto the terrace. This really is a very special house indeed.

Accommodation

The accommodation is accessed from a hallway to the front of the house with the sitting room and kitchen/dining/living room on the south-west side of the house and the sleeping accommodation on the north and east side of the property. The kitchen/dining/living room is laid to a ceramic tiled floor with a bespoke built granite topped fitted kitchen flowing through to a dining area and then a sitting area. The sitting room has sliding doors on two sides and is laid to engineered oak floors along with the rest of the house, with the exception of the bathrooms and the upstairs bedrooms. The principal bedroom lies to the end of the house and has an ensuite shower room and takes in both the sea views and views out deep into the Dorset countryside. The second bedroom also lies on the ground floor and there are two further bedrooms on the first floor with all three bedrooms sharing a bathroom with both shower and a bath. The property is in excellent decorative order throughout, has UPVC double glazing, gas fired central heating and 16 photovoltaic cells which generate 3.5 kW.

Outside

The property is approached along a private road off Clappentail Lane, leading through to a large area of drive that provides parking and turning for a number of cars and access to the garage. The garage is equipped with an up and over door, light and power. The main terrace of the house adjoins the kitchen/dining/living room and makes an outstanding outside entertaining area during the summer months, taking in the sun to the south and has a remotely operated awning, useful at the height of the midday sun. The gardens are simply laid out to lawn punctuated by mature herbaceous and shrub planting and are enclosed and made private by mature hedging.
