3 bed detached house for sale

Spring Head Road, Lyme Regis DT7

A beautifully presented detached split level bungalow offering flexible accommodation along with stunning views over Lyme Bay, established gardens and large double garage. In all about 0.5 acre (0.2 ha).

The Property

Spring Acre is a highly individual split-level bungalow situated in a delightful setting on the edge of the village with far reaching coastal and countryside views down to Lyme Bay. The property was originally constructed during the 1980’s with a combination of Purbeck stone and part render elevations under a traditional tiled roof, having been architecturally designed to benefit from the location. The current owners have recently built a large double garage within the grounds as well as replacing the former electric night storage heaters with an air source heat pump. The addition of two downstairs rooms, below the main accommodation, means that this property offers a great deal of versatility.

Accommodation

The spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors and is extremely versatile. On the ground floor is a reception hall leading into an open plan sitting room with a large bay window offering a south west and sunny aspect and taking advantage of the far reaching views over Uplyme, the surrounding countryside and Lyme Bay. An archway leads through into a dining room, again enjoying a dual aspect. The accommodation flows through to a Moben fitted kitchen with a range of oak fronted wall and base cupboards, built-in oven, four ring hob and tiled flooring. There are two spacious double bedrooms with the master bedroom suite fitted with an extensive range of built-in wardrobes and a dresser and features a smart en-suite bathroom with white suite and separate shower enclosure. Opposite the second bedroom is a smart shower room. From the hallway stairs lead down to the lower ground floor and a further large double bedroom/annexe room which includes a kitchenette, shower room and its own pedestrian door to the outside. The lower ground floor offers further scope to create a larger annexe or private workspace away from the main accommodation by converting the former integral garage, now a boot room, into additional accommodation.

Outside

From the lane a shared driveway leads onto a large private driveway belonging to Spring Acre, with turning area and access into the double garage. To the front of the property is an area of lawned gardens, surrounded by mature trees with a path and steps leading up to the front door and a large paved terrace with wrought iron railings enjoying superb views across Uplyme and Lyme Regis to the sea. The gardens extend around the side and rear with large expanses of lawned gardens bounded by hedges and trees. In total the gardens extend to around 0.5 acre (0.2 ha).
