6 bedroom detached for sale

A striking and substantial detached Edwardian house situated close to the town centre enjoying panoramic views over Lyme Bay and the West Dorset coastline.

Stonebarrow View is a striking and substantial detached Edwardian house built, we understand, in about 1910 by local respected builders, William Caddy and sons who in 1901 completed the construction of the Philpot Museum.

The property has been under the current ownership for over seven years, and is extremely well presented throughout. There are many original features but, with modern amenities including a beautiful kitchen diner/living area and stylish en-suite to the main bedroom. In addition the current owners have replaced the majority of the windows with sympathetically styled double-glazed units.

The rear wing of the property has a kitchen, two bedrooms as well as an additional parking area. This wing can be used as an extension of the already substantial property or would also make an ideal holiday let or long-term rental property.

The property is approached by a private driveway off Pound Road (shared by a small number of neighbouring quality houses) and occupies an enviable elevated location, with the house enjoying spectacular views over Lyme Bay and the coastline. Whilst the property is tucked away and secluded, Stonebarrow View is only a few minutes walk from the town centre and sea front.

Location
Lyme Regis is famed for its many historic connections and character buildings, and of course, for its well known Cobb Harbour. As a resort, it is considered quite unspoilt, but has most of the shops and amenities that one could require, in addition to which there are numerous leisure activities including both sailing and power boat clubs, a cliff top golf course and a bowling club. The whole coastline with Lyme Regis and Charmouth at its centre has recently been designated a World Heritage Site commonly known as the Jurassic Coast. It lies approximately 5 miles from the market town of Axminster, with its main line railway connections to Exeter (41 minutes) and Waterloo (Approx. 2 hours). Taunton and Exeter are within a radius of about 30 miles with access to the M5 motorway and the county town of Dorchester is a similar distance. Locally there are primary schools in Lyme Regis and Uplyme along with the well respected Woodroffe and Colyton Grammar Schools.
