THE PROPERTY
Situated in a fantastic elevation position in a most sought-after road on the popular western side of Lyme Regis, first glimpses of Applegarth are most impressive with its most striking façade of part rendered and part clad grey/blue composite under a pitched tiled roof. This wonderful home has been very cleverly designed to take full advantage of some of the best and most enviable sea and coastal views that this wonderful coastal town has to offer. The position is quite simply 'as good as it gets!'
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with very well-presented accommodation flooded with natural light, and beautiful features such as the addition of oak doors throughout. It is very difficult not to smile, especially when taking in the views from most of the principal rooms.
There are many parts of the property worth a special mention, including the fabulous sitting room with large windows and a central ornamental stone fireplace. This leads perfectly into the most fantastic conservatory with doors leading out to the delightful garden and paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.
On the ground floor there is also a superb family kitchen which has painted bespoke oak cabinets, granite worktops and an electric Aga (pale blue) with secondary cooking facilities including an induction hob, built in oven and microwave, and plenty of room for a breakfast/dining table and even a sofa. There is also direct access via double doors to the paved terrace and views over the delightful gardens. Alongside the kitchen is a large utility room with bespoke cabinetry and granite worktops, and cloakroom, with a door out to the garden.
On the ground floor is also a large bedroom and shower room.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor with a superb master bedroom and adjoining shower room, and unsurprisingly spectacular coastal views, even when lying in bed with a morning coffee! There is another double bedroom with a Jack & Jill bathroom, also accessed by the landing. There are also two interconnecting studies/studio which could also double up as children's/guest bedrooms, such is the huge flexibility of this incredible property.
GARDENS
The gardens are an absolute delight, the house sitting perfectly on a lovely secluded plot extending to just under half an acre. The property is approached from the very popular Somers Road via a private drive which leads to a turning area with parking for ample cars. The garage can be accessed from the parking area. The garden surrounds the property and is a gardener's delight, part laid to lawn interspersed with flowering shrubs, herbaceous perennials, fruit trees and a productive vegetable plot. There is an attractive summer house, green house and ornamental pond with fish and a waterfall.
All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in a truly magical location.
LOCATION
Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the Cobb, (made famous by Jane Austin and John Fowle's French Lieutenants Woman) and the harbour. These along with the stunning surrounding countryside and coastline all justify Lyme Regis's worldwide reputation. Lyme Regis and the Bay are situated at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a major centre for fossil collecting. The town has an excellent selection of facilities, including many independent shops as well as the familiar high street brands. There are two supermarkets, a number of restaurants, notably Mark Hix's Oyster and Fish House, the boutique Alexander Hotel to name but one of the many, as well as its own Theatre.
The nearby town of Axminster just five miles away has a large supermarket and a variety of independent shops and cafes, and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
The larger city of Exeter lies some 30 miles away, with an international airport and large range of facilities and high street shopping with department stores including a large John Lewis.
