Grand four bedroom house in Lyme Regis for sale at £1.875m

This substantial detached residence occupies an elevated position within a 0.46 acre plot on a private road off Greenway, in the historic coastal town of Lyme Regis.

The beautifully renovated home benefits from stunning panoramic views of the Lyme Bay cliffs, stretching past Golden Cap and along Chesil Beach towards Portland.

The distinctive property, named Highlands, was built in the 1930s by Caddy, a local builder renowned for crafting quality homes in Lyme Regis. Over the course of time, the beautifully presented dwelling has been vastly improved, and it now has a seamless blend of character features mixed with modern additions using high-specification materials.

Its character features include extensive wall panelling, an impressive staircase, half-timbering on the front elevation, and wide bay windows. Its more recent additions include a premium kitchen, luxurious bathrooms and A-rated windows.

On the ground floor, there are four reception rooms and a separate area that contains the utility, boot room and extra storage space. Beyond the hallway, there is a light-filled sitting room that is well-proportioned and spacious with a classic feature fireplace. This leads to the sizable kitchen/dining room that has a free-flowing open-plan layout. The beautifully appointed kitchen has a classic look with pale grey shaker-style units, quality worksurfaces, a central island and parquet flooring. From here, a door opens into a truly impressive sunroom that is bathed in natural light and has direct access to the garden. A handy home office completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, there are four large double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms benefit from luxury ensuite bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms have direct access to the large, decked sun terrace which has the most stunning views of the coastline.

Outside, stunning south-facing gardens wrap around the house and feature an abundance of mature plants and strategically placed trees. This tastefully landscaped garden provides a perfect backdrop to take in the striking sea views.

At the front of the property, the large parking and turning area is well-screened by tall hedges, offering a high degree of privacy.
