3 bedroom detached house for sale

Tucked away in a wonderfully private but accessible position, this three-bedroom detached home with an approx. 1.5 acre plot represents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a project. No Onward Chain.

Situation - Well placed for local amenities with The Hunters Lodge Inn a short walk away and excellent schools nearby, including Colyton Grammar, The Woodruff Secondary and Mrs Ethelston's CE Primary Academy. The village of Uplyme (under 2 miles away) offers a shop, Post Office, petrol station, village hall, sports clubs and pub, whilst Lyme Regis provides beaches, harbour, boutique shopping, dining, health centre and theatre.

Description - Built of block and stone with a slate roof and now requiring complete modernisation, the property offers enormous scope to create a home tailored to your own style and needs. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance porch, a dual-aspect sitting room with log burner, a dining room leading to the kitchen with larder storage, and an impressive garden room extension. The latter is a particular highlight, with a lantern roof and panoramic views of the garden and countryside beyond. Sliding glazed doors open out to a decking area above the garden, a space perfect for alfresco dining. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the layout, with one bedroom benefitting from a balcony ideal for enjoying the surroundings and to appreciate this property’s enviable position.

Outside - While the house itself requires renovation, it is the outside space that makes this property truly special. Set within approx. 1.51 acres (including driveway) the extensive gardens are a delight, offering a mixture of lawn, a tranquil apple orchard, vegetable plot, and a large area of private woodland, sloping and with steps leading down into the valley. Together, these grounds provide a haven for wildlife and a wonderful opportunity for those who enjoy outdoor living. In addition, there are two sizeable garages/outbuildings, both with potential for development (subject to planning permission), along with vehicular access via wooden gates to the rear garden. In front of the house is a private drive with parking for 4/5 cars.
