Woodhouse Hill, Uplyme, Lyme Regis

3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow for sale in Lyme Regis

1 3 1

Tucked away off a quiet and easily accessible lane, adjoining a bridleway leading into Trinity Hill, the property combines a peaceful rural setting with excellent accessibility, a generous garden and exciting potential for future development, subject to the necessary consents.
The property also offers impressive environmental credentials, with an EPC rating of B, air source heat pump and solar panels. The plot has two vehicular access points and benefits from a recently installed sewage treatment plant with capacity for two dwellings, further enhancing its potential.
The setting is particularly appealing. The large, level plot is surrounded by mature trees, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, while on a clear day there are glimpses of the sea. The garden attracts an abundance of wildlife, including deer, rabbits and woodpeckers, and the absence of significant road noise and light pollution makes this an exceptional spot for enjoying the night sky.

For those who enjoy walking, the surrounding woodland and bridleways provide excellent access to the countryside, with Lyme Regis approximately three miles away via woodland paths. River Cottage HQ can also be reached on foot through Trinity Hill in under a mile, making this an enviable location for both outdoor enthusiasts and food lovers.

THE PROERTY
The bungalow has been comprehensively renovated and is presented in excellent order, with improvements including a new kitchen and bathroom, together with new carpets and hard flooring throughout.
From the parking area, the property is entered into a small hallway which opens directly into the new kitchen. The bedrooms are situated on the opposite side of the hall, while the kitchen leads through to a useful breakfast room at the rear.
The breakfast room provides access to a study on one side and the living/dining room on the other. The latter is a particularly attractive and spacious triple-aspect room, with two bow windows overlooking the garden and a wood-burning stove set on a stone hearth, creating a warm and welcoming focal point.
There are three bedrooms in total, comprising two good-sized doubles and a single bedroom. The newly fitted family bathroom has a high-pressure shower, complemented by a separate WC.

OUTSIDE
The bungalow sits within a remarkably generous and predominantly level plot, with the garden wrapping around three sides of the property. Mature trees and established planting provide a high degree of privacy, while the open areas offer considerable scope for gardening, recreation or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
On the fourth side of the property is a parking and turning area, together with a garage having power and an up-and-over door. There is also a useful wood store and a lean-to with a reinforced concrete base.
The two separate vehicular access points, generous plot and sewage treatment plant with capacity for two dwellings suggest exciting potential for further development, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning and other necessary consents.

This is a highly unusual opportunity: a comprehensively renovated and energy-efficient bungalow in a wonderfully private rural setting, offering a combination of ready-to-enjoy accommodation, an exceptional plot and genuine scope for the future.

LOCATION
Uplyme lies just 1.5 miles to the north west of Lyme Regis. The village has a great deal to offer including a local pub, busy village hall, petrol station, with shop and post office, playing field, tennis court, cricket and football clubs and two local schools of excellent repute; namely Mrs Ethelston`s Primary and the Woodroffe Secondary school.

The seaside resort of Lyme Regis, famed for its historic connections and the Cobb Harbour remains popular with visitors. The town retains much of its original charm and a good variety of shops restaurants and places of interest to visit. There are many events throughout the year including a good range of live music and for those who would rather be on the sea, there are sailing and gig rowing clubs. This expanse of coast line has been designated a World Heritage Site and is affectionately known as the Jurassic coast. Bus services run regularly between the local towns of Bridport and Axminster, where the station runs a mainline service to London Waterloo and Exeter. The property is very well placed for proximity to the highly regarded Woodroffe Secondary School, which has been described by Ofsted as `outstanding`, with many house hunters seeking an address within the catchment area. Alternatively, the Colyton Grammar School, which is constantly ranked as one of the best in the country is approximately 8 miles to the west.
