About
Substantial detached three bedroom house close to the beach, with sea views and a wealth of accommodation. The Property - Saxon Lodge is all about both its position and accommodation.
The property sits just five minutes walk from the famous fossil beach at Charmouth, with an elevated position that affords it lovely views out onto Lyme Bay itself.
While the property was clearly built to a high specification in the 1980s, it is now in need of some updating, but the cost of any refurbishment will be more than reflected in the result primarily because of its position.
Accommodation - The ground floor sitting room sits to the front of the property with a bay window taking in the views to one side, the focal point of a fireplace to the centre and an archway through to a formal dining room to the other side.
The formal dining room overlooks the gardens to the rear with a doorway through to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen/breakfast room can be divided into two, with a fully fitted kitchen to one end and a dining area to the other with a useful back hallway to one side.
On the other side of the hallway there is the principal bedroom that takes in the views, with a large built-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom.
Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and the other bedroom having use of the family bathroom.
Downstairs on the lower ground level there is an integral garage equipped with an electric remotely operated door, behind which there is a workshop.
The property has gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing.
Outside - To the front of the property, a driveway laid to tarmac leads up to the front of the property where there is plenty of parking for a number of cars and access to the right hand side to the integral garage.
Steps lead up to a raised terrace laid to paving and lawn that provides an excellent outside entertaining area during the summer months looking out over the bay.
Immediately to the rear of the property there are two further areas of paved terrace, while on the right hand side of the property there is a less formal area of lawn punctuated by a number of mature ornamental trees.
Situation - The property close to the beach in the charming seaside village of Charmouth, which has a number of good shops, public houses and restaurants to its centre and lies midway between the former rope-making town of Bridport to the east and the Devon carpet making town of Axminster to the west.
The A35 provides the major road link while there are mainline stations at Dorchester and Axminster.
Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area while the world Heritage site Jurassic coastline stretches all the way along Lyme Bay with Charmouth itself being well known for its fossil finds.
