About
A substantial detached three bedroom house situated on the western side of Lyme Regis, enjoying a peaceful culdesac position with a sunny south facing garden and attractive views toward the sea.
Border Lodge is an individual detached home built in 1994 and located in a desirable residential culdesac on the western side of the town.
The property has been well maintained by the current owners, with one of its standout features being the impressive fulllength uPVC doubleglazed conservatory, added prior to 2012.
Extending to approximately 27 ft and finished with a tiled floor, it spans the entire rear elevation and makes the most of the garden and coastal outlook.
The kitchen, ensuite and family shower room have all been recently refitted, providing modern comfort within a wellproportioned home.
The house is within easy reach of the town centre, seafront and beaches, with Lyme Regis offering a wide range of amenities, historic charm and leisure opportunities including sailing, power boating and a clifftop golf course.
The surrounding coastline forms part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. An entrance hall provides access to a downstairs cloakroom, the main living areas and stairs rising to the first floor.
The kitchen/dining room is a sizeable space fitted with a range of white shakerstyle units, woodblock effect worktops, ceramic hob, double oven and integrated dishwasher, with double doors opening into the conservatory.
A separate utility room provides additional practical space.
The study is a particularly useful room, enhanced by extensive builtin bookcases, a fitted desk and generous cupboard storage, making it ideal for home working or hobbies.
The large conservatory offers a superb additional living area with doors opening to the garden and decking.
Together with the lounge and kitchen/dining room, the layout creates an excellent freeflowing space for entertaining.
The lounge is a comfortable dualaspect room with a bay window to the front, a gas fire with marble surround and double doors leading into the conservatory.
Stairs rise to the firstfloor landing where there is access to the loft and all three double bedrooms.
