Selcroft, Woodmead Road, Lyme Regis, DT7 3LJ

An exceptional detached bungalow occupying a wonderful position with views over Lyme Bay and beautiful landscaped gardens. No onward chain.

The Property Selcroft is a much loved family home, offered to the market for the first time in close to 40 years. Rarely does a bungalow of this size become available on the open market in Lyme Regis.

The property is built of traditional construction and enjoys a mainly level plot just off Woodmead Road.

We believe that the dwelling sits on the former tennis courts of Springfield Cottage and was built sometime during the 1960’s.

The current En-suite was added at a later date to the already spacious accommodation.

Despite being well very maintained the property is in need of some general updating and could offer potential buyers with a great opportunity to create a unique ‘grand design’ in this much favoured residential street.

Accommodation Selcroft follows a traditional arrangement where a central hallway with parquet flooring provides access to most rooms.

The sleeping accommodation sits to the northern elevation where you will find four good size bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom with separate WC.

To the left of the entrance is a lovely open plan living area which incorporates the main sitting room and opens up into the kitchen with a wide variety of wood effect units, space for appliances and space for a dining table.

The double glazed garden room provides an additional reception space with delightful views over the gardens.

Outside The gardens and grounds of Selcroft is one of the main selling points to this property.

A gated entrance from Woodmead Road leads to a generous parking and turning area as well as the detached garage and low stone walling to the northern boundary.

Pathways lead around the bungalow where the gardens open up to a level lawned garden and large paved seating area.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are well stocked with a wide variety of mature shrubs, specimen trees, apple and plum trees and perennials.

They are an absolute joy over spring and summer with an endless supply of colour and interest. Beyond the formal lawn there is a greenhouse (currently unglazed) and space for a small vegetable garden.

From the patio steps lead up to a second tier of garden where you can make the very most of the view. Outside water and lighting.
