SITUATION
Greenfields is situated in a unique elevated yet sheltered position enjoying truly exceptional views south eastwards down the Lyme Valley and out to sea, with Portland Bill way in the distance as a back drop on a clear day. The property is located in a rural, wooded area just to the north of the small village of Uplyme and the popular and historic coastal town of Lyme Regis, which in turn is set on the World Heritage coastline colloquially known as the Jurassic Coast. The property stands in a quiet location in a steep, mature garden laid out on a number of levels and which extends to just over half an acre. Delightful rural walks emanate virtually from the front doorstep.

Lyme Regis is a coastal town on the Jurassic World Heritage coastline with a good range of amenities, chain stores, eateries and cultural facilities. The town is renowned for its geology and is a major fossil hunting centre. There are many walks along local footpaths and clifftops.
Lyme Regis is located 25 miles west of Dorchester and 25 miles east of Exeter and 27 miles southeast of Taunton. The market town of Axminster offers a good range of additional amenities as well as a mainline train station on the London Waterloo line.

THE PROPERTY
Greenfields is an outstanding 1930’s detached house which we understand is cavity built with part rendered and part faced brick exterior elevations under a tiled roof and has been the subject of a complete and comprehensive renovation over the last fourteen years of ownership, creating the most wonderful home we find today. A commanding location such as Greenfields rarely
becomes available these days and the view is truly breathtaking, making the sale a rare opportunity indeed. The accommodation is laid out on two floors and most of the principal rooms take full advantage of the superb country and coastal views. The oil centrally heated accommodation has an entrance hallway which leads into the superb large reception room which has incredible views across the valley and to the sea. The open-plan room leads into the double aspect sitting room. The beautiful kitchen/breakfast room has newly fitted quality storage with a large central island with granite worktops and a Belfast sink. To the rear is a good-sized utility room and a cloakroom. On the first-floor are the fantastic four double bedrooms, all with delightful views. The large principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE
The gardens extend to approximately 0.58 acre and are profusely stocked with a variety of plants, shrubs and trees laid out on a number of levels. There has been a huge amount of landscaping/ground works in recent years which has in turn has created a good-sized level lawn and a superb flagstone patio which provides a perfect place to enjoy the fabulous views. The grounds fall steeply away southwards from the property and on the southern edge is a fantastic detached one bedroom log cabin which also has incredible views and could be a fantastic Airbnb or additional ancillary accommodation. From St Mary’s Lane a driveway at the front provides parking with an additional second parking area/pull in space.
