Ware Lane, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7

THE PROPERTY. Orchard End dates back to the 1920s and was formerly a modest cottage before being significantly enlarged and remodelled in the early part of the 21st century. This resulted in the particularly stylish home we find today which has some superb features such as the gabled dormers and deep roof overhang which forms a superb covered seating area on the western elevation. The property is of traditional construction with principally rendered walls under a tiled roof and it has a delight southeasterly orientation with superb views over the gardens to the adjoining countryside and with several of the rooms having glimpses of the sea and coastline in the distance. The accommodation is beautifully light and flows particularly well with the impressive entrance hallway sitting at the heart of the house giving access to the reception rooms. This has an oak floor and a galleried staircase with an understairs cupboard. The L-shaped sitting room is certainly worthy of note and this has been divided into two seating areas with a snug with built in shelving and the living space with an attractive fireplace with wood burner and French doors which open onto the covered pergola. The dining room also has two sets of French doors and opens into the kitchen which has been well fitted and features an oil-fired Rayburn, electric oven and a gas hob. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the principal of which is a stunning triple aspect room which has glorious views through the gable windows and an en-suite shower room. The third bedroom is currently used as a study, however, there is plenty of scope to have office space in the garden where there is both a detached studio and home office. GARDENS & GROUNDS. The property is approached from Ware Lane through double timber gates which lead to a brick driveway which provides parking for several vehicles. Adjacent to this is a detached garage building with open carport and workshop with two sets of double doors. The gardens surround the property and are bordered by mature hedging making the house particularly private and there are many different seating areas to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day. To the side is a paved terrace which is covered by the impressive angular overhang in the roof and this opens onto the large rear patio with its pergola. The gardens are in the main lawned and there is a productive kitchen garden area with raised beds, green house and small orchard. Besides this are a range of useful outbuildings which include various stores and an open log store. Steps then rise to a decked seating area and the superb detached insulated home office which has a soft fruit cage alongside. Another notable feature at Orchard End is the detached studio which is a great multipurpose room (previously being used as an art studio) which is semi vaulted and has a log burner and a covered seating area.
