A rare ground-floor apartment occupying the entire lower level of an attractive Edwardian house with sweeping Lyme Bay views. The south-facing aspect, generous ceiling heights and period details — bay windows, mouldings and panelled walls — give this home character and a bright, airy feel throughout.
Set in about a third of an acre of award-winning, landscaped gardens with a private courtyard, garage and parking, the freehold ownership is a significant advantage. The double-glazed conservatory/sun room takes full advantage of the southerly outlook and is heated for year-round use. Several principal rooms enjoy double aspects and direct garden views.
There is clear upside from the finished, windowed basement: fully tanked, insulated and with plumbing nearby, it offers straightforward scope for conversion to a study, hobby suite or additional living amenities. The property is well maintained but communal upkeep is shared 50/50 with the other apartment and is carried out on an as-needed basis.
Practical considerations: the building’s cavity walls were constructed without insulation (assumed), council tax is quite expensive, and some buyers may wish to carry out energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband is average though mobile signal is excellent. Overall this is a character-rich, low-crime, seaside residence suited to downsizers seeking space, views and long-term potential.
