A well-presented chalet bungalow set in south-facing grounds with wonderful sea views over Lyme Bay
Set well back off a peaceful lane Robins has a truly magical, south-facing setting that looks out across a gently sloping hillside with fantastic views of the sea and the dramatic cliffs lining Lyme Bay.The property is a chalet bungalow that is built in such a way that the south-facing rear is slightly elevated to optimise the view. It has rendered and white-painted walls, a concrete tiled roof and modern UPVC integrally double glazed windows. The upper floor is incorporated within the roof space with multiple double glazed, south-facing roof lights. The interior layout combines with generously sized windows to allow natural light to flood the interior giving a wonderfully light and airy feel. It also enables the sea views to be seen from the living room, three of the property's four bedrooms plus from the study/fifth bedroom. The ground floor has a centrally positioned and elegant entrance hall overlooked by a galleried landing, with the downstairs bedroom accommodation and shower room grouped on one side of the hall and the living room and kitchen/breakfast room on the other. The living room is L-shaped and generously sized with separate seating and dining areas and has windows on two sides including a wide picture window and a glazed door that opens to the balustraded terrace, which overlooks the rear garden and sweeping coastal view beyond. It also has an open fireplace with an attractive timber fire surround along with timber flooring that also extends throughout most of the ground floor. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room is also L-shaped with an integral dining area and looks out onto the front part of the garden and parking area. It has a tiled floor and is fully fitted with a gas-fired Rayburn Nouvelle with the boilerfunction isolated and cut off. Within the roof space are two further double bedrooms with lovely sea views, plus the family bathroom between them.GardenRobins is shielded from neighbouring properties to the north of Beer Road and any traffic passing along it by a tall close-boarded boundary fence and a line of mature trees. It is approached off the lane via a driveway entrance and gravelled drive, which leads to a long parking area in front of the bungalow along with a single, attached garage. The garden surrounds the property with the majority extending out from the rear and consists of a gently sloping lawn with mature hedging on three sides. A handful of neighbouring properties are located to the east and south of the bungalow but crucially those closest are sited below Robins and therefore have no impact on privacy or the view. There are two parcels of land situated immediately adjacent to the southern and western boundaries. These do not form part of the freehold of the property but it is noteworthy that both have restrictive covenants on them preventing any development, thereby securing the current environment around the property for the future.
