Property description

A spacious two bedroomed garden apartment with a private courtyard, studio and parking situated a short walk to town, Cobb Harbour and beaches.

Gatesfield House is located on the West side of the picturesque Dorset coastal town of Lyme Regis. Set back off Sidmouth Road it stands in an elevated, quiet and private position enjoying glorious coastal views from the communal gardens. This elegant period Grade II listed house was built in circa 1850 and converted in the 1980’s to 7 fine individual apartments.

No. 1 Gatesfield House, a spacious garden apartment, has been well maintained and sympathetically updated by the present owners and will be found in lovely condition throughout. With its own entrance through its private enclosed courtyard the accommodation comprises: The front entrance door opens to the hallway with useful recessed storage. An inner hall leads to the spacious living room with sliding doors opening to the courtyard. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern cream shaker style units with base cupboards and drawers, matching wall cupboards, shelving and laminate work surfaces with a inset stainless steel sink and colorful blue tiled surrounds. There is an integral fridge/freezer and a stylish stainless steel range cooker with an extractor hood above. There are two double bedrooms, the first looking onto the courtyard the other with a bay window, arched recess and built-in cupboard. Off the hallway is a modern shower room with part wood paneled walls, a large shower and white suite with a WC and wash basin. From the courtyard there is a useful store room and an adjacent room ideally suited as a separate studio, home office or gym. Above this accessed from the entrance steps and door is a potential roof terrace (subject to consent being obtained) with great views over the communal garden and to the sea.
