(Distances and time approximate) Greenhill House Dating from the 1930s, Greenhill House is an elegant family house with a large garden located close to the edge of Lyme Regis. It is situated on a hillside overlooking the town and faces south-east across Lyme Bay with Golden Cap and Portland clearly visible in fine weather. Greenhill House has been in the same family for over 30 years and has been completely refurbished to a high standard. The house is unlisted and is rendered and painted with accommodation on two floors and a suite of rooms in the attics. Today the entire property is immaculately presented and has a feeling of light and space amplified by a pale colour scheme. It has an open porch with ample space for storing firewood and a centrally positioned reception hall with an oak floor and the original 1930s staircase to the first floor. The three principal reception rooms all face south-east and have tall sash or French windows that look out across the garden with the wonderful view as a backdrop. Both the sitting room and dining room have open fireplaces with the former also having a built-in bookcase framing the connecting door to the garden room. The kitchen/breakfast room is lovely and light with windows on three sides including French windows onto the terrace. It is fitted with bespoke painted timber units and a Belling gas/electric range cooker and has a good-sized dining area. The laundry room off the hall leads through to a small, self- contained annexe incorporating a bed/sitting room with kitchenette, disabled wet room and has its own access onto the side terrace. On the first floor are a single bedroom currently used as an office and three, south-east facing double bedrooms all with 5/6 5 3/4 their own en suite bathrooms and sea views. The attic suite of rooms comprises two south-east facing double bedrooms with a bathroom between them, all of which look out over the 0.8 town to the sea. acre 4/5 Garden Greenhill House is approached via a shared tarmac drive to a parking area in front of the house providing space for four cars with a further two tandem spaces along the side of the house. The garden lies to the rear (south-eastern side) of the house extending round to its western side. It is bound by mature shrubs and hedging which provide a good degree of privacy. The entire south-facing side of the house is festooned with pale lilac wisteria, with a paved terrace fringed with narrow beds planted with Spring bulbs, alliums and lavender. The lawn beyond is flat before sloping upwards to the swimming pool and timber pool house which houses the controls. Immediately down-slope from the pool is a magnificent, TPO-protected Copper Beech and adjacent garden store. In the centre of the lawn is a large circular pond with a central fountain and beside it is a paved, willow enclosed seating area. At one end of the terrace with direct access to the kitchen is a good-sized outside dining area with a view of Lyme Bay over a shaped Lonicia Nitanda hedge. In all about 0.8 acre (0.32 hectare).
