THE PROPERTY
Uppermill is a highly unique, very spacious and well-appointed home, occupying a delightful tucked away and peaceful setting built into the hillside adjoining the River Lim which is some 15ft lower. The property is located within the old part of the town just a 5-minute walk from the high street and beaches. The current mill building was constructed in the early 1840 s on the site of an older mill. In the 1970s it was converted into two individual residential properties Uppermill being the larger one occupying the upper-ground floor and first floor of the building.
Uppermill is hard to categorize as it is very much a one-off. Although technically it is a duplex apartment (the neighbouring property is on the lower-ground floor), it very much feels like a house, being on the ground and first floor and having its own self-contained entrance. Prior to the current ownership in 2010, the property was subject to extensive upgrading to a very high quality. In 2019 the former attic storey was skilfully converted into additional multi-purpose living space retaining the beautiful wooden truss beams and gable-end stone walls.
The accommodation is well proportioned, bright and extensive, facing principally south and enjoying a very sunny aspect with delightful views over the town rooftops, an intriguing historic stone tower and also down over the River Lim. Although Uppermill is currently used as one large house, the first floor has both external and internal staircases and could, therefore, be altered as a self-contained annexe, ideal for dependent relative or letting etc., (subject to any necessary planning consent). Well-appointed throughout, the many excellent features include gas-fired central heating, double and triple Upvc glazing, feature contemporary gas fireplace, quality Poggenpohl kitchen with Corian worktops and comprehensive quality appliances Dacor gas/electric hobs, two large electric self-cleaning ovens and integrated Miele dishwasher, attractive bathroom/shower room fittings, built-in wardrobes and dressing table, ceramic tile flooring and fitted carpets.
The well-maintained and presented accommodation also offers character features including exposed beams, hemlock floorboards upstairs, colour-washed brick and stone, plus high ceilings.
The accommodation extends to:
Ground floor - Living/dining room with Juliet balcony and solid American white oak stairs to upper floor, kitchen/breakfast room, inner hall, principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom plus mains shower, second double bedroom, shower room with Jack and Jill doors.
First floor - Very large double-aspect living room with feature balcony-style Velux, stable outside door and external stairs, open plan to large third bedroom (could be sub-divided) with study area, shower room and utility.
OUTSIDE
Uppermill has the immense benefit of a large single garage with parking for one car to the front (extremely rare in Lyme Regis Old Town). The lovely gardens are a further feature, being attractively landscaped, well laid out and stocked.
The property has three garden areas. The main terrace above the waterfall is paved with a raised planter border, timber decking and steps down to a lower garden adjoining the River Lim featuring a riverside stone bench ideal for waterfowl birdwatching. The second, mill-side garden has terraced fruit and flower beds along with a raised vegetable bed. Adjoining the main front door and external stairs is a further paved courtyard area.
SITUATION
Uppermill occupies a charming setting with outlooks over the river and town. Mill Green is a short no-through road, so there is little passing traffic. There are delightful walks close by alongside the River Lim. Lyme Regis is a highly sought after picturesque coastal town, famous for its historic Cobb, harbour, spectacular coastal views and glorious beaches. The town is located on the stunning Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Lyme Regis is a thriving community with excellent shopping, business and leisure facilities and cultural experiences to suit all tastes. At nearby Axminster there is a mainline rail service to London and the thriving market town of Bridport is also easily accessible.
