Description
A substantial attached house situated in the popular East Devon village of Uplyme, a mile from the glorious Jurassic coast and the bustling town of Lyme Regis. Formerly the village shop and post office The Old Stores is now a spacious and flexible home.
The accommodation is currently divided into two apartments though the joining staircase remains in place should one wish to use the property as one residence. The ground floor facing to the front with its own entrance and patio is currently a successful self-contained holiday let that creates a rental yield of £20,000 PA. Though it would be equally suited to longer term letting or as an annex.
The ground floor has been recently modernised and comprises two double bedrooms with one benefitting from doors onto the courtyard, a large living/dining room with windows on the front elevation of the property and a newly fitted kitchen with white units and laminate worktops.
The first floor has been extended to create a modern open plan living space with lounge, dining and newly fitted kitchen areas with full length patio doors opening to a lovely sunny terrace and garden. An entrance hall acts as a useful utility area housing washing machine and dryer. An inner hall with useful storage cupboards leads to a family bathroom and three double bedrooms one benefitting from an ensuite shower room. All the rooms of this floor at the front elevation have superb countryside views across the Lym valley.
Outside
Adjacent to the house a driveway provides parking for five cars an EV car charger has also been fitted under the current ownership. The generous south facing gardens with wonderful views across the valley are a particular feature of the property. There is an extensive paved patio with raised beds, borders and arbor and store shed. A pathway and steps lead to the gently sloping lawn and upper terrace with an additional store shed.
