Where are we: Located on the A35 between Honiton and Dorchester. From Axminster centre travel east for about 2 miles. Once on the A35 and on reaching Raymonds Hill go past the post office on your left and Lulworth House is the sixth property on the left, set back from the road.

Local Area and Amenities : Lulworth House is located on the edge of Raymonds Hill which is approximately 3 miles from the coastal town of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast which has been given international recognition as a World Heritage Site, being noted for its geological interest, dramatic cliffs and fossil and plant rich shore line. Deservedly, it is also A Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Lyme Regis is famous for its harbour and ancient cob and the picturesque town centre includes a growing artistic community. There is a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities including sailing, diving, fishing and golf. Lyme Regis is well served by a modern medical centre and is within easy reach of excellent secondary schools at Colyton and Lyme Regis. To the east is the market town of Axminster, which has a wider range of facilities, along with a railway station on the London Waterloo line. The A35 provides good links to the county towns of Dorchester, some 25 miles to the east and Exeter some 28 miles to the west. 30 miles to the north is the county town of Taunton with a railway station on the London Paddington line and access to the M5 motorway. There are International Airports at Exeter and Bristol.

Summary: Lulworth House was built in 1999 to a high specification of mainly specialist brick under a tiled roof. The property was designed specifically for Bed and Breakfast with separate owner accommodation or would be equally flexible as a gracious family home with an annexe or office suite on the ground floor.

The property consists of four en-suite bedrooms on the first floor with scope to extend into the loft space, which is presently used for storage, which is already served by a large south facing dormer window. On the ground floor are two large reception rooms and a delightful kitchen/living room all linked and enjoying access and views to the garden. In addition there is a utility room, garage, office/bedroom 5, bathroom and wc, which has separate outside access and could be used as an annexe or office where there is Broadband connected.

The property benefits from stained timber double glazing throughout including the outbuilding and oil fired central heating is provided with a good distribution of radiators and there are telephone and T.V. points in most rooms.

Lulworth House is traditional in construction with a spacious contemporary feel, set in its own grounds in a much sought after, close to coast location in favoured East Devon.
