Description
A very impressive spacious and well appointed detached chalet-style residence with stunning views set in secluded gardens in a sought after Bride Valley village. EPC: D
The Property - The Old Lime Kiln is a very attractive individual chalet-style home occupying a secluded, elevated, setting with stunning views across the surrounding countryside to the sea, set in a large secluded plot in a tucked away position within the heart of the village.
The spacious and versatile accommodation has been carefully designed to take full advantage of the glorious south-facing outlook and there is potential for a self-contained annexe, if required. In recent years the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvements and is very well presented throughout.
The lasting first impression is one of light and space from the entrance lobby and inner hall to the relaxing living room with its large glass doors and contemporary wood burner, the two ground floor bedrooms, modern shower room with walk-in shower. The kitchen/family/dining room is a sociable hub with a contemporary modern kitchen with composite laminate worksurfaces, electric Aga with both traditional and induction hobs and Rangemaster cooker hood. Useful boot room, utility with modern fitted units, cloakroom (potential for shower) and office/reception room. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, built-in wardrobes and balconies, which are optimally placed to enjoy the wonderful views.
The current utility, cloakroom and office could easily be adapted to provide self-contained, single storey accommodation for a wide range of uses.
Outside - Outdoor living at The Old Lime Kiln is an immense pleasure, established private gardens amounting to more than 0.6 of an acre surround the property, including a large area of lawn, produce garden, several sun terraces/decks and a secluded pool area with summerhouse and outside shower.
Tucked away within the grounds is the impressive, historic, lime kiln for which the property was named and the plot is consequently designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The property is approached from the road along a long gated driveway leading to parking and turning area for a whole number of vehicles, with access to the double garage with remote up and over door.
