The house has four bedrooms, including a large principal suite with adjoining bath & shower room, walk in wardrobe, and doors opening out to a terrace, a perfect place for a morning cup of coffee. There is also a family shower room.
The beautifully nurtured and landscaped gardens wrap perfectly around the house including a large level lawn, with many places to sit and take in this breathtaking setting. There is a double garage (with WC and electricity) with huge potential to further develop subject to planning.

LOCATION
Heron Ridge is in a superb position backing onto the Lyme Regis Golf Course, and with 'The Spittles,' a beautiful bluebell woodland a short stroll away, once forming part of the South West Coast Path.
Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the Cobb, (made famous by Jane Austin and John Fowle's French Lieutenants Woman) and the harbour. These along with the stunning surrounding countryside and coastline all justify Lyme Regis's worldwide reputation. Lyme Regis and the Bay are situated at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a major centre for fossil collecting. The town has an excellent selection of facilities, including many independent shops as well as the familiar high street brands. There are two supermarkets, a number of restaurants, and the boutique Alexander Hotel, as well as its own Theatre.
The nearby town of Axminster just five miles away has a large supermarket and a variety of independent shops and cafes, and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
The larger city of Exeter lies some 30 miles away, with an international airport and large range of facilities and high street shopping, including a large John Lewis.
