Originally, Lark Rise comprised a detached bungalow built probably in the 1940's. Since purchase about 10 years ago the present owners have completed quality works of refurbishment and extension resulting in an imposing and individual country home with spacious accommodation. The property faces south and enjoys extensive views stretching from the Lym Valley to Lyme Bay and Portland. The elevations are rendered and the roof is tiled.

The property is located in delightful gardens extending to about 2/3 acre, quietly tucked away off a private lane, a countryside setting for a handful of residential properties yet not isolated as village amenities are easily accessible.

The property is situated close to the picturesque and much sought after village of Uplyme with a general store and post office, public house, church and primary school, excellent village hall, local cricket and football clubs etc. There are some lovely walks in the area especially alongside the River Lym which leads down to the picturesque coastal town of Lyme Regis.

Lyme Regis is a town noted for its many character buildings, centuries old Cobb Harbour and unspoilt surrounding countryside. The town centre provides good shopping facilities for day to day needs and there is also a sailing club, bowls, golf course, theatre, cinema, library and numerous local societies. The town is situated on the beautiful and unspoilt Devon and Dorset 'Jurassic Coast' awarded World Heritage Site Status by UNESCO in December 2001.

Axminster with its mainline railway station and 2 established supermarkets is 5 miles away. The two larger centres of Taunton and Exeter are both 28 miles away.
