THE PROPERTY.
Gelsmoor is a magnificent contemporary residence which is located in a peaceful country location on the village edge. It sits in an elevated position within level grounds of about ¾ acre and gains spectacular southerly panoramic views to the sea over a typical patchwork countryside with the Cannington Viaduct picturesquely nestling at the foot of the valley, as well as open countryside views to the north.

The house itself was built as a replacement dwelling in 2016 and is a real statement of modern design with its simple, clean lines and exacting finish. It blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings, being principally faced with thin vertical cedar cladding and (Australian) slate, and with large expanses of triple glazing in order to make the most of the setting and views. This bespoke home offers impeccable efficiency and is of SIP construction with air-source hot water and heating (underfloor to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor), 4kw photovoltaic array with hot water boost system, and full ventilation system in both the house and holiday let.

The interior follows the same meticulous design and has been finished with a forensic attention to detail, with all the principal rooms being situated on the south side and having huge windows and doors in order to take in the aspect and give access to the outside spaces. The white walls contrast well with the textured slate and warmth is granted with the use of timber in the oak flooring in the sitting room, and the stunning ash staircase with glass balustrade.

There are several striking features to the interior which include a superb contemporary kitchen with high gloss units and granite tops, stylish 'through' fireplace connecting the dining and sitting room, and the impressive principal bedroom suite which offers and walk-in wardrobe, dressing room, luxury en-suite and enormous wall of glass opening onto the balcony.

DRIFTWOOD.
Gelsmoor benefits from an annexe called Driftwood which is sited in a separate detached building and which incorporates a large double garage and workshop/store, with a three-bedroom apartment to the first floor. This adds a great deal of flexibility and is perfect for large or extended families or derives an excellent income for those seeking a holiday let.

GARDENS, GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS.
The property is approached from the lane over a large parking area adjacent to which is the double garage which has two sets of roller doors. Behind this is a door into the workshop/store and second door giving access to Driftwood. To the west is a hardstanding and a timber stable block comprising two stables and a tack room, and an outside area for the holiday let.

The majority of the garden lies to the rear where there is a large level lawn and spectacular views over the meadow (owned by next door) to the sea and countryside beyond. On the south side of the house is a large terrace which is semi-covered by the first-floor overhang which has downlighters. Within the grounds is a timber BBQ lodge, whilst to the east is a pond and a kitchen garden which is very well laid out and has a greenhouse and summerhouse.

SITUATION.
Gelsmoor is located in a delightful south facing position on the country outskirts of Uplyme and sits on a level plot which extends to about 2/3rds of an acre. The heart of village lies about a mile away on the Devon/Dorset border and has a range of everyday amenities including a shop, primary school, church, public house, garage and post office, as well as a tennis club and cricket pitch.

The popular town of Lyme Regis lies about two miles away and has an extensive range of independent shops, boutiques and eateries, and is famous for its picturesque and historic harbour and Cobb. There are also many recreational and sporting facilities which include a sailing club, bowls, sea fishing and a well-respected golf course.

The busy market town of Axminster lies approximately 2.5 miles to the north-west and also has an excellent variety of shops and a mainline rail link to London Waterloo. There are some excellent schools close at hand which include the Woodroffe School which has recently been judged to be 'outstanding' and Colyton Grammar School, one of the country's top mixed state schools, some 6 miles away.
