A mile from the sea, on the Dorset/Devon border, in the picturesque village of Uplyme, on the Jurassic Coastline, famous for beaches, footpaths and fossil-hunting. Coombehayes Barn boasts a tranquil yet convenient location, just a stroll away from the village green (with playground, tennis court and village shop) and a picturesque 45 minute walk along River Lym to the seafront in Lyme Regis.

The property itself has a seaside theme throughout and is centred around its own private, indoor swimming pool. This can be viewed at all angles from the wrap-around glazed walkway leading to two super-king bedrooms, each with private ensuite shower rooms and super comfortable pocket sprung mattresses. The walkway widens into a bright and sunny games area and includes table football and PS4, as well as wooden railway for the little ones. The small laundry room houses washer/dryer and ironing facilities.

The lounge has far-reaching views over countryside and towards Lyme Regis, with two double French doors leading to a wide patio which stretches the full length of the house. It features a wood-burning stove (with unlimited supply of logs), large TV with Freesat and a range of DVDs.

The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering, with brand new range cooker, large American-style fridge freezer, microwave, slow cooker, dishwasher etc. Table and chairs for 10 people.

The beautiful, far-reaching views can again be seen from the bedrooms upstairs - two twin (with super comfortable pocket sprung mattresses purchased just this year) and a master bedroom with sumptuous king-size four poster bed. The family bathroom has two washbasins, toilet, bath and shower over.

There is a useful, guest cloakroom adjacent to the entrance hall.
