SELLERS INSIGHT What first captivated us was the sense of tranquillity. From the moment you enter the property, the sea becomes a constant, calming presence.

Whether we were hosting family gatherings on the terrace or enjoying a quiet morning coffee looking out over the water, the house always felt connected to its surroundings.

One of the greatest advantages of living here has been the balance it offers between accessibility and peacefulness. The connection to the wider world is excellent – transport links are straightforward, making it easy to get around for work or travel – yet returning home always feels like arriving at a private haven. It has allowed us to maintain busy lives while having a sanctuary that encourages us to slow down and recharge.

The local area has also been a joy. Wellswood is close by, offering a charming collection of bars, cafés, and independent shops, giving the neighbourhood a vibrant, village-like feel. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the landscape is endlessly rewarding. The scenery is always changing with the light and seasons, offering a new perspective every day. There is a wonderful selection of beaches and coves to explore; Ansteys Cove is less than a mile away, and there are countless coastal paths and secluded spots to discover on foot. The South West Coast Path is literally on the doorstep, providing some of the most beautiful walking routes imaginable.

The views have remained one of the greatest pleasures of living at Reflections.

Looking out across Lyme Bay is extraordinary, especially when contrasted with the rolling green hills that frame the coastline. It is a rare combination of sea, sky, and countryside that continues to impress, no matter how long you live here.

Reflections has given us a lifestyle defined by calm, beauty, and connection – both to nature and to the conveniences around us. It has been a privilege to call this place home.”*

A further double bedroom enjoys two large windows overlooking the Bay, filling the room with natural light and framing the coastal views. An additional double bedroom has views over the Bay and an en-suite with a corner shower. Beyond this lies a flexible arrangement consisting of two more double bedrooms connected by a shared reception area. Both bedrooms open through French doors onto a shared terrace, inviting the outdoors into the space. The principal room has an en-suite bathroom which is striking, equipped with a freestanding bath, separate shower, and contemporary grey tiling. A generous walk-in dressing room completes this suite, offering both luxury and practicality. The final double bedroom completes the accommodation, distinguished by a large window capturing wide-reaching views alongside the French doors previously mentioned, ensuring the theme of light, space, and coastal connection resonates throughout the entire home.

STEP OUTSIDE The exterior setting has been conceived to complement the property’s modern coastal aesthetic.

Generous terraces flow seamlessly from the principal living spaces, creating natural vantage points from which to enjoy the sweep of the bay. Morning sun, dramatic sunsets, and the soft rhythm of the shoreline all form part of the daily backdrop.

In addition to the two terraces, landscaped gardens frame the architecture with simplicity and elegance, offering various pockets of privacy and calm. The side patio accessed from the half landing has a covered built in BBQ and bar plus a sunken hot tub and leads to a tiered lawn. The walled garden accessed from the lower ground floor hallway has been designed as a peaceful, low maintenance Oasis with artificial lawn distinguished by a raised bed and an attractive feature tree. A door leads into the external utility room. To the bottom of the garden is a Summerhouse, which could be used as a home office or gym.

A private driveway and garaging, ensures both convenience and discretion. Every aspect of the grounds has been curated to enhance the home’s relationship with its remarkable maritime setting.
