The Carriage House is a remarkable Grade II listed holiday home located in the picturesque village of Uplyme, Dorset, nestled within the South West of England. This charming property, which accommodates up to eight guests, is conveniently situated near the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just a short drive from the popular seaside town of Lyme Regis, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. The house, a former carriage house, has been beautifully restored and thoughtfully designed to provide a luxurious and comfortable retreat.
Accessed via a long sweeping drive and electric gates, the property features ample off-road parking and is set within a private woodland setting. The spacious open-plan living area is designed with large floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, allowing natural light to flood the space while offering stunning views of the distant sea and coastline. A woodburning stove adds a cozy ambiance for cooler evenings, while the stylish kitchen and large dining area create an inviting space for family meals. For relaxation, a separate snug area offers a TV and seating, reminiscent of its original carriage house origins.

On the ground floor, a king-size bedroom with garden access and a charming double bedroom with exposed stonework provide comfort and style. The adjoining bathroom features both a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower.
