An attractive and well positioned three storey period property Grade II Listed enjoying a prominent position close to the town centre and seafront. Lyme Regis is a picturesque coastal 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 the larger centres of Taunton and Exeter are both about 28 miles away. There is a main line railway station at Axminster 6 miles inland . In Lyme Regis there is also a sailing club, bowls, golf course, theatre 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.

The Maisonette A characterful maisonette, arranged over 2 3 floors and positioned within easy reach of the town centre, its amenities and seafront. The property has been, until recently, used as a long term let, and whilst of very good proportions, it does now require some updating and refurbishment internally, the Vendors having owned the same for almost 25 years.
