Flat 4 The Gables, Church Street, Lyme Regis

A TASTEFULLY APPOINTED FIRST FLOOR FLAT IN AN IMPOSING VICTORIAN PROPERTY
CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE AND SEAFRONT

Flat 4 The Gables was comprehensively modernised about 5-6 years ago with great care taken to retain character features.

It has been a successful holiday let for the present owner providing a useful income but is equally well suited as a permanent home.

The property is very conveniently situated in the picturesque Old Town just 200 metres or so walk to the town centre shops and seafront.

The Gables is an imposing Victorian property which was in fact the cottage hospital between 1820 and 1927. It has now been converted into self-contained flats.

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.
