Description

An attractive two bedroom ground floor apartment, one of just 6 in a sympathetic conversion of this beautiful Regency House. Situated above the town, just off the Sidmouth Road with parking, a large private roof terrace and communal gardens. The accommodation boasts high ceilings and sash windows giving a lovely feeling of space and light. There is a good sized entrance hall with storage, two bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom, fitted kitchen/dining room and large bright living room. From here a door leads onto a large roof terrace providing beautiful sea and coastal views. The property is very well presented and includes two parking spaces, which is most unusual for Lyme Regis. The building is Listed Grade II and has lovely communal gardens wrapping around the property. The management of the building is well organised with all leaseholders sharing the freehold and a long lease in place. Windows are single glazed period sash windows (as you would expect for a listed building) with internal secondary glazing and the property is well maintained.

The seaside resort of Lyme Regis, famed for its historic connections and the Cobb Harbour remains popular with visitors. The town retains much of its original charm and a good variety of shops restaurants and places of interest to visit. There are many events throughout the year including a good range of live music and for those who would rather be on the sea, there are sailing and gig rowing clubs. This expanse of coast line has been designated a World Heritage Site and is affectionately known as the Jurassic Coast. Bus services run regularly between the local towns of Bridport and Axminster, where the station runs a mainline service to London Waterloo and Exeter. The property is very well placed for proximity to the highly regarded Woodroffe Secondary School, which has been described by Ofsted as `outstanding`, with many house hunters seeking an address within the catchment area. Alternatively, the Colyton Grammar School, which is constantly ranked as one of the best in the country is approximately 8 miles to the west.
