The Property - Hamilton House is a substantial, historic, period house together with self-contained shop, within the heart of this sought after town and just back from the seafront/town. It is understood to be one of the oldest buildings in Lyme Regis and listed grade 2, of architectural or historic importance, with main walls of solid stone and brick rendered externally under a slate roof. Some 15 years ago it was subject to extensive refurbishment to a very high standard.

The accommodation is very spacious and well presented and has many interesting character features, typical of its period, including sash windows with landmark Georgian bay window, panelled doors, ornate fireplaces and exposed beams. From the upper floors there are lovely views over the town rooftops, taking in the town mill, the church, Monmouth Square and to the sea.

The excellent modern facilities include gas-fired central heating, well equipped kitchen with range cooker, dishwasher and modern bathroom/shower rooms.
