Thornton Pearn Rise, Lyme Regis, DT7

This attractive Georgian style home sits gracefully within a small, well regarded development on the edge of Lyme Regis, enjoying a superb position with sweeping views over the Lym Valley toward the sea and the iconic Jurassic Coast. Built in 2010 it forms part of a peaceful residential area comprised almost entirely of detached homes, with the postcode having remained one of the most desirable and higher value pockets of the town. Residents here benefit from a calm, rural fringe setting while remaining comfortably close to excellent schools, local amenities, and the vibrant town centre—all just moments away. The area is characterised by its leafy surroundings, low density housing, and an enviable coastal lifestyle that has seen property values steadily rise over the past decade.

Stepping through the front door, the welcoming entrance hall leads to a cloakroom fitted with a modern white suite offers practicality for family living and visiting guests. There is also a useful understairs storage cupboard.

The lounge stretches across the depth of the home, a beautifully bright and comfortable space with a double aspect and oak flooring which is continued through from the entrance hall. A generous front window frames the garden, while French doors open effortlessly to the rear, leading to the patio and south facing garden. A living flame gas fire with a stone surround becomes the natural focal point, creating an inviting atmosphere for both everyday relaxation and evening gatherings.

Flowing through from the hallway, the recently updated kitchen and dining area presents an elegant balance of style and functionality. Contemporary gloss cabinetry with quartz work surfaces creates a sleek, modern workspace, including a Bertazzoni Range cooker with stainless steel backsplash and hood, American-style fridge freezer, integrated Smeg dishwasher and fridge, instant hot water tap. Natural light pours in from both directions, and bi fold doors open wide to the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. This versatile space is perfectly suited to family meals, social cooking, or summer entertaining. Just beyond, the utility room offers additional convenience with fitted storage, dedicated laundry space, ideal for busy households.

The first floor brings you to the principal bedroom, a serene retreat positioned to capture lovely sea and countryside views. Its en suite is finished with quality fittings, including a large tiled shower and heated towel rail, creating a refined private bathroom. Two further double bedrooms on this level continue the home’s sense of space and comfort—one overlooking the garden, the other sharing similar far reaching valley and coastal views. A family bathroom completes the floor with a modern suite and tasteful finishes.

Ascending once more to the top level, the second floor offers exceptional versatility. Two of the bedrooms enjoy dormer windows framing truly impressive views stretching across the coastline and valley—an inspiring backdrop whether used as bedrooms, creative spaces, or home offices. A further additional room offers flexibility as a sixth bedroom or dedicated study. A contemporary shower room serves this floor, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or multi generational living. A generous linen cupboard adds practicality. 

Outside, the block paved driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a generous double garage with power, lighting, and electrically operated doors—perfect for vehicles, storage, or hobby space. The front garden is neatly presented with a low wall and hedge, welcoming you into the property. A side gate leads to the rear, where the sunny, south facing garden unfolds across a sheltered patio and an elevated lawn bordered by mature planting and fruit trees. This peaceful outdoor space enjoys privacy and all day sun—an idyllic setting for dining, gardening, or simply unwinding.

Lyme Regis itself is a jewel of the Dorset coast, famed for its charming harbour, independent shops, historic architecture, and spectacular cliff top walks, all less than a mile from the property. Nearby schools, including St Michael’s Primary, lie within easy reach, as do bus stops, essential facilities, and access routes toward Axminster and the wider region. The postcode’s rural town and fringe classification reflects the perfect blend of tranquillity and accessibility that residents enjoy.

Altogether, this substantial family home offers generous accommodation across three floors, outstanding coastal and valley views, beautifully updated interiors, and a prime position within one of Lyme Regis’s most sought after residential areas—an exceptional opportunity to enjoy Dorset coastal living at its finest.
