Description
A very successful guest house occupying a prime position in the centre of the highly sought after historic coastal resort of Lyme Regis. EPC: Exempt - Grade II Listed
The Property - Lyme Townhouse is a fine and substantial attached Georgian town house, understood to date back to the early 19th century and Grade II Listed, of architectural or historic importance. The house contains a number of original features, typical of its age and type, including high ceilings, sash windows, bay windows, ornate cornices, ornate fireplaces and picture rails. Under the current ownership since 2013, the property has been subject to extensive and sympathetic refurbishment, all to a very high standard.
The house is very well appointed throughout with a whole number of stylish features.
The property also features a south-facing courtyard and off-road parking (a rarity and highly prized in the town centre).
THE BUSINESS
It has been long established as a guest house/bed and breakfast business for over 20 years. It is open all year and enjoys a very high occupancy rate.
The guest house is very popular for both weekend and mid-week breaks. There is an online booking system and also available through booking.com (rated a very high 9).
The business achieves a very good revenue with excellent potential to increase further.
The property is being sold as a going concern, including the comprehensive quality contents and with the benefit of excellent ongoing future bookings and repeat business.
Lyme Townhouse represents an excellent and rare home and income or investment opportunity.
Outside - A driveway leads around to the side of the neighbouring property and the rear of Lyme Townhouse. There are two private parking spaces.
Small courtyard garden, which is south-facing and enjoys sea glimpses. Summerhouse.
Situation - Lyme Townhouse occupies a high profile trading position in the heart of the town centre and within easy reach of the seafront and promenade. Langmoor Gardens is very nearby, providing a very pleasant shortcut down to the beaches, the harbour and the Cobb. Lyme Regis is a picturesque and historic coastal town, famous for the Cobb and harbour. The town retains numerous historic buildings and offers excellent shopping, business and leisure facilities. It is situated on the renowned World Heritage coast, known as the Jurassic Coast and the immediate locality is designated as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Lyme Regis has a thriving community with theatre plus sailing and boating activities. At nearby Axminster there is a mainline rail service to London. The historic market town of Bridport is only about 20 minutes’ drive.
