Broad Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7

A unique three bedroom spacious maisonette with an abundance of character situated in the heart of Lyme Regis town centre.

With origins believed to date back to the 17th Century, 47 Broad Street forms part of what was once The Great House, originally built for a wealthy merchant of the town. Today, this substantial and beautifully refurbished maisonette occupies the upper two floors of the building and offers an abundance of character, charm and space, all just moments from the seafront and benefits from new sash windows that the current owners have installed.

Positioned in the very centre of Lyme Regis approximately 200 metres from the beach. The property enjoys attractive views across the town and Charmouth to the sea from the rear, and down Broad Street toward the coastline from the front. The building retains a wealth of period features including exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, sash windows and stonework, all complemented by recent redecoration and modern improvements.

Accessed directly from its own entrance on Broad Street, a panelled private entrance door opens into a useful entrance hall, ideal for coats, shoes and everyday storage. From here, stairs rise to the upper floor of the maisonette.

A generous landing provides access to all rooms on the first floor. There are several practical storage cupboards, including one housing the hot water cylinder and another for utilities, and a corridor leading to the staircase to the upper floor.

The first floor includes three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a bright and welcoming room with two sash windows overlooking Broad Street and a fullwidth window seat. It benefits from its own ensuite shower room, fitted with a tiled shower, WC and hand basin. The second bedroom also overlooks Broad Street and features a sash window with window seat, while the third bedroom is similarly well proportioned with a sash window and pleasant outlook. A family bathroom on this level includes a panelled bath and shower with tiled surround, hand basin and WC.

A half landing with a window looking toward the cliffs leads up to the impressive main living spaces.

The living room is a striking and atmospheric room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed roof trusses and timbers, areas of exposed stonework and decorative panelling. A large dormer window frames views across the town to the sea, while a side window with window seat offers a charming outlook down Broad Street toward the water. The room is filled with natural light from multiple angles, creating a warm and inviting space.

Adjoining the living room is the kitchen and dining room, another characterful space with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers. The room is naturally bright thanks to four rooflights and features fitted kitchen units, composite marble work surfaces, a Neff oven and Siemens induction hob, integrated dishwasher and white ceramic sink, along with built in storage cupboards.
