An Elegant Second-Floor Two bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Lyme Regis
Occupying the second floor of a distinguished Grade II listed building, this elegant twobedroom apartment forms part of a beautifully converted period property in the very centre of Lyme Regis. Thought to have origins stretching back many years and restored with great sensitivity, the building retains its historic character while offering refined modern living. A grand communal staircase leads to the apartment, setting the tone for the charm and light-filled accommodation within.
Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the seafront, the apartment enjoys an enviable location in one of Dorset’s most picturesque coastal towns. Lyme Regis, celebrated for its winding historic streets, iconic Cobb Harbour and timeless seaside atmosphere, offers a unique blend of heritage, natural beauty and vibrant local life. The surrounding Jurassic Coast — a designated World Heritage Site — provides a dramatic backdrop, with beaches, coastal paths and leisure pursuits all close at hand.
Once inside, the apartment reveals a wonderfully bright and flexible layout. The welcoming hallway, illuminated by a feature skylight, leads into a generous open-plan living space where a rear-aspect sash window frames captivating views across the rooftops towards the sea, the Cobb and the harbour. Original picture rails and architraves add a sense of period elegance, while the adjoining kitchen area is fitted with soft-close cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a Belfast sink, together with integrated appliances that blend effortlessly into the design.
Both bedrooms are well proportioned, each with sash windows and period detailing that echo the building’s heritage. The principal bedroom is notably spacious, offering ample room for furnishings, while the second double bedroom provides an equally comfortable retreat. A stylish bathroom with a white suite, part-tiled walls and a heated towel rail sits alongside a separate WC, each with obscure-glazed windows that allow natural light while maintaining privacy.
Lyme Regis itself offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle, with sailing and powerboat clubs, a cliff-top golf course, bowling club and a thriving mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Excellent schooling is available locally, including Woodroffe and the renowned Colyton Grammar School. Axminster, with its mainline rail link to London Waterloo, lies approximately five miles away, while Exeter, Taunton and Dorchester are all within easy reach.
