Positioned within the wellregarded Summerhill House development on the eastern side of Lyme Regis, this beautifully proportioned firstfloor apartment offers an appealing combination of space, light and coastal outlook. Just a short walk from the town centre and beaches, the property enjoys a peaceful setting within a purposebuilt block known for its wellkept communal areas, landscaped gardens and excellent management.
