Forming part of this elegant country house is this well presented two bedroom first floor flat with the benefit of parking, communal gardens and is next to the picturesque river walk into Lyme Regis.

This wing of Waterside was converted to create 7 apartments in 1989. Flat 2 offers spacious and light accommodation with a delightful outlook over the garden and valley.
