A light, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Charmouth House, Portland Court, positioned a short walk from Lyme Regis town centre and beaches. The layout is compact and practical, with a lounge that opens to the grounds and both bedrooms enjoying sea glimpses. The building dates from the early 1970s but has been maintained; the bathroom was recently renewed and the property benefits from double glazing and a combi boiler.
This flat suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home or a coastal second property. Communal gardens, an enclosed drying area and a private garage (12ft x 22ft) add useful outdoor space and storage that many apartments lack. The long lease (999 years from 1983) and share-of-freehold arrangement provide secure tenure and collective control of the freehold.
Practical points to note: there is an annual service charge (£1,440 as of 2024), rules prohibit holiday letting and pets, and the accommodation is compact at about 597 sq ft. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the area is very affluent, but local crime levels are average. Overall the apartment offers easy coastal living with reasonable running costs and excellent letting potential for long-term rentals rather than holiday lets.
