Spacious family home with contemporary fittings, sea views and low-maintenance Mediterranean gardens.
Four double bedrooms across three floors, flexible ground-floor studios/studies
A substantial, well-presented four-bedroom detached house in Lyme Regis, Ruskin House blends contemporary fittings with Georgian-style proportions. At about 1,984 sq ft across three floors, the home offers flexible accommodation ideal for family living, with the living rooms arranged on the first floor to take advantage of sea views and garden access.
The property was built in 2011 and is in excellent decorative order; highlights include a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, tasteful joinery, UPVC sash windows and mains gas central heating. The rear gardens have a Mediterranean planting scheme and extensive paved terraces that give low-maintenance outdoor living and good entertaining space. Parking is convenient with a hardstand for two cars and an integral garage with loft storage.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, ultrafast broadband, B EPC rating and no flood risk. The site’s topography provides elevated views towards Lyme Regis and easy first-floor access to the garden. Local amenities, schools and the award-winning beach are within walking distance, making this a convenient coastal family home.
Notable negatives are straightforward: council tax sits at an expensive band (Band F), and the property’s multi-level layout may not suit those wanting single-floor living. Mobile coverage is generally good outdoors though can be limited indoors in places. Recent replacements (gas boiler, washing machine, fridge and freezer in 2025) reduce immediate maintenance needs.
