Summary - SUMMERHILL HOUSE 20 CHARMOUTH ROAD LYME REGIS DT7 3DW
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Top-floor retirement flat near beach and town amenities.
Top-floor apartment with partial sea and town views
Set on the top floor of a well-maintained, period‑style block, this two-bedroom apartment offers panoramic town and partial sea views with easy, walkable access to the beach and Lyme Regis amenities. The layout includes a wide living/dining room with dual aspect, a separate fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (principal with ensuite) and a separate shower room. A lift serves all floors for step-free access and the apartment comes with a private garage plus visitor parking.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (999 years from 1990), mains gas central heating, double glazing and ultrafast broadband — useful for retirees and downsizers wanting convenience and connectivity. The building has communal gardens and secure entry, and the sale is chain-free, allowing a straightforward move.
Notable costs and constraints are material: service charges are circa £3,840 per year and the lease prohibits sub-letting (private residential use only), which may affect buy-to-let investors. There is no private garden attached, only a small communal outdoor area. The building appears well maintained externally and internally, but buyers should note the service charge level and the residential-use restriction before proceeding.
Overall this is a comfortable, low‑maintenance coastal home suited to someone seeking easy access to Lyme Regis’ shops, harbour and beach, with the reassurance of lift access, parking and a long lease. It will particularly suit downsizers or retirees who prioritise location, views and convenience over private outdoor space.
