Long Mead is a handsome mid-20th-century detached home set in about 0.65 acre of beautifully established gardens, just under a mile from Lyme Regis’s beaches and the Jurassic Coast. Principal reception rooms and several bedrooms take advantage of elevated sea and coastal views; a sun terrace, conservatory and patio provide direct outdoor living and easy enjoyment of the outlook. The plot’s mature shrubs, specimen trees, kitchen garden and pond create privacy and a very attractive setting for low‑maintenance outdoor living or further landscaping.
Internally the house offers generous, well-proportioned accommodation across two floors — spacious entrance hall, multiple reception rooms, conservatory, breakfast/utility spaces and four bedrooms plus a separate ‘viewing’ room. Character features remain, including parquet flooring, coving and high ceilings, which pair well with the property’s large footprint and flexible room layout. The single attached garage and private driveway provide parking and secure storage.
Practical considerations to note: the house was built in the 1950s and, while structurally traditional and attractive, it will benefit from modernisation in parts to fully unlock its potential. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the Energy Performance Certificate is rated D. Broadband speeds at the location have been reported as slow, and council tax sits in Band G, which is relatively expensive.
Long Mead will particularly appeal to buyers seeking an attractive retirement or second‑home location with substantial outdoor space, sea views and easy access to Lyme Regis amenities and coastal walks. It is equally suited to buyers who are willing to invest in selective updating to personalise the home and increase long‑term value.
