Character cottage with rare private parking, minutes from Lyme Regis seafront..
Short walk to seafront, Old Town and River Lim
Set in one of Lyme Regis’s oldest streets, this compact terraced cottage blends period character with seaside convenience. Exposed beams, an original fireplace and a cosy window seat create an inviting living space, while a fitted shaker-style kitchen and ground-floor slate flooring give practical, low-maintenance surfaces. A converted attic room adds flexibility as a home office or occasional third bedroom and offers a distant sea glimpse.
The location is a major draw: a short walk through the Old Town or along the River Lim brings you to the seafront, independent shops, eateries, galleries and a microbrewery. A private off-street parking space to the rear is a rare asset so close to the town centre. Council Tax is moderate (Band C) and mains services are connected; the gas combi boiler serves the property.
Important practical points: the property sits in a Conservation Area and has a high flooding risk, so purchasers should seek specialist flood advice and appropriate insurance. Broadband speeds are slow locally, which may affect home-working unless an alternative solution is arranged. The house footprint and rear courtyard are small, so outside space and internal floor area are limited compared with larger family homes.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located cottage suited to a purchaser seeking period charm and town-centre living close to the sea. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers who value location and character over large gardens or extensive internal space. Note the flood risk and constrained plot when assessing suitability and insurance costs.
