Starley Bank, Clappentail Lane, Lyme Regis

A LINK DETACHED 1960s/70s HOUSE, OCCUPYING A TUCKED AWAY POSITION AND AFFORDING COASTAL VIEWS. IN NEED OF UPDATING.

Starley Bank is thought to have been constructed during the 1960s/70s, constructed to traditional specifications faced in reconstructed stone under a tiled roof.

The property has been within the same ownership for a number of decades, and whilst presented very well, it would now benefit from internal updating to better suit modern living requirements.

The house occupies a tucked away position off Clappentail Lane, and owing to its elevated situation, benefits from some lovely sea and coastal views across to Golden Cap from both the lounge and main bedroom. The rear garden is delightful and well tended, which also provides a fabulous outlook to the coast and Lyme Bay.

The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Lyme Regis is a picturesque coastal town noted for its many character buildings, centuries old Cobb Harbour and unspoilt surrounding countryside. The town centre provides good shopping facilities for day to day needs and the larger centres of Taunton and Exeter are both about 28 miles away. There is a main line railway station at Axminster (6 miles inland). In Lyme Regis there is also a sailing club, bowls, golf course, theatre and numerous local societies.

The town is situated on the beautiful and unspoilt Devon and Dorset ‘Jurassic Coast’ awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in December 2001.
