43 Coombe Street, Lyme Regis

A CHARACTERFUL GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE SITUATED IN CHARMING COOMBE STREET, WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE OF THE SEAFRONT AND TOWN CENTRE

43 Coombe Street is a charming end terraced cottage, thought to have once been the former cobblers shop for the town and positioned within touching distance of Lyme Regis town centre and the seafront.

The cottage retains inherent character features, including exposed beams in some rooms and sash windows, arranged over three floors and offering versatile space throughout. There is the potential for future owners to make their mark on the property, although it does now require comprehensive refurbishment and updating throughout.

No. 43 benefits from a lower ground floor reception space with storage, which could be utilised for a number of uses, as well as a generous courtyard space adjacent to the cottage with an outside loo.

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.
