2 Lymbrook Cottages, Jericho, Lyme Regis

A PRETTY TERRACED COTTAGE IN A QUIET RIVERSIDE SETTING.
RECENTLY TASTEFULLY REFURBISHED.

This charming period cottage (in a terrace of 4) is believed to have been built about 200 years ago as an artisans cottage for the local silk mill. The walls are principally of stone, rendered externally beneath a tiled roof.

The cottage has been carefully modernised and is an attractively presented character home. It is successfully holiday let and this arrangement can continue if the purchaser is seeking an investment property/holiday retreat.

The property enjoys a delightful setting backing into the River Lym, well away from busy traffic and just a few minutes level walk alongside the river and through the picturesque old town (Mill Green and Coombe Street) to the town centre shops and seafront.

Lyme Regis is an historic 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.
