A CHARMING DETACHED PERIOD HOUSE WITH SEA VIEWS
CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE AND SEAFRONT
Rose Cottage is a pretty period property (probably Georgian) which is Grade II Listed and includes many character features.
The present owner purchased the property in 2005 and carried out sympathetic refurbishment which included rebuilding the former stable to create an impressive open plan living area.
The cottage has good sized 3/4 Bedroomed accommodation which is light and bright and overlooks the part walled garden and there are excellent views of the sea and coastline.
It is conveniently situated within easy access of the town centre and seafront including Langmoor and Lister Public Gardens which lead down to Marine Parade and the Cobb Harbour.
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.
