A characterful Grade II listed cottage situated in the heart of Lyme Regis' Old Town within easy reach of the town, seafront and beaches. 43 Coombe Street is a charming end of terrace cottage, thought to have once been the former cobblers shop for the town. The cottage has retained many of its character features including exposed beams and sash windows, arranged over three floors with versatile space throughout. The property is in need of comprehensive refurbishment and updating and is offered to the market with no onward chain. Lyme Regis is famed for its many historic connections and character buildings, and of course, for its well known Cobb Harbour. As a resort, it is considered quite unspoilt, but has most of the shops and amenities that one could require. In addition to which there are numerous leisure activities including both sailing and power boat clubs, a cliff top golf course and a bowling club. The whole coastline with Lyme Regis and Charmouth at its centre has been designated a World Heritage Site commonly known as the Jurassic Coast, it lies approximately 5 miles from the market town of Axminster, with its main line railway connections to Waterloo (Approx. 2 3/4 hours).
