4 bedroom apartment for sale

A TRULY FANTASTIC LISTED GRADE II FOUR BEDROOM MAISONETTE SITUATED IN THE VERY HEART OF THE TOWN, WITH PARKING, BALCONY AND DELIGHTFUL VIEWS ACROSS THE JURASSIC COASTLINE.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away, yet in the very heart of this wonderful seaside town, The Chatham forms part of what was once 'The Great House', a Listed grade II building that has since been converted into four individual apartments.

The Chatham, arranged over 2/3 floors is a most intriguing and spacious residence, of elegant Georgian proportions, with an abundance of original period features, that have been both enhanced and restored in recent years, having undergone a fastidious programme of works.

Magnificent views to the sea, Golden Cap and Portland are enjoyed from both the sitting and dining area, and also from a large decked terrace to the rear, which is no doubt why it has been very successfully holiday let for many years by the current owners.

The property is entered on the ground floor with a wide staircase leading up to the top floor, boasting a fantastic open plan sitting/dining room with beautiful stripped wooden flooring, central fireplace, wood burning stove and a door leading out to a fantastic decked terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and taking full advantage of the stunning views of the sea and World Heritage Jurassic Coast. To one end of the sitting room is the kitchen incorporating a range of wall and base units and a Falcon dual fuel range oven. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, of which two are en suite, and the other two sharing a Jack & Jill shower room. The principal room also boasts sea views.

OUTSIDE
The property has independent access from the rear, as well as shared access via a covered passage leading directly onto Broad Street in the centre of the town. Vehicular access is via the NCP car park, arriving at a good-sized courtyard parking area for 3-4 cars.
There is a beautiful decked terrace leading out from the main sitting room, which enjoys magnificent views over the town and to the sea, taking in the Golden Cap, Portland Bill.
All in all, this is a truly beautiful property in an idyllic seaside location, which would make a fabulous primary or secondary home, or indeed investment opportunity.

LOCATION
Lyme Regis is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the Cobb, (made famous by Jane Austin and John Fowle's French Lieutenants Woman) and the harbour. These along with the stunning surrounding countryside and coastline all justify Lyme Regis's worldwide reputation.

The town has an excellent selection of facilities, including many independent shops as well as the familiar high street brands. There are two supermarkets, a number of restaurants, notably Mark Hix's Oyster and Fish House, the boutique Alexander Hotel to name but one of the many, as well as its own Theatre. The nearby town of Axminster just five miles away has a large supermarket and a variety of independent shops and cafes, and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
