3 Dolphin Close, Lyme Regis

A DETACHED HOUSE SITUATED IN A QUIET CUL-DE-SAC CONVENIENTLY POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE AND SEAFRONT, WITH PARKING TO THE FRONT

3 Dolphin Close is a detached property, thought to have been built during the 1970s of cavity wall construction, faced in reconstructed stone beneath a tiled roof.

Elevated slightly above the road, the property affords a nice outlook across the old town with partial sea views, and is conveniently positioned for Lyme Regis town centre and the seafront, occupying a quiet cul-de-sac position and benefitting from parking to the front of the property.

No. 3 has been extremely well cared for and updated under the current ownership, and benefits from good proportions throughout with the convenience of modern living requirements. A particular feature is the large decked area to the front, an ideal entertaining space during the warmer months, as well as a useful studio space accessed from the rear garden.

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.
