Step into history at this Lyme Regis apartment. You'll find it in a Grade II-listed building designed by Captain Thomas Coram, and the castle-like architecture is instantly striking. Stone windows flood the lounge with light. Better yet, they also highlight the sensational coastal views. Whether you're tucking into breakfast at the table, cosying up with a book in the window seat, or lounging on the sofa, you'll be treated to sweeping panoramas over Lyme Bay and the Jurassic coastline. Location-wise, the beach is a ten-minute stroll away, an array of shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and Dorset's attractions aren't far by car.
