Lyme Regis sits on Dorset's Jurassic Coast, where you can stroll from a bustling high street of tea rooms, boutiques, and chip shops, to scenes like a fossilised beach known as Ammonite Pavement. At this intersection where prehistoric and modern times merge into a unique town, your Grade II listed home sits somewhere in the middle – just a five-minute stroll from the fresh waters of Lyme Regis Beach. Tucked away in the centre, this fully renovated loft immediately feels like somewhere you can relax. We love the original, Georgian features such as the stone wall, lovingly restored to its former glory – but also now functioning as a drinks hatch from the kitchen. Anyone for a top-up of English sparkling wine? While you’re in here, pop the local station on the retro-style radio while you prepare a picnic to take to the beach later in the afternoon. But before you head off, check out the upstairs. With warming colour palettes and soft furnishings throughout, comfort is easily achieved. This is especially true of the cosy bedrooms, where dusty pinks, upcycled furniture, and floral prints create a real homely atmosphere. Take in the cleansing, sea air from the windows – you’re certainly going to sleep well tonight.
