A very successful guest house occupying a prime position in the centre of the highly sought after historic coastal resort of Lyme Regis. EPC: Exempt - Grade II Listed
The Property
Lyme Townhouse is a fine and substantial attached Georgian town house, understood to date back to the early 19th century and Grade II Listed, of architectural or historic importance. The house contains a number of original features, typical of its age and type, including high ceilings, sash windows, bay windows, ornate cornices, ornate fireplaces and picture rails. Under the current ownership since 2013, the property has been subject to extensive and sympathetic refurbishment, all to a very high standard.
The house is very well appointed throughout with a whole number of stylish features.
The property also features a south-facing courtyard and off-road parking (a rarity and highly prized in the town centre).
The business
It has been long established as a guest house/bed and breakfast business for over 20 years. It is open all year and enjoys a very high occupancy rate.
The guest house is very popular for both weekend and mid-week breaks. There is an online booking system and also available through (rated a very high 9).
The business achieves a very good revenue with excellent potential to increase further.
The property is being sold as a going concern, including the comprehensive quality contents and with the benefit of excellent ongoing future bookings and repeat business.
Lyme Townhouse represents an excellent and rare home and income or investment opportunity.
