It is worth mentioning that there is little chance of encountering other folk in close proximity at Fossilers’ Lodge as the property stands pretty much alone save for the private and little-used outdoor access passage.
Situated in the heart of Lyme Regis – a stone’s throw from the seafront, with views to the sea from the south facing windows – this four-bedroom home offers spacious and well-equipped accommodation for families or groups of couples seeking the perfect seaside break. This maisonette apartment, Grade II listed building is one of the most historic buildings in Lyme and rumoured to be six hundred years old. Fossilers has been fully refurbished with a new kitchen and bathrooms. The owner has made efforts to retain much of the character of this historic building, incorporating original features such as wood panelling, window seats and exposed beams. A wood burner has been fitted into the old half-inglenook fireplace in the sitting room and the furnishings and decor reflect a homely and relaxed approach to the holiday experience. There are four spacious bedrooms, two shower rooms plus a separate bathroom with the added benefit of complimentary towels, making this a great choice for larger groups.

This apartment is located in the very heart of the beautiful, unspoilt seaside town of Lyme Regis, on the stunning Dorset coast.
