Lighthouse

About this property

Lighthouse, in Lyme Regis is a striking architect-designed home, perfectly placed in the heart of this much-loved coastal town. Constructed within the grounds of the former school on what was once its playground, this distinctive detached property effortlessly blends bold contemporary architecture with exceptional attention to detail. Just a short stroll from the beach, harbour, independent shops, cafés and restaurants, Lighthouse offers a stylish and memorable retreat from which to enjoy all that Lyme Regis has to offer.

Designed with an inverted layout to maximise its elevated setting, the living accommodation occupies the upper floor, where dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing and doors opening onto a Juliet balcony create a wonderful sense of space and light. From here, far-reaching views sweep across the rooftops of Lyme Regis towards The Cobb, Lyme Bay and the Jurassic Coast beyond, giving the impression of being suspended above the town. Beautifully furnished with handcrafted pieces, thoughtfully selected interiors and carefully placed splashes of colour, the open-plan living area feels both contemporary and inviting. Curl up beside the wood-burning stove, cook with ease in the well-equipped kitchen featuring integrated appliances and a dishwasher, or gather around the dining table to enjoy good food and conversation against a backdrop of ever-changing coastal views. From peaceful mornings watching the town come to life to relaxed evenings overlooking the coast, this remarkable space is designed to bring people together.

Throughout the property, a blend of striking design features and modern conveniences creates a home full of character, while underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort. Whether visiting during the warmer months for beach days and coastal adventures or escaping for a cosy winter break, Lighthouse provides a welcoming haven where guests can return and unwind in style after a day spent exploring the Jurassic Coast.

On the ground floor are two comfortable and thoughtfully presented bedrooms. The king-size bedroom provides a restful retreat, while the second bedroom features a single bed with an additional pull-out trundle, making it particularly well suited to children. Completing this floor is a contemporary shower room with a spacious wet room-style shower, wash basin and WC.

A striking solid spiral staircase rises to the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys views towards the sea and benefits from a luxurious en-suite bathroom. A beautiful freestanding copper bath takes centre stage, offering the perfect place to relax and recharge after a day outdoors, alongside a separate shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside, a private decked seating area offers an inviting spot for morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or evening drinks after a day by the coast. An off-road parking space adds further convenience, a valuable feature in the centre of Lyme Regis.

Whether you're searching for fossils along the Jurassic Coast, wandering the historic Cobb harbour, enjoying one of the town's many restaurants and cafés, or setting off along the spectacular South West Coast Path, Lighthouse provides a unique and stylish base from which to experience this beautiful stretch of the Dorset coastline.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!
