Set in a delightful and tranquil location with countryside views across the valley is this attractive two bedroom well presented barn conversion.
Ideally suited as a second home or with the potential to be a successful holiday let/ investment. Colombo Cottage is an end-terrace holiday cottage nestling in a tranquil location mid-way between Lyme Regis and Charmouth. The well-maintained accommodation benefits from night-storage heating, double-glazed windows and pleasant, open views over neighbouring farmland. An internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate this cottage.
Lyme Regis is famed for its many historic connections and character buildings, and of course, for its well known Cobb Harbour. As a resort, it is considered quite unspoilt, but has most of the shops and amenities that one could require, in addition to which there are numerous leisure activities including both sailing and power boat clubs, a cliff top golf course and a bowling club. The whole coastline with Lyme Regis and Charmouth at its centre has recently been designated a World Heritage Site commonly known as the Jurassic Coast. It lies approximately 5 miles from the market town of Axminster, with its main line railway connections to Waterloo (Approx. 2 3/4 hours). Taunton and Exeter are within a radius of about 30 miles with access to the M5 motorway and the county town of Dorchester is a similar distance. Locally there are primary schools in Lyme Regis and Uplyme along with the well respected Woodroffe and Colyton Grammar Schools.
