## Description

A CHARMING PERIOD TOWN HOUSE WITH 4 BEDROOMS. 

RECENTLY REFURBISHED TO A HIGH STANDARD. 

PICTURESQUE LOCATION IN THE 'OLD TOWN' 

2 Monmouth Street is a handsome period town house (Listed Grade II) which has recently undergone extensive refurbishment and is now a tastefully appointed character home with good quality modern facilities. 

The light and bright 4 bedroomed accommodation is equally well suited as a family holiday home/letting property or a comfortable permanent residence. 

The property enjoys an attractive setting close to the Georges Square Memorial Garden just below the Parish Church in the picturesque Old Town (a Conservation Area). The level position close to the seafront and Town Mill is a particular feature of the property. Easy access to both beaches and inland to picturesque riverside walks. 

Lyme Regis is an historic coastal town noted for its many character buildings, centuries old Cobb Harbour and unspoilt surrounding countryside. The town centre provides good shopping facilities for day to day needs and the larger centres of Taunton and Exeter are both about 28 miles away. There is a main line railway station at Axminster (6 miles inland). In Lyme Regis there is also a sailing club, bowls, golf course, theatre, cinema and numerous local societies.

The town is situated on the beautiful and unspoilt Devon and Dorset 'Jurassic Coast' awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in December 2001.
