Lyme Regis is one of the most unspoilt
resorts on the South Coast and has many
buildings of great historic and
architectural interest.
‘Glen Andred’ is one of those buildings. Set
in large secluded gardens in an elevated
position above the town
The house was built in the early 1900’s and
it was carefully restored and developed in
about 1989/90. Detailed plans were drawn
up by the well-known Dorset architect
Cecil Davies. Two wings were added at
the rear of the house, with due respect to
the original elevation. The house was then
sympathetically divided into five luxury
apartments. The work was carried out to
an unusually high standard and the
property has been well managed and
maintained by a professional management
company.
Each apartment has its own car parking
space and there is also room for visitor’s
parking.
The house is south facing and set in the
professionally landscaped gardens in a
sought-after residential area about three
quarters of a mile from the town centre.
Apartment 4 has the benefit of fine sea
views. Just a few hundred yards below the
property is the River Lym alongside which
is a picturesque walk inland to Uplyme
and also eastwards to the town centre.
Lyme Regis is a picturesque 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.
To the front of the house is an impressive entrance porch and entrance door with stained glass panels to
communal reception hall (shared by apartments 1,2, 3 and 4) with stairs to First Floor landing and doors
to nos. 3 and 4.
