Church Street, Lyme Regis

This unique property presents a remarkable investment opportunity located in the heart of Lyme Regis, just a short stroll from the beach. Previously operated as a flourishing Italian restaurant for three decades by the same family, this grade II listed building features a spacious four-bedroom maisonette above and offers substantial potential with an additional detached single-storey annex that has successfully functioned as a holiday let for over ten years. The ground floor encompasses a fully equipped commercial kitchen and restaurant area with access to landscaped gardens, providing an ideal setup for continued hospitality use or conversion into additional residential space. The maisonette is spread across two levels and includes essential living amenities as well as the possibility of transforming it into two separate two-bedroom apartments, supported by planning permission granted in 2022. Further opportunities exist to explore dividing the entire building into three distinct apartments, subject to necessary consents. Retaining period features such as open fireplaces and exposed beams, this property blends character with modern investment potential. The garden area not only provides privacy for the annex but also enhances outdoor appeal with attractive seating spaces. Located within a conservation area, just meters away from local shops and seafront attractions, this property is set amidst a vibrant community known for its artisanal offerings and natural beauty along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. This property holds considerable renovation possibilities while being situated in a highly desirable location known for its rich history and scenic landscapes.
