Nicknamed “The Pearl of Dorset”, the historic town of Lyme was granted a Royal Charter in 1284 hence the designation “Regis”. It is situated in Lyme Bay on the Dorset-Devon border, along the beautiful Jurassic Coast – a World Heritage Site because of its geological importance.

Properties on the iconic seafront and the characterful main street are highly sought-after, and come at a premium. Newer developments, such as Woodberry Copse, offer buyers the chance to invest in the fairytale seaside lifestyle with all the conveniences of modern property. Wessex Surveyors can advise on any aspect of property purchasing, be it residential, commercial, or rural investments.

Lyme Regis is world famous for the number of fossils which regularly appear on the beach because of the rapidly eroding cliffs. It offers a sandy beach, as well as opportunities for fishing and sightseeing boat trips. The famous Cobb is built of Portland stone, which has also been used for the more modern seafront development.

The town boasts independent retailers, a number of national chains and several galleries.

Lyme has good road connections, with the M5 at Exeter 25 miles to the west along the A3052 and the county town of Dorchester 25 miles to the east along the A35. A bus link operates to Axminster, on the Exeter to Waterloo railway line.

Wessex Surveyors cover Lyme Regis and all the surrounding villages including Charmouth, Yawl, Seaton, Colyton, Shute, Millbrook and Uplyme.
