Inside, the layout is perfectly designed for chilled family living. The entrance hall leads into a fabulous lounge with a Smart TV and patio doors that open directly onto the garden. At the heart of the home is a bright and airy open-plan living space, where a well-equipped kitchen complete with a gas range cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and breakfast bar, flows into a spacious dining and lounge area. Large windows frame the coastal views, filling the room with natural light and a sense of calm.

Just a short walk or drive from Hawksdown brings you into the heart of Lyme Regis, a lively and picturesque seaside town on the Jurassic Coast. The gently sloping, sandy beach is perfect for paddling, swimming, and sandcastle building, while the historic Cobb Harbour offers a scenic setting for crabbing, boat watching, or simply soaking in the coastal atmosphere.

Whether you're planning a fun-filled family holiday or a peaceful coastal retreat, Hawksdown offers the perfect base to experience the very best of this beautiful and welcoming corner of the West Country.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes.
