The property

Hawksdown is a beautifully spacious and well-appointed three-bedroom cottage, quietly tucked away in a peaceful side lane, offering sweeping views across Lyme Regis and the dramatic Jurassic Coast.

Welcoming couples, families, and friends alike, this remarkable property has been lovingly extended and styled to create a warm, elegant home that’s ideal for a coastal escape. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the generous off-road parking and the expansive wrap-around garden, bordered by mature hedges and neatly kept lawns.

Several patio areas provide inviting spots to dine alfresco or simply unwind and enjoy the fresh sea air. 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. A separate utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer adds convenience, especially for longer stays.

The sleeping accommodation includes a king-size master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a double bedroom with built-in storage and lovely views, and a third bedroom set up as a pleasant twin.

A stylish family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower, along with an additional cloakroom, ensures ease for all guests. 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. For those with a taste for adventure, Lyme Regis is a hotspot for watersports.

Paddleboarding and kayaking are popular in the calm bay, and exhilarating RIB rides offer a thrilling way to explore the coastline from the water.

The town also lies directly on the South West Coast Path, offering spectacular walks along rugged cliffs and through unspoilt countryside - ideal for walkers and nature lovers. When it comes to food, Lyme Regis is a delight.

Enjoy fresh, sustainably sourced seafood at Rockfish, perched above the beach with panoramic views, or discover the many independent cafés, welcoming pubs, and artisan bakeries scattered throughout the town.

Whether you're in the mood for traditional fish and chips or a memorable evening meal, there’s something to suit every palate. The town also boasts a charming selection of independent shops, galleries, and boutiques, perfect for a leisurely browse.

And for those looking to explore further afield, there are plenty of nearby gems to discover, from the quaint fishing village of Beer to the elegant seaside town of Sidmouth, home to the much-loved Donkey Sanctuary, a favourite with visitors of all ages. 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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
