Gazing down on Lyme Regis and its sand beaches is an apartment for 2 with stunning sea views - a 10-minute stroll to the celebrated Cobb

Fling open the mullioned windows and let the fresh air in; gaze down on charming Lyme, its sand beaches and sweeping bay beyond – the views are a joy. An imposing Victorian building on the descent into town, Coram Towers is named after a famous local-born captain. Number 5 is a couple of flights up – a sparkling bolthole in tip-top condition. Find polished floorboards, white walls dotted with watercolours of boats, handsome leather sofas, a big mirror soaking up the views, magazines waiting to introduce you to local Dorset life. At one end is a corner kitchen with smart white units and every utensil you could possibly need (should you be able to resist the temptation of the local restaurants); on the dining table, a super hamper of organic goodies awaits, including eggs from the owner’s hens. In the sweet bedroom is another mullioned window with views of town and fields beyond, and there are lovely toiletries in the compact, contemporary shower It's a ten-minute walk down the hill to the sea front and Cobb; take a detour and wind your way up through landscaped public gardens. A flat of character in an amazing position.
