Located in the picturesque Lyme Regis, Dorset, Braeside is an impressive Victorian holiday home that accommodates up to ten guests across its five spacious bedrooms. This charming residence is ideally situated near the coast and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an excellent choice for families or groups of friends eager to explore the stunning Jurassic Coast. The property’s proximity to the town ensures easy access to beautiful beaches and a variety of local attractions, enhancing the overall holiday experience.
Braeside retains many of its original period features while being tastefully furnished to provide a comfortable stay. The ground floor boasts a generous family lounge equipped with plush seating and a woodburning stove, perfect for cozy evenings. The sociable kitchen, designed for group meals, leads to a large dining table where guests can gather. For entertainment, a family games room offers table tennis, pool, and air hockey, ensuring that guests have plenty of activities to enjoy during their stay.
On the first floor, three of the five bedrooms are located, including a super-king-size and a king-size room, both with en-suite shower facilities. A twin room and a family bathroom featuring a free-standing bath are also found on this level. Access to the second floor, where an additional double bedroom and another twin room are situated, is via a steep and narrow staircase, which may pose challenges for young children or individuals with mobility issues.
The outdoor space at Braeside is equally delightful, featuring various seating areas for sun-soaking and a spacious patio ideal for alfresco dining. A winding pathway leads through the garden to a decked terrace that offers stunning views of Lyme Regis and the sea. Just a short stroll from the property, guests can explore the vibrant town center filled with independent shops, cafés, and a diverse range of restaurants. The family-friendly seafront and opportunities for watersports, fossil hunting, and nearby attractions like the Charmouth heritage centre and Crealy Theme Park make Braeside a perfect base for a memorable seaside getaway.
