Malabar House (Ref. 1142151)

Malabar House is a grand, Grade II listed building, located in the heart of the old town of picturesque Lyme Regis, a seaside town situated on the UNESCO Jurassic Coast in Dorset. Being only a minute’s walk from the sea and shops, it is perfectly positioned for effortless seaside exploration and forays into this fascinating and historic town’s centre.

Believed to be one of its oldest buildings, Malabar House has
been sympathetically restored making it an exceptional four
bedroomed holiday home with superb modern facilities yet
beautifully retaining its historical charm and character. Behind the imposing double fronted Georgian façade, you’re welcomed into a bright and spacious interior, thoughtfully arranged for larger families or groups of friends to enjoy a memorable holiday, whatever the occasion.

The drawing room is an impressive space with a wealth of
original features including a Tudor fireplace, original ceiling
beams and carefully restored window shutters. Bedecked with
period furniture and plush seating, this spacious and charming
room is the perfect place to retreat to at the end of the day.

From the Georgian panelled front door, the hallway leads to the
rear of the house, this is the real heart of this home with a stylish, yet individual kitchen, perfectly equipped for family holidays and informal dining around the farmhouse style kitchen table. French doors open widely onto a delightful enclosed walled garden with a seating area with table and chairs adjacent to the house. Its sheltered sunny aspect creates its own microclimate with considered planting offering all season colour, illuminated in the evening with feature lighting as required.

The more relaxed garden sitting room is a delight, again with
French doors flooding the room with light and opening onto the
walled garden. In this area of the house, when all three doors
leading to the garden are open, the space both inside and out
offers a wonderful environment to relax in and savour alfresco
dining or a sociable drink during the warmer months. For special occasions and formal gatherings there is a magnificent dining room, also displaying many character features seen throughout this most extraordinary period property.

Heading up the feature art deco staircase, you reach the four
bedrooms, all opulently styled and furnished with a restful night’s sleep in mind. The three spacious king-size bedrooms, all with impressive en-suite shower rooms, have retained many original features including fireplaces with over mantel mirrors and wall panelling rediscovered during the recent renovations. The fourth bedroom, a delightful twin room, has use of the family bathroom also located on this floor.

Located in the heart of the old part of town, there is so much to
see and do all within easy distance from Malabar House. Step
outside and you are literally moments from the seafront with its
promenade, sandy beaches and iconic Cobb harbour, perfect for lazy summer days or soaking in the sea air at any time of the year.

The town has a superb selection of independent shops perfect for everyday needs, including local delis and the Town Mill bakery. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out, whether its savouring fish and chips on the seafront or enjoying one of the many popular pubs serving freshly cooked local produce. For a special occasion why not try The Oyster and Fish House or Tom’s on the seafront, both offering unrivalled views of the sea.

When it comes to days out, head to nearby Beer, a quaint village surrounded by white chalk cliffs, the shingle beach is lined with fishing boats still bringing in their daily catches and is famous for its mackerel. Other family favourite destinations include Charmouth with its Heritage Centre where you can learn about the Jurassic Coast and the areas rich geology, joining one of the guided fossil walks and trying your hand at finding your very own ammonites on the shore.

Experience a slice of Lyme’s history and book a stay to
remember at the truly remarkable Malabar House.
