Springfield House is an imposing period house with elegant accommodation extending to over 5,000 square feet, with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, wrap-around gardens, parking for six - eight cars and just 5 minutes' walk to Lyme Regis town and the Cobb. Springfield is a classic detached Georgian House understood to date back to circa 1794 and is listed Grade II of Architectural or Historic importance. Built of stone (rendered) under a slate hipped roof and in the current ownership the property has been subject to extensive and sympathetic refurbishment. The house offers numerous period features typical of its age and type including high ceilings, window shutters, sash windows, deep skirting boards, ornate cornices and a sweeping staircase. The accommodation is well proportioned, extremely versatile and arranged over three floors with many of the rooms taking advantage of the stunning sea views. On entering the property via the impressive hallway a sweeping staircase leads to the upper floors. The main reception rooms are on the south and west of the property and are light and spacious with impressive high ceilings and full length windows or doors to enjoy the views and provide access to the outside. The kitchen has been designed with the cook in mind, with ample storage and work surfaces and range cooker as well as integrated fridges, freezers and a wine fridge. There is space for informal dining to seat eight in the kitchen, whilst the adjacent dining room will comfortably seat fourteen or more, adjoining is a snooker/games room. The impressive drawing room has a central fireplace and full length glass doors to the veranda, whilst a more informal sitting room makes an ideal family room. On the first floor are six double bedrooms and five bathrooms all tastefully decorated and with some attractive period features.

On the lower ground floor are a series of useful rooms used for storage, including a wine vault and workshop space. It would be possible (subject to planning and listed building consent) to create a self contained flat with its own access from the parking area.
