1 Coppers Knapp

Two cars fit on the off-road parking at 1 Coppers Knapp, a semi-detached house in Lyme Regis with a shop and a pub each 0.3 miles away. French windows brighten the sitting and dining room, which has a selection of sofas and a dining table, and the fully fitted kitchen has an electric oven, a gas hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer.

The sleeping arrangement is simple: one king-size bedroom and one twin. The single bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower, plus a basin and WC. Gas central heating warms the house, and there is a smart TV with a Humax recorder, WiFi and a selection of books. Bed linen, towels, fuel and power come with the rent.

The patio is enclosed and faces south, with a table, chairs and shrubs, so breakfast can move outdoors. Indoors, the dining table and a spacious kitchen make family meals easy to organise, and the sitting room is light thanks to the French windows and fresh decoration.

Some practical points. There is no cot space, pets and smoking are not allowed, and guests pay a good-housekeeping bond on top of the rent. With a king-size and a twin room, an enclosed patio and parking for two cars, the house is best for a family or two couples sharing.
