Dorset Greener Homes - Shire End West, Lyme Regis

Shire End West is at one end of a terrace of three Grade II Listed Victorian properties situated off Cobb Rd in an elevated position overlooking Lyme Regis Harbour. Following a recent renovation the property now features a strikingly modern single storey extension juxtaposed with the original historic house. The grounds extend to around two acres, mostly of mature woodland.

On your visit you will be able to learn about retrofitting a listed building, sheep’s wool insulation, solar control glazing, energy and cost saving measures, sustainable wood burning, veg growing and top tips for composting. The Shire End West project demonstrates that it is possible to work within the constraints of conservation to upgrade a thermally inefficient Listed building whilst retaining the historic fabric.
