Aveno permanent dossier · published 13 Aug 2026

The Lookout

St Marys Lane, Uplyme, Lyme Regis, Devon

Film by Barrett Photographers for Knight Frank

Independent reading

A 2016 Baufritz house above Lyme Bay: nearly 5,000 sq ft, infinity pool and total privacy within more than 58 acres of woodland.

The architecture, coast-facing setting and land clear the benchmark; the 999-year Forestry Commission lease over much of the woodland is the central legal and valuation question.

This history does not prove fair value. It tells the buyer exactly how much of the current price must be explained by market growth, improvements, specification and scarcity.

Land Registry can establish sale history; EPC can reveal rated floor area and energy assumptions; Planning Data can surface constraints by UPRN or coordinate. A link alone is never counted as intelligence.

All property film and photography remain publisher-controlled. Only the live film player and original Aveno evidence graphics are permitted; social stills require separate written permission. The exact-property film remains inside the publisher-controlled Vimeo player exposed by the live listing. Aveno copies, downloads, screenshots, rehosts and hotlinks none of the agent media. The dossier retains an Aveno evidence panel and direct publisher/source links if the remote player is unavailable; no broken-image panel is rendered. Third-party material remains the property of its publisher. The publisher does not endorse Aveno’s independent assessment.
