Belmont, Lyme Regis, Grade II listed country house in Lyme Regis, England.

Belmont stands as a late Georgian residence with decorative stonework adorning its pediment and front facade, featuring an observatory tower added in the 19th century.

Eleanor Coade, a successful businesswoman who manufactured artificial stone, constructed the house in 1784 and incorporated her innovative material throughout the building.

The property served as the residence of novelist John Fowles for 37 years until the Landmark Trust acquired and restored it to preserve its architectural heritage.

The house operates as a self-catering holiday accommodation, with scheduled open days allowing public access to explore the historical interiors and exhibition space.

The nineteenth-century observatory tower contains original astronomical equipment and mechanisms for tracking celestial bodies through its rotating roof structure.
