The house is set in the picturesque hamlet of Shore Bottom in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The spacious 3 bedroom property has grounds of 6 acres and has a lovely large garden with a terrace overlooking 3 ponds of varying sizes and a rose and honeysuckle covered gazebo with views to the countryside beyond. The ponds are a lovely feature of the property, but small children need to be supervised around them at all times. There are 2 sitting rooms - one with French doors onto the terrace and a cosy, oak beamed area to enjoy the log burner set in the original old fireplace, the other sitting room is a large contemporary room off the kitchen , french doors open onto the garden and there are stunning views from all the windows onto the surrounding fields, often home to horses or sheep. The kitchen is a lovely traditional Devon country kitchen with pine table and Aga (there is also an electric oven and hob). It has a delightful window seat overlooking the garden and ponds. There is a very large utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Off this is a large modern shower room. The main bedroom has a super-kingsize bed and wonderful dual-aspect views. There is a family bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a Kingsize bed. At the other end of the house is another flight of stairs leading to a large bedroom with 3 single beds one of which is a trundle bed that pulls out to make a double bed or additional single (sleeping 4 in total). Garden furniture and a BBQ are available to enjoy the garden in the summer and a handy second fridge freezer in the garage. The nearest pubs are the ancient Tuckers Arms in the village of Dalwood, 3 miles away, very good home cooked food, amazing Sunday Roasts or The Kings Arms in Stockland village, 3 miles away. The nearest beach is Lyme Regis (15 mins) where you can enjoy fish and chips on the beach, or push the boat out and admire the amazing view of the Cobb and harbour from Hix Crab and Oyster House restaurant. Axminster, with its direct train line to Waterloo, is a 15 minute drive away and has been firmly put on the map with Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall’s River Cottage restaurant. Honiton is also 15 minutes away and is a historic Devon town with a weekly market on Saturdays. The discerning Pig Group of hotels the Pig At Coombe, just a 20 minute drive away, lovely for a special lunch or dinner during your stay. East Devon is very unspoilt and there are numerous coastal towns to explore, from bijou Topsham on the beautiful Exe Estuary to seaside classic Sidmouth. There is a fantastic walk over the cliffs from Beer to Branscombe where you are rewarded by a delicious lunch at The Mason’s Arms. There is much to see and do in the area but the main joy of a holiday here is just being at the house with family and friends. The photos include a drone video of the property.
