About this property

Sunbeam Cottage nestling in the heart of Branscombe village with a parking space

A delightful wisteria clad period stone cottage with a parking space, located in the heart of Branscombe village.

The area is ideal for beachcombers and walkers with the nearby beach backed by magnificent cliffs with coastal paths to Beer and Sidmouth. Branscombe is famous for being situated on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Coastline. The village is set in a beautiful valley meandering down to the sea, surrounded by National Trust land.

The cottage boasts a wealth of character and is beautifully furnished with a nautical theme and designer soft furnishings. The property benefits from larger than expected front and back gardens with patio areas for dining alfresco.

The property is accessed from the road by five stone steps, with a stream flowing beneath, and entering through an archway into the front garden, which incorporates a rockery.

The delightful open plan lounge / dining room has a feature fireplace with an electric fire and is luxuriously furnished with oak furniture, a large dining table with seating for 6, TV, DVD and music system. There is Wi-fi at the cottage, but the mobile phone signal in the village is very poor. There is a land line for emergencies but otherwise it is incoming calls only.

The charming kitchen incorporates a dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge freezer, microwave, oven, hob and is fully equipped. The kitchen also allows for access to the back garden.

Upstairs to the bathroom, the family bathroom consists of white sanitary ware, there is a bath with overhead shower, WC and sink.

LOCAL AREA
Branscombe is a haven for walkers and for birdwatchers and the area is known as the Jurassic Coast and is ideal for exploring on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.
There is plenty to do in the area such as, take a trip on the tram in Seaton, or visit the nearby donkey sanctuary. Honiton market town is the home of Honiton lace and hosts a street market on a Saturday Sidmouth boasts a beach and each year holds a folk festival. Beer has a lovely pebble beach, plenty of shops and restaurants, and a quarry and caves which is open to visitors. The vast man-made complex of underground caves was created by hundreds of years of quarrying the famous Beer stone. The underground quarry which was first worked by the Romans, which in those days was quarried by hand. A small block weighing about 4 tons was carted on horse-drawn wagons and by barges from Beer Beach to its destination, sometimes involving journeys of several hundreds of miles. The quarry has supplied stone for 24 cathedrals including St Paul’s, The Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court and Exeter Cathedral.
A few local towns and villages to visit are Sidmouth, Dawlish Warren, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Honiton and Budleigh Salterton.
Lyme Regis boasts fabulous scenery and is an ancient town featured in the ‘Domesday Book’ and is home to a number of historical landmarks and educational attractions. Its historic harbour wall is known as the Cobb and is one of several iconic features, set against cliffs, yielding fossilised evidence of life on earth millions of years ago and is a great place to discover a lot you didn’t know about the UK's heritage.
