Property description

Substantial detached property in a sought-after location which has been carefully modernised and now boasts an impressive glazed extension to the Kitchen/Dining Room which takes full advantage of the outstanding sea views.

Location:
Beer is a highly sought after fishing village situated on the Jurassic Coast. A crystal clear brook runs down the main street to the pebble beach with its colourful fishing boats. The quaint village centre has various eateries, galleries, shops, gardens, primary school and Pecorama with its steam trains. Close by are delightful coastal and country walks, including cliff-top walks to Seaton Hole and Branscombe.Seaton is located between the ancient harbour of Axmouth and the white cliffs of Beer. Its mile long beach, with level promenade, opens onto the waters of Lyme Bay, which is part of the Jurassic coast. The town itself has many small shops, a local hospital, doctors surgeries, primary school, banks and building societies. Seaton is a popular resort for holiday makers, and boasts a wealth of activities including golf, tennis, bowls and sailing. A tourist tram line connects Seaton to Colyton with its exceptional grammar school. The County town of Exeter, with its regional airport, is some 20 miles to the west, and the mainline rail link to London (Waterloo) is at Axminster, approximately 7 miles distant.

Directions:
Take the B3174 Beer Road out of Seaton. After you have passed the last house on your right out of Seaton, the road bears around to the right and then to the left with turnings to Old Beer Road on the left and Bunts Lane on the right. Continue straight ahead on the B3174 and shortly, there'll be some properties on the left. Peace River is the 5th of these properties and parking is available in the driveway.

The Property:
Located in a semi-rural position between the picturesque fishing village of Beer and the coastal town of Seaton is Peace River, a substantial detached property set on a generous plot. It is located in a much sought-after elevated position enjoying panoramic views over the valley across the whole of the beach and seafront of Seaton towards the surrounding countryside and sea including Portland Bill on a clear day.The property is surrounded by delightful mature gardens including a large raised decking area for alfresco entertaining. There is a sizeable area to the rear of the property which we understand has planning for an Eco Garden House which could provide extra accommodation for family and friends wishing to visit.A particular feature of the property is the large kitchen/dining room which has been extended with an impressive glazed addition taking full advantage of the glorious views. There is also an extensive decked terrace area (constructed of non-slip decking boards) which has direct access from the Master Bedroom from which the views are outstanding.The property was built in 1964 and enjoys many features that would be expected from a property of this era, including well proportioned rooms and large windows affording lots of natural light.
