Property description

A detached reverse level house with four bedrooms, stunning countryside views and an office/studio, in this popular East Devon village.


This detached house has been designed with reverse level accommodation in order that it takes full advantage of a wonderful position in the East Devon village of Branscombe. Standing on an elevated plot, Rainbow Cottage provides accommodation that, on the ground floor, comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst, on the first floor, there is a spacious kitchen with utility room, good size sitting room, master bedroom and a separate WC. The property is heated by an oil-fired central heating system and there are double-glazed windows throughout. There are tiered gardens to the rear with far-reaching views over St Winifred's Church and the surrounding countryside.


Branscombe is a delightful East Devon village which lies between the coastal towns of Beer and Sidmouth. The larger town of Sidmouth is approximately seven miles away and provides a full range of amenities which include a Waitrose supermarket, theatre, various sports clubs and societies. Branscombe itself enjoys a delightful beach as well as a village school, Post Office/Shop and two public houses.


The University and Cathedral City of Exeter lies to the west where there are main-line rail links to London Paddington, the M5 Motorway and Exeter International Airport. The market town of Honiton lies inland and has a mainline link to London Waterloo and the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School is approximately five miles away.
