The ideal coastal cottage for a group of friends or family in a rural, coastal location. The sleepy village of Branscombe offers a traditional pub and two cafes, one of which is also a small shop (approximately 0.5 miles). Walk to the seafront to discover the long, shingle Branscombe Beach (less than 0.5 miles) surrounded by rugged cliffs and greenery. To the east, you’ll find the village of Beer (2 miles), with more options for places to dine out as well as the 2,000-year-old Beer Quarry Caves, an art gallery, plenty of shops and another shingle beach.
Stepping inside the property, you’ll be met with a spacious living room. Marvel at the antique decor in this bright room, with a south-facing floor-to-ceiling window. Relax on the low, retro designer sofas while admiring the views across the valley and village of Branscombe. If it’s chilly in the evening, light the wood burner for a cosy night in watching a movie on the Smart TV with your guests. The dining room is a sociable space with a large table that seats 12 and chairs beside the row of large windows. An additional sofa is at one end of the room and a bookshelf to enjoy. Inside the breakfast room, also on the ground floor, is a smaller table and chairs for six to eight guests, with an original set of butler bells which can be operated from the various rooms in the house.
Continue into the homely kitchen where you’ll find seating for four beside the wooden kitchen units. For some peace and quiet, relax in the conservatory with comfortable seating and a tea trolley. There’s also a convenient utility room and a rear porch. A basement games room with table tennis table for family fun.
