Common Lane, Beer, Seaton, Devon, EX12

THE PROPERTY. 7 Seaview Terrace forms part of an exceptionally attractive row of Victorian cottages which were built circa 1873 and formed part of the Clinton Devon Estate. Constructed of local flintstone with brick quoins under tiled roofs, they step their way up Common Lane and are an iconic feature of the village, being much admired by passers-by and making Beer’s coastal landscape unique and exceedingly picturesque. Number 7 sits midway within the terrace and is just a stone’s throw from the village street and Sea Hill which descends to the beach and Beer’s stunning cove. 7 Seaview Terrace represents a very rare opportunity having been in the same family for over 60 years and these properties scarcely come to the market. It is also one of only a few to offer garaging to the rear, as well as an outhouse (with power, light and a WC) which has a variety of uses and no doubt has potential for further conversion (subject to any planning consents required). OUTSIDE. To the front of the cottage and accessed through attractive round pillars is a paved seating area which takes advantage of the glorious sea and coastal views. To the rear is a paved courtyard garden adjacent to which is the outhouse and gardener’s WC, along with a further covered store. Steps rise to the garage which opens onto The Meadows. SITUATION. Beer is a typical example of an unspoilt Devon fishing village and has a variety of shopping and recreational amenities such as restaurants, public houses, post office, galleries, primary school and sailing club. Glorious country and coastal walks emanate from the doorstep over a myriad of footpaths which include the South West Peninsular Coastal Path from which there are stunning views over this dramatic stretch of coastline. The Regency town of Sidmouth lies some 8 miles to the west and is one of East Devon's premier coastal resorts with beautiful parks and an excellent variety of independent shops, along with a cinema, theatre and range of sporting facilities. The market town of Axminster is about 9 miles away and has a main line rail link to London Waterloo and Cathedral City of Exeter is approx. 23 miles distant with excellent shopping facilities, express rail link to London Paddington, international airport and M5 access.
