The Little House is a charming, mid-terrace cottage nestled in the heart of the Axe Valley in the small village of Axmouth on the Dorset & Devon border. This well positioned home is a few minutes drive from the seaside town of Seaton, between the coastal towns of Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. There is a mile long level walk along the riverside to the pretty Axe Harbour and the magnificent mile long Seaton beach with an esplanade, with views to the cliffs and Jurassic coastline.
As you step inside the entrance hall, you will walk into the cosy and inviting living room which has plenty of comfortable seating, a Smart TV, DVD player, two sofas and a wood burner. The kitchen next door is fully equipped and the dining table in the conservatory is the perfect space for enjoying a home-cooked meal with your fellow guests, with a set of French doors opening out into the private tiered garden. The garden is fully enclosed and has an outdoor seating area where you can sip on your morning coffee and contemplate how to best spend your day.

Across the landing area is the family shower room which has a shower cubicle, toilet, wash basin and an LED mirror.
The house enjoys a very peaceful location on a country lane adjacent to a stream with sheep in the nearby fields, an abundance of local walks and bridle paths nearby. There is a children’s playground opposite which is ideal for families staying in the cottage, and there are two great local pubs in Axmouth serving food. The cottage sits at the upper end of the beautiful Axe Estuary, abundant with bird and wildlife. At the mouth of the estuary is Axmouth Harbour, home to a number of small local fishing and pleasure boats, and direct access to pebble beaches, ideal for rock-pooling, crabbing, fishing and water sports. Within a mile is the small town of Seaton which has a unique tramway running inland, alongside the estuary and Seaton Marshes Nature Reserve, to the medieval market town of Colyton. The tram is perfect for birdwatchers, transport enthusiasts or those who simply want to watch the beautiful riverside scenery glide by.
Only a short drive from the coastal resorts of Lyme Regis, Branscombe and Beer, this cottage is ideally placed to explore the World Heritage Jurassic coastline with its pretty beaches and fishing harbours. Also nearby is the market town of Axminster. Honiton is also well worth a visit, with some lovely cafés to enjoy after browsing in the antiques shops and the cathedral city of Exeter is another good day out. This wonderful stretch of east Devon coastline has a chain of pretty fishing villages and traditional seaside towns such as Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. Beach 1 mile.

Owner did not supply a welcome pack....not even a bottle of milk in the fridge so when you arrived from travelling to the cottage you could at least make a cup of tea this was very poor...so we had to go out again just to buy a pint of milk to make a cup of tea
