2 Bedroom Other

THE PROPERTY.
Hawk comprises a detached cedarwood holiday chalet which is located in a magnificent position, slightly elevated above the pebbles on Branscombe’s spectacular beach. It is one of only a dozen or so chalets to the west of the mouth and takes advantage of panoramic sea views with the Jurassic Coast stretching out in both directions. The accommodation has been the subject of a recent programme of refurbishment and is found in excellent order with a bright, fresh interior which has been painted white with new flooring flowing throughout. The vaulted sitting room has two bi-fold doors opening onto a balcony, a stunning place to sit and take in the sea air. The property offers two double bedrooms, the principal of which (with views to the sea) has been fitted with a single bed and bunk bunkbeds, and both rooms offer a storage space with further storage beneath the beds. The kitchen has been fitted with modern, high-gloss units and has a small dining table and a cooker with a gas hob, and the bathroom has also been refreshed and has a bath with a shower over.

Hawk is currently used as a bolt hole for the current owners and has, in the past, been successfully let on a holiday basis with excellent occupancy levels. It is leasehold on a 100 year lease which commenced in 2003 and can be used all year round. There is an annual service charge of circa £2000 which includes the ground rent and a parking permit for two vehicles at the Sea Shanty carpark. It is worth noting that you cannot drive directly to the property, it is located about a five minute walk from the carpark along the upper beach path.

SITUATION.
Branscombe is undoubtedly one of East Devon’s most picturesque coastal villages, nestled within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and located on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, famous for its walks, high cliffs and dramatic scenery. The village has a range of amenities including two popular public houses, National Trust owned tea rooms and forge, primary school, a tennis court & playing fields, and a very pretty and ancient parish church.

Branscombe has the dual advantage of lying in one of East Devon’s most sought after and unspoilt areas, whilst still enjoying easy access to all the region’s amenities. The market town of Honiton is 10 miles away and has an extensive range of shops, schools and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline rail link to London Waterloo. The premier coastal resort of Sidmouth, with its handsome Regency front and esplanade, is 7 miles (by car) to the west, whilst the Cathedral City of Exeter is about 20 miles away and also provides a range of shops and facilities, M5 access, express rail link to London Paddington and an international airport.

FLOOD RISK & STORM DAMAGE.
It is worth noting that due to the proximity of the chalets to the sea, they have, in the past, been affected by storm damage in severe weather/tidal conditions. Contact the office for further information and we ask that buyers make their own investigations into the long term risk.
