Sandford Cottage, nestled on Southmoor Farm near the picturesque village of Hawkchurch in South East Devon, offers a serene retreat for two. This charming accommodation is strategically located just five miles from the renowned Lyme Regis and the stunning Jurassic Coast, making it an ideal base for exploring the region. The farm spans approximately 40 acres, predominantly untouched, providing a tranquil environment featuring woodland, meadows, a lake, ponds, and streams. This natural haven is not only a delight for bird watchers but also supports a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers, effectively creating a personal nature reserve for guests to enjoy.
The cottage itself was reconstructed in 1989, preserving its original design with local stone and solid walls, complemented by a low exposed timber-beamed ceiling. Recently, it has undergone a complete interior refurbishment, enhancing its appeal. Inside, the open-plan layout includes a cozy sitting room and kitchen area, equipped with modern amenities such as an oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. The inviting sitting room features a large inglenook fireplace and wood burner, furnished with comfortable seating and a flat-screen television, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Accessed by a carpeted staircase, the bedroom is designed for comfort, featuring a spacious king-size bed, a flat-screen television, and a pine wardrobe, along with additional bedroom furniture. The adjoining fully tiled shower room includes a vanity unit and heated towel rail, ensuring a pleasant stay. The heating system comprises a night storage heater and wood burner, with logs supplied at no extra charge. Electricity is metered, requiring £1 coins for usage. For those interested, there is also an additional property on the farm, Orchard Mews, which can be booked through HomeAway, with a Friday change-over day.
Situated in the rural area of Axminster, Sandford Cottage provides access to various attractions and activities. Guests can explore the natural beauty of the East Devon and Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while cultural highlights include the Marine Theatre and Lyme Regis Museum.
