SITUATION This unique site for a self build is set along a quiet country lane ending in a footpath, within the Blackdown Hills National Landscape offering a south facing position over looking its own land. The village of All Saints is well regarded locally and provides a primary school, community hall, church, with a public house at nearby Smallridge.
The traditional market town of Axminster lies approximately 2 miles to the south offering independent shops, supermarkets and a mainline train to London Waterloo. While the Jurassic Coast and coastal towns such as Lyme Regis, Seaton, and Sidmouth are an easy drive. Well-regarded schools, including Colyton Grammar School, and the A303 at Ilminster are also within easy reach.
