About this property

This three-storey, Victorian terrace house sits on a residential street right next to the beach, in the heart of Exmouth, Devon. Benefitting from private beach access and uninterrupted sea views, Driftwood is an excellent choice for a family of five and their canine companion looking to spend some time exploring the beauty of Devon. Internally, the ground-floor features an open-plan living space hosting all the amenities for a week-away; take over the kitchen and start preparing a delicious home-cooked feast, making use of a range of appliances, before gathering at the dining table and indulging in a feast. Afterwards, head to the sofa and binge watch your favourite shows from the Smart TV, or take the evening outside and enjoy a drink from the enclosed garden. At the rear of the garden is your own private access to the beach, so you’ll hardly have to leave the house before dipping your toes in the sand! The first flight of stairs leads to the bathroom with bath and shower over, whilst there are also three bedrooms, including a four-poster double bedroom and then a twin and double which can be combined to make a family suite or closed off separately. The second floor plays host to two more doubles, one which enjoys an en-suite shower whilst the other features sliding French doors to a private balcony with bistro table and chairs. Within a short walk there is a plethora of independent shops selling gifts to take back home, restaurants and pubs for when you fancy eating out and a cinema and theatre for some evening entertainment. Those looking to get their steps in can lace up their boots and ramble up to 26 miles along the Exe Cycle trail linking Lympstone with Exeter, Exmouth, Topsham and Dawlish as well as the South West Coastal Path which is the longest National Trail in the country. Further along, the city attractions of Exeter await, including its stunning cathedral and quay which make for an excellent day out, whilst the World of Country Life and Crealy Theme Park are both great choices for family adventure. If you are seeking a substantial home right next to the beach, look no further than Driftwood.

Exmouth, which is located on the eastern side of the River Exe estuary, contains all a traveller needs for a leisurely getaway. A flourishing coastal town with miles of sand beaches nearby, excellent coastal walking, everything for fishermen and sailors, proximity to Exeter, and a wealth of things to do and see all add to the town's appeal. The Crealy Park theme park, Bicton Park stately home and gardens, the Donkey Sanctuary at nearby Sidmouth, Woodbury Common, the cathedral city of Exeter, the Sandy Bay World of Country Life, and the endlessly captivating Jurassic Coast with its famous fossil deposits stretching eastward into Dorset are all options in addition to messing around on boats, relaxing on the beach, taking the ferry up the estuary, or visiting Dawlish Warren nature reserve. Exmouth has some of the best tourist attractions and a seaside lifestyle around.

    Beautiful views of the river exe from the back garden. The house itself has everything required for a large family stay. 5 Stars.

  • Philip

    It suited our large family group perfectly. The only minor downside was the limited parking. We were in Exmouth for a multi-family event in Budleigh and would certainly re-book if happened there again in the future.

    We had a long weekend at driftwood with 9 of us staying , the house had ample room for us all and the views with a cup of coffee in the back yard in the mornings were amazing , the house its self is well maintained and clean , a short walk to everything you need either into town for supplies or through the marina to the large beach area many thanks to the owners
