The development features excellent communal facilities including a homeowner’s lounge, restaurant with a fantastic, varied, daily table-service lunch, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens backing with views to the coast. The fantastic roof terrace with furniture proves a very popular meeting point in favourable weather and from which panoramic views are enjoyed. There is a path from the development leading down to Exmouth cricket ground and the sandy beach.

The Local Area - Exmouth is a lively port town and seaside resort, situated on the east coast of Devon, where the River Exe meets the sea. As well as a harbour, it boasts two miles of golden sandy beaches and is the gateway to the breath-taking Jurassic coast. The area offers plenty of opportunities to get out into the great outdoors, with abundant cycling and walking trails nearby, including the spectacular South West Coastal path. Exmouth is a wildlife hotspot with thousands of birds spending winter on the estuary at Exmouth Nature Reserve. As well as a range of pubs and eateries, historic Exmouth has an indoor market, plenty of shopping opportunities and a Blue Plaque heritage trail. There are festivals aplenty too, with the annual Exmouth Festival of arts and music, the Kite Festival in August and, for seafood lovers, the Spirit of the Exe and Exmouth Mussel Festival in September. Travelling further afield couldn’t be easier either. Exmouth Train Station is in the centre of the town and you can be in London Paddington in around three and a half hours. By road, Exmouth is only 8 miles from the M5 and 11 miles from Exeter, which has an international airport.
