About this property
West Ridge stands in more than 1.5 acres of its own lawns and gardens just a mile or so from the sea at Seaton, set in the midst of the spectacular rural and coastal scenery of East Devon.
From its elevated situation it commands beautiful and extensive views of the Axe Valley and Estuary and the sea itself.
Attached to the owner's main residence, the accommodation comprises a main bedroom (with a Super king-size bed, which can, if preferred, be separated into two single beds); a lounge and a large kitchen/living-room and there is also a shower room with separate toilet.
There is a large garden with a paddock/orchard to the rear. This part of the garden looks to the North over lovely rolling Devon countryside - a particularly attractive and peaceful area. There is an ample supply of garden furniture and level access from the driveway to the entrance of the bungalow.
A variety of shops, pubs and restaurants in this small Devon town are within a few minutes drive. Explore the stunning Axe Estuary and Wetlands, abundant with bird and wildlife, or why not visit the unique Seaton Tramway. The mile long beach is perfect for watersports with sailing, windsurfing and paddle-boarding permanent features in the bay. The picturesque fishing village of Beer, just a five minutes drive, is host to the famous Pecorama and Quarry Caves and self-drive motor boats can be hired from the beach. With the seaside resorts of Lyme Regis and Sidmouth within 15 minutes by car this property is a great base for discovering this recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Seaton is a seaside town in East Devon on the south coast. It faces onto Lyme Bay, to the west of the mouth of the River Axe with red cliffs to one side and white cliffs on the other. Axmouth and Beer are nearby. A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour. Seaton is on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the town offers a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Quiet and relaxing. The bungalow had old fashioned decor but it was very clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and it had everything we needed for our stay. Our dog was very welcome and he loved the garden. We had a great stay and would highly recommend a stay here. The area is just lovely and we found lots of places to walk, taking in the views.

Ideal location for visiting local Devon and Dorset resorts. Hope to book West Ridge Bungalow again next year.

Walking from car park to property could be a problem for people with walking difficulties because of the slope and uneven ground.
