Choices of Devon

It’s difficult to talk about East Devon without mentioning the sea, the spectacular cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and the South West Coast Path passing along its way. From Exmouth to Weymouth the scenery changes as it goes by towns and villages, all with their own characters. Each have their merits and appeal to different people. But East Devon isn’t only about the sea. Behind the coastline is some of the country’s most stunning countryside -rolling hills and amazing views.

The property in East Devon is equally diverse. Historic, cob and thatch cottages and farmhouses mingle with the pale flint stone buildings and modern white rendered homes. The stone from the Beer area has been used far and wide including Exeter Cathedral - softer in colour than the honey coloured stone of Mid Dorset or even the Cotswolds.

Whilst fashions change and people like minimal maintenance the charm of the period properties, their eclectic designs and quirky corners conceived way before planning restrictions are what define the region.

I’ve said it before -Devon is all things to all people. Home is at the heart - “it’s all about coming home”.
