Hillcot, Higher Meadows, Beer, EX12 3EZ

Charming detached and well presented 1920's three bedroom house set in an elevated position with outstanding sea views in the idyllic coastal village of Beer.

The Property: Hillcott is a delightful double-fronted detached house, set in an elevated position within the highly sought-after village of Beer.

Enjoying breathtaking countryside and sea views, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in a truly exceptional setting.

Thought to date from the 1920s, the house retains a wealth of original features, while providing well-proportioned accommodation throughout.

The property occupies a tucked-away position with minimal passing traffic, yet remains within easy reach of the village centre, shops, church and beach.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and the addition of solar panels.

A welcoming entrance is provided via a uPVC porch with twin opening doors, leading through to a part-glazed front door and into the entrance hall with exposed wooden floorboards and staircase rising to the first floor.

To the front of the property, the living room is a particularly light room, enjoying a double aspect with a large bay window framing delightful views over Beer towards the sea, cliffs and surrounding countryside.

The room is centred around a decorative brick fireplace, adding to its charm.

Also positioned to the front, the dining room forms part of the open-plan kitchen/dining room, again benefitting from a bay window capturing the same fine outlook.

This is a bright and inviting space, with ample room for a dining table and retaining attractive wooden floorboards and a feature fireplace.

An open archway leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching wooden base and wall units with complementary work surfaces.

Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, alongside an electric oven and hob with extractor above.

Windows to the rear provide a pleasant outlook, and there is useful understairs storage.

A door from the kitchen leads into a practical utility room, offering space and plumbing for additional appliances, together with a further sink and direct access to the rear garden.

A separate cloakroom with WC is also accessed from here. Stairs rise to the first floor, where three well-proportioned bedrooms are found.

Two bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, both enjoying the same elevated and far-reaching views across the village towards the sea and surrounding coastline.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from an en suite shower room.

A family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite including bath with shower over, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside: The property is approached via Higher Meadows to a parking bay positioned directly in front of the house, together with additional block-paved parking to one side, providing space for several vehicles, a rare and highly sought-after feature within the village of Beer.

A pedestrian gate to one side opens to steps ascending alongside the property, leading to a series of beautifully arranged terraced garden areas.

Directly in front of the property there is an extensive paved terrace enclosed by attractive railings and flowing through to a substantial paved terrace.

This impressive space provides an exceptional area for outdoor seating and dining, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking panoramic views across Beer, the surrounding countryside and towards the sea and coastline beyond.

A side gate provides access through to the rear of the property, where a further paved seating area adjoins the house, complete with water tap.

Steps rise to an additional enclosed terrace, again enjoying delightful sea views, creating a more private and sheltered outdoor space.

The garden continues to ascend in a series of thoughtfully designed levels, offering a variety of seating areas at each stage.

These elevated terraces enjoy increasingly impressive vistas, taking in the cliffs, beach and the village below, with far-reaching views stretching across the sea and surrounding hillsides.

Timber steps lead to the uppermost section of the garden, which has been attractively arranged with further decking, a substantial shed and a summer house.

Positioned at this highest point, this area enjoys truly spectacular, uninterrupted views across Beer, the coastline and out to sea, as well as inland towards the surrounding countryside, making this an outstanding vantage point.

A pedestrian gate at the top of the garden provides access to a footpath connecting to the surrounding area.
