The property
Axminster 1.8 miles. The Sundowner is a beautifully presented single-storey holiday home located in the peaceful hamlet of Wyke, near Axminster. One of three charming cottages in this idyllic rural setting, it offers a tranquil escape on the borders of Devon, Somerset, and Dorset; perfectly placed for exploring the best of all three counties and the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast.
Inside, the property is warm, welcoming, and full of character. The open-plan living area is a standout feature, with an exposed stone wall, a cosy wood burner, and a Smart TV, ideal for relaxing evenings in. Stylish décor and thoughtful personal touches throughout create a homely yet elegant atmosphere. The well-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes easy to cater for, with everything you need including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, and fridge freezer. A dining area sits conveniently opposite, perfect for enjoying meals together.
The Sundowner offers two beautifully styled bedrooms: a super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a twin on request), and a comfortable king-size room. Both share a sleek, contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower and WC.
