Leabenara is a pleasantly furnished detached two-bedroom chalet located on a small, exclusive chalet site just over a mile from the beach, set in the Victorian town of Seaton on the mouth of the River Axe with a beautiful beach. The chalet park is set on top of Seaton Down Hill with lovely views and is tucked away just below the water tower.
This retro single-storey holiday home might be described as looking old fashioned but this is part of the charm of it and it is an ideal place for a family holiday or for friends to get together. There are two bedrooms, one double and one room with 2 ft 6in twin beds. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower over the bath, toilet and wash basin. The open plan living area is comfortably furnished with two sofas, a Freeview TV and a table and chairs. The kitchen is equipped with an electric cooker, ¾ sized fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster. The decked area at the front of the chalet with a picnic table is a great space to sit in the sun with a refreshing beverage.
There is a petrol station on the site with a shop for essentials . Just a 5-minute drive away is the friendly, coastal resort of Seaton tucked away in a corner of East Devon in the unspoilt Axe Valley, with its one-mile long beach; excellent for water-sports including sailing, swimming, diving and windsurfing. Seaton’s unique tramway runs inland, along the Axe Estuary to the medieval market town of Colyton, and is perfect for birdwatchers, transport enthusiasts and those who simply want to watch the beautiful riverside scenery glide by. Next to the tramway is the Seaton Marshes Nature Reserve. The installation of a viewing hide and wheelchair friendly paths means this beautiful area and its wildlife, such as wildfowl and wading birds in winter, and dragonflies and butterflies in summer, are easily accessible all year round.
A bit further away is the Jurassic Coast, where you can take in Sidmouth, Beer, Branscombe and Lyme Regis. Exeter with its stunning cathedral is just 15 miles away, and Dorset with its beaches is within easy driving distance. Whatever your plans for your trip to Seaton, this lovely holiday home is the perfect base to use for exploring the coast and countryside.
