Property description
Delightful, period 4 bedroom property situated in a tucked away location with fantastic views over the village of Beer towards the sea.
Location:
Beer is a highly sought after fishing village situated on the Jurassic Coast. A crystal clear brook runs down the main street to the pebble beach with its colourful fishing boats. The quaint village centre has various eateries, galleries, shops, gardens, primary school and local attraction 'Pecorama' with its steam trains. Close by are delightful coastal and country walks, including cliff-top walks to Seaton Hole and Branscombe.

Continue along Fore Street and turn right before the Dolphin Hotel into Clapps Lane. Just beyond the cemetery on your right hand side, turn immediately left. Do not turn immediate left into Higher Meadow, instead proceed straight up this hill and you will see the sign 'Lanehead'. Keep left of this sign and you will see a row of garages on your right. The pedestrian gate to 'Lilacs' and the entrance drive to the parking area will be seen immediately opposite on your left
