Location

Boshill House sits in an elevated position in the broad Axe Valley, north of Axmouth on the Dorset/Devon border, and surrounded by rolling countryside. Axmouth is an attractive small village and harbour suitable for launching and mooring a boat and has a church, pubs, and a yacht club. It is positioned at the upper end of the estuary about half a mile from the sea and the dramatic Jurassic coastline. The South West Coast path, which runs through Axmouth, offers wonderful walks and connects a selection of beaches and picturesque coastal towns.

Lyme Regis, about 5.2 miles to the east, is an historic old town famous for its quaint old buildings, sandy beach, impressive coastal scenery and especially the Cobb, a stunning medieval harbour. A wide range of shops, pubs, cliff top golf courses and restaurants can be found in the local area, such as Hix Oyster and Fish House at Lyme Regis, The River Cottage Kitchen and Deli at Trinity Hill, Mason Arms in Branscombe and The Pig at Combe. Sidmouth, about 11 miles to the west, has a Waitrose supermarket and the nearby Seaton has two convenient supermarkets for everyday essentials.

There is a good selection of primary and secondary schools in the area, including Blundell’s, Millfield, Bryanston, Hazelgrove, and the other side of the estuary is Colyton Grammar School, which was ranked the best performing co-educational secondary school in England in the Department for Education’s 2018 league table.

Communication links are good with the A30 at Honiton providing a link to the A303, or M5 Motorway at Exeter. There are regular train services to London Waterloo from Honiton and Axminster, and Exeter International Airport has a wide selection of UK and international destinations.
