Location

Hillview sits in an elevated position on Stepps Lane, on the south side of the ancient harbour of Axmouth, on the Dorset/Devon border, and surrounded by rolling countryside fields and hills.

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.

Across the estuary is Seaton, located between Axmouth and the white cliffs of Beer. Its mile long beach, part of the Jurassic Coast, opens onto the waters of Lyme Bay. The town itself has many small shops, a local hospital, doctors' surgeries, primary school, bank and building society. Seaton is a popular resort for holiday makers, and boasts a wealth of activities including golf, tennis, bowls and sailing.

Lyme Regis, about 6 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 Axminster, 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 in the top 20 in The Times for secondary schools 2025.

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 daily flights to London City Airport, as well as a wide selection of UK and international destinations.
