SITUATION
Uppacott is situated in an elevated yet sheltered location within 11 acres enjoying panoramic far reaching views southwards of the Axe Estuary and the sea at Seaton.

The renowned Colyton Grammar School is situated nearby on the outskirts of the country village of Colyford with its well stocked stores/post office with butchers and two public houses.
The market town of Axminster is approximately 5.5 miles to the north-east and has a good variety of shops, schools and leisure facilities with a main line rail link to London Waterloo. Beer is located approximately 2 miles away and is a highly desirable village located on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, midway between Lyme Regis and Sidmouth, and has stunning cove and pebbled beach which are dominated by its towering chalk cliffs. It plays host to an excellent village shop, restaurants, public houses, post office, galleries, primary school and sailing club. Lyme Regis is approximately 7 miles to the east and has an extensive range of independent shops and boutiques and is famous for its historical harbour and Cobb. There are also many recreational and sporting
facilities nearby which include a sailing, tennis, cricket and bowls clubs, sea fishing, and a well-respected golf course. The Cathedral City of Exeter lies about 24 miles away to the west and has excellent shopping, theatres, art centre, main line express rail link to London Paddington and an international airport, together with M5 access.
