description: Maer Cross is located in arguably one of the best locations in Exmouth, situated just behind The Maer and only a stones throw from Exmouth Beach. This late nineteenth century semi-detached family house has the benefit of a separate two bedroom annexe with it's own private garden, generating a healthy income. Forming one half of what was originally a house believed to have been constructed for a ships captain, the property retains a number of period features and has wonderful green open space views as well as sea views towards Berry Head. A viewing is thoroughly recommended to appreciate the size of accommodation & location Maer Cross has to offer.

Location: The property is situated within a 1 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk of Michael Caines beach bar and restaurant - Mickey's and 15 minutes walk to Exmouth Marina. Exmouth Beach itself has over three miles of glorious golden sands, Exmouth is renowned nationally as a regional centre for water sports activities - especially kitesurfing, sailing & windsurfing. Exmouth is a bustling town with a vibrant shopping centre that also hosts a wide range of leisure and entertainment facilities, including a cinema, sports amenities, M&S food hall, and a range of excellent restaurants.
