Living here changes you. You’ll start wearing beanie hats in autumn. You’ll buy a secondhand surfboard “just in case.” You’ll learn the tide times. You’ll become that friend who sends beach photos to your city mates with the caption “Wish you were here.” Mean, but fun.
Exeter Road, Braunton - Phillips Smith and Dunn
And the food scene? There’s a bakery that does pasties so good, you’ll question every pasty you’ve ever eaten. The local fish and chip shop is legendary. Your waistline will be mildly annoyed. Your taste buds will not.
So, Should You Pick Up the Phone?
Look, I’m not your financial advisor. But if you’ve been scrolling through Rightmove with one eye closed, this is a sign. Call Phillips, Smith & Dunn. Ask for a viewing. Walk through the door. Smell the fresh air (or the fresh paint—same vibe).
Braunton isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to happen. And with houses dropping onto the market like ripe plums, now’s the time.
What’s the worst that could happen? You fall in love, make an offer, and spend weekends debating which shade of Farrow & Ball says “I live near the beach” without screaming it. Win-win.
Go on. You deserve a house with a door that doesn’t stick. And maybe a view that makes your Instagram followers jealous. Phillips, Smith & Dunn are waiting. Your future seaside self is already packing.
