Situation - Occupying a beautifully elevated position with views towards the sea, offering tranquillity while remaining close to the vibrant heart of Sidmouth.
Sidmouth, noted for its long esplanade, beaches and public gardens, has a range of quality shops and amenities, as well as recreational facilities including swimming pool, sailing club, cricket, tennis and croquet clubs, and a popular golf course. The popular coastal villages of Branscombe and Beer are located towards the east, whilst the coastline has been awarded international recognition as a World Heritage Site noted for its geological interest and dramatic cliffs and beaches.
Description - Designed by the renowned local architect R.W. Sampson, the property has been extensively improved and refurbished by the current owners and now offers well presented, light filled accommodation arranged over two floors. Period features have been retained and complemented by high quality contemporary finishes throughout.
The accommodation is approached via a spacious reception hall, from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. These include a sitting room with feature fireplace and woodburning stove, a family room with bay window and fireplace, and a study. The kitchen/dining room is a particularly attractive space, fitted with a range of units incorporating integrated appliances, stone work surfaces and a breakfast bar. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor space. A useful walk through utility room adjoins the kitchen and leads to a conservatory enjoying a southerly aspect and views over the gardens.
On the first floor, a galleried landing gives access to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys far reaching views towards the sea and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A guest bedroom has direct access onto a generous wrap around decked terrace overlooking the gardens, whilst a further dual aspect bedroom features a Juliet balcony. Several of the bedrooms enjoy attractive views across the surrounding valley and coastline.
Outside - The property is approached via a private brick paved driveway leading to a generous parking area providing space for multiple vehicles. The front garden is principally laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs, trees and planting, creating an attractive approach. Steps rise to the house, where further parking for two vehicles are available, with additional access from the adjoining cul-de-sac.
To one side of the property is a paved seating terrace adjoining the conservatory, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a good degree of privacy, with established planting and mature boundaries. A substantial first floor decked terrace, accessed from both the landing and one of the bedrooms, provides an excellent space for entertaining and outdoor seating, whilst taking full advantage of views across the gardens and surrounding landscape.
