This handsome, detached residence occupies an elevated position on the eastern side of Sidmouth and has splendid views of the coast and surrounding countryside.

It is understood the unique six-bedroom property was designed by the well-known architect RW Sampson and built in the early 1900s. Over the years parts of the house have been well maintained and there is scope for modernisation to create a dream home should the need arise.

The main drawing room is well-proportioned and has a lovely bay window

The three-storey house makes quite the first impression with its bright and spacious reception hall that leads to all the main rooms. The drawing room is large and well-proportioned and features a charming bay window and a Minster fireplace. There is a separate dining room with a dual aspect that draws in natural light.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has timber work surfaces, ample space for appliances and a handy central island. A part-glazed door opens to the rear garden, giving easy access for outdoor dining.

The gardens are well maintained

On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a bay window with striking coastal views beyond, fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The second main bedroom also has coastal views and a balcony with timber railings.

A further two bedrooms can be found on the second floor, along with a second lounge/kitchen and a bathroom, giving flexible accommodation options and the potential to create a self-contained living area.

Outside, the overall grounds extend to just over 0.787 acres. The rear garden has been beautifully maintained and landscaped, featuring a large expanse of lawn, mature trees and shrubs and a delightful fishpond at the bottom. The outside garden room is a bonus and works well as a family room or studio.

A carriageway driveway leads to the front of the property, where there is ample parking space and an attached double garage.
