This spacious detached chalet bungalow occupies an elevated position on a corner plot within one of Sidmouth's most sought-after residential areas.

The property, named Blue Haze, is located on the lower slopes of Salcombe Hill yet is at the top of Hillside Road on the eastern side of the town centre and is within a short walk of the coastal path which leads directly to the esplanade and seafront.

Sidmouth Herald: The original reception hall has oak panelling and herringbone parquet flooring

The four/five-bedroom house has views that face west towards Muttersmoor and from the first floor, there is a striking view of the sea and High Peak.

Inside, the property offers a wealth of opportunities to enhance it and restore it back to its former glory. The original reception hall is a striking space with beautiful oak panelling, a studded front door, herringbone parquet flooring and an ornate fireplace. This leads to a dual-aspect sitting room with a large window seat and a minster fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is a good-sized space in need of modernisation. Currently, there is a fitted Belling Range-style cooker and a handy walk-in pantry.

Sidmouth Herald: The gardens face south and west

Three good-sized bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, along with a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The main bedroom has a dual aspect with views of High Peak and Muttersmoor.

On the upper floor, there are two further bedrooms with fitted cupboards.

Outside, the private grounds extend to around a third of an acre and are mainly laid to lawn, with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees. The gardens face south and west so, in good weather, benefit from a high degree of sunshine.

Adjoining the rear of the property is a brick paviour driveway providing ample parking space and giving access to a single detached garage.
