This striking two-bedroom apartment sits in Fortfield Terrace, a Grade II* listed property that has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s.

In its time, the dwelling was accommodated by notable people of distinction, including the Grand Duchess Elena of Russia who lived here in 1831. This was commemorated by a double-headed eagle, the iconic symbol of Imperial Russia, which is still visible on the terrace. The spacious ground-floor apartment occupies a convenient location in Sidmouth and is just a few minutes walk from the Esplanade, seafront and town centre.

Sidmouth Herald: The bright drawing room has a grand Chesney fireplace

The property has been sympathetically refurbished to meet the highest standards of luxury, yet it retains its original charm with a host of impressive elements, including high ceilings adorned with intricate decorative coving, ceiling cornices, picture rails and large original sash windows with shutters. The well-proportioned rooms are bathed in natural light and several benefit from breathtaking sea views.

Inside, the bright drawing room has a grand Chesney fireplace and double doors that lead to a traditional kitchen with quality fitted units, quartz worktops and a solid wood breakfast bar.

From the inner hall, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, one with bespoke fitted wardrobes and an orientation that takes advantage of the sea views and garden vistas. A luxurious family shower room with a double walk-in shower completes the accommodation.

Outside, there is a beautiful walled garden with high walls and several mature trees and bushes. The garden features a level lawn and well-stocked borders containing numerous ornamental shrubs. A gate in the rear wall opens onto a footpath, leading to Station Road.
