Sidmouth Herald: There is a traditionally styled kitchen/breakfast room

Inside, the house is light, airy and presented in superb decorative order. The bright sitting room has a triple aspect, a handsome fireplace, a door that opens to the sun terrace and an excellent view of the rooftops and East Hill. The traditionally styled kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with wooden units, polished granite-effect worktops and a matching breakfast bar. The adjoining dining room is well-proportioned and has a bright southerly aspect. Two double bedrooms can be found on the ground floor and a modern family bathroom suite.

On the first floor, there is access to a walk-in loft area and the principal bedroom suite which has a high-quality ensuite shower room.

Outside, the garden is a particular highlight of this property having been carefully landscaped to provide colour and interest. The large plot includes a generous area of lawn, a variety of professionally pruned fruit trees, some ornamental shrubs, feature plants and tree borders. Paved pathways lead to a level garden that is laid with gravel creating an ideal environment for potted plants. There is also a private paved sun terrace that benefits from a southerly aspect and views of the surrounding countryside.

The property is accessed via a long resin-based driveway providing ample parking space and leading to the attached garage.
