Description

This end-of-terrace, bay-fronted house dates back to the early 1900s and is situated in a desirable area that overlooks local allotments and The Byes. After being held by the same family for approximately forty years, this property presents an opportunity for renovation and investment, with no ongoing chain complicating the sale. The home features gas central heating, but it is clear that some modernization and refurbishment are needed throughout. Upon entering, you will find an entrance hallway that leads into a sitting room with a charming bay window offering views of the allotments and The Byes. Adjacent to this space is a separate dining room that flows into the kitchen, which includes fitted units along with space designated for appliances like a cooker and refrigerator. A covered side return enhances practicality by providing additional utility space as well as a WC and rear access. On the first floor, there’s a spacious main bedroom featuring another front-facing bay window with attractive views over the surrounding landscape. A second double bedroom is also located on this level, accompanied by a bathroom and separate WC. Externally, the property boasts a low-maintenance gravel garden at the front, while at the rear you’ll find a west-facing patio garden complete with a brick shed—ideal for further development or landscaping. In terms of location, this house stands out due to its proximity to The Byes and River Sid, allowing quick access to picturesque walking paths leading into the town center. Local amenities include regular bus services on Temple Street, as well as convenient access to shops like Spar and popular establishments such as the Volunteer Inn. The vibrant town center and seafront are just over half a mile away. Sidmouth itself offers an array of amenities from independent shops to larger retail options such as Waitrose and Lidl, alongside recreational facilities including a cinema, theatre, swimming pool, and golf course. While currently requiring updates to reach its full potential, this property holds promise for those looking to invest in a home that can be tailored to individual tastes within one of Devon's most appealing coastal towns.
