This historic Regency property, dating back to the early 19th century, is nestled on a hillside with picturesque views of Budleigh Salterton and Lyme Bay. While it currently requires modernization, this four-bedroom home presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation, allowing new owners to blend contemporary comforts with its charming period features. The property boasts original elements such as large doors, sash windows with louvred shutters, an enchanting conservatory, and intricate cornicing that can be restored to enhance its character.
The ground floor layout includes an inviting reception area leading to generously sized living spaces—a drawing room and a versatile living room or study—both featuring open fireplaces and expansive sash windows that frame the beautiful gardens. Additionally, the dining room benefits from a bay window that adds both space and light. A functional kitchen, cloakroom with separate WC, and a larder complete this level.
On the first floor, a spacious principal bedroom suite offers an en-suite bathroom along with a dedicated dressing room. Three additional bedrooms are located on this level, conveniently serviced by a family bathroom and another separate WC. The second floor presents two more rooms that could potentially be transformed into additional bedrooms, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions—a possibility reinforced by local precedents. Furthermore, the basement holds promise for expansion into extra living space or even a self-contained annex with rear access (pending approval).
Situated on Upper West Terrace—a prestigious street within a conservation area—the property is only moments from the town center and the stunning beach along the World Heritage-designated Jurassic Coast. The approach includes a driveway providing parking near a detached garage and store room. Stone steps lead up to the home set in mature, enclosed gardens, while the conservatory enjoys ample sunlight throughout the day. An additional walled garden at the rear enhances outdoor living options.
As a Grade II* listed residence offered freehold by private treaty, this property has mains gas, drainage, water, and electricity services available along with gas-fired central heating. It represents not just a home but also an investment opportunity ripe for personalization and enhancement in one of Devon's sought-after locations. Council Tax Band G applies here under East Devon District Council jurisdiction.
