Description

This spacious four to five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow is situated on the gently sloping lower reaches of Salcombe Hill, offering a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. While the property does require modernization throughout, it boasts a desirable westerly aspect that captures views towards Muttersmoor and, from the upper floor, glimpses of the sea and Higher Peak. The generous grounds extend to approximately a third of an acre, primarily oriented to the south and west. The outdoor space features established gardens with mature shrubs and trees, alongside paved areas and pathways that enhance its charm. A brick-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to a single detached garage, adding further convenience. Inside, the layout primarily unfolds on the ground floor. A conservatory entrance welcomes you with sliding patio doors framing natural light. This leads into an original reception hall adorned with oak paneling, classic herringbone parquet flooring, and an inviting fireplace equipped with a gas fire. The dual-aspect sitting room features large windows with a window seat that invites relaxation while enjoying the surroundings. The kitchen/breakfast room offers potential for updates while currently providing functional storage solutions along with space for appliances. A fitted Belling 'Range Style' cooker adds character to this area, which also includes a walk-in pantry. An inner hall connects to practical amenities such as a shower room and separate cloakroom; both spaces are in need of refurbishment but offer great potential. The property accommodates three good-sized bedrooms on the ground floor, including one with dual aspects that overlook the gardens onto High Peak and Muttersmoor. Two of these bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes for added convenience. There is also a family bathroom equipped with essential fixtures and tiling that could be enhanced through modern updates. Ascending to the upper floor reveals two additional bedrooms; one presents lovely views over the valley towards the sea and Muttersmoor while benefitting from fitted cupboards. This level allows further exploration of loft space, offering additional possibilities for expansion or storage. In terms of location benefits, this corner plot lies within one of Sidmouth's most sought-after residential areas on Hillside Road. Its elevated position provides proximity to local amenities while remaining within walking distance of scenic routes along the South West Coastal Path, leading directly to Sidmouth's esplanade and seafront. Overall, while the property may need some modern touches, its excellent location coupled with extensive outdoor space presents significant potential for those looking to invest in renovations or create their ideal home in this picturesque area.
