This historic four-bedroom seafront house presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment, combining coastal charm with significant potential for modernization. Set at the western end of Sidmouth's esplanade, the property boasts stunning views of the sea and coastline, and offers rare off-road parking—an asset in this desirable location.
The Grade II Listed structure features accommodation spread over three floors where many original details remain intact, awaiting a creative touch to revive its character. A welcoming entrance porch leads to a reception hall with a staircase to the upper levels, alongside a convenient cloaks/WC. The ground floor includes a spacious living room that was likely the original dining area, highlighted by panoramic views and a central fireplace fitted with a gas fire. A separate dining room also enjoys south-facing views and provides access to a kitchen featuring essential amenities such as a Belfast sink and storage space, alongside an adjoining walk-in larder.
On the first floor, two bedrooms offer ample space; one originally served as the sitting room with high ceilings and striking triple aspects that frame impressive views. The second bedroom has built-in storage, while an adjoining dressing room contains a small shower unit and connects to the main bathroom equipped with standard fittings.
The upper level holds two smaller rooms previously used as servant’s quarters. Both have certain limitations in headroom but retain unique character and functional storage options.
Outside, the property features a paved garden area on its southern side, complemented by wooden gates that provide access to the parking space—a rarity in this region.
Located just minutes from Sidmouth's bustling town center, residents will find an array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, cultural venues including a theatre and cinema, as well as essential supermarkets like Waitrose and Lidl. This centrality not only enhances lifestyle convenience but also contributes to the property's attractiveness as an investment for future rental or resale opportunities.
All essential services—including mains gas, electricity, water, and drainage—are connected. The availability of standard and superfast broadband further positions this home well for modern living needs.
With vacant possession upon completion and significant scope for enhancement throughout, this property represents an appealing project for those looking to invest in a prime coastal location full of potential.
