Nestled in a scenic location overlooking the Sid Valley, this Grade II listed property exudes potential for renovation and investment. Dating back to the 19th century, the house showcases a unique 'cottage ornee' architectural style, which is characteristic of the Sidmouth area. This home has remained within the same family for nearly six decades and now presents an opportunity for modernisation throughout. The thatched roof was recently replaced in 2021/22, providing a solid basis for further improvements.
Inside, you are welcomed by a distinctive cross-shaped reception hall featuring a central gallery. The spacious sitting and dining rooms both offer fireplaces and access to an expansive terrace and verandah through French doors. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with an oil-fired AGA and includes a convenient walk-in pantry, while the conservatory opens up to the terrace as well.
The upper floor hosts four bedrooms including a principal suite with an en suite dressing area, along with two bathrooms enhancing functionality for family living. A self-contained annex provides further versatility for guests or potentially rental income.
The extensive garden features ornamental shrubs, fruit trees, and areas ready for cultivation, including a vegetable patch and former tennis court. There’s also ample parking space available along with stabling facilities that could attract equestrian enthusiasts.
Considering its proximity to Sidmouth's charming town centre, known for its Regencystyle architecture and vibrant local amenities, this property represents an exciting opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home or investment project amid delightful surroundings.
