Nestled on the lower slopes of Salcombe Hill, this substantial detached residence is set within approximately three-quarters of an acre, providing a spacious canvas for renovation and development. The property boasts a desirable south-west aspect with picturesque views over the valley, enhancing its investment appeal. Upon entry, you'll find a grand front door leading to an expansive reception area characterized by parquet flooring and a prominent staircase. The layout features three generously sized reception rooms, including a sitting room with a Minster stone fireplace and direct access to a garden room. The study/family room offers dual aspects and connects well to outdoor spaces, while the dining room opens up to the garden via sliding doors.
The kitchen presents adequate storage options but is in need of modernisation; it contains a split-level double oven and gas hob along with an original walk-in larder. Upstairs, the galleried landing allows natural light to flood in through a large picture window and leads to four bedrooms, three of which are spacious doubles with views and one that includes an en-suite bathroom. Further potential lies within the loft space accessible from the landing, ideal for conversion (subject to consents).
Having been owned by the same family for many years, this property requires general modernisation but represents a rare opportunity in this sought-after location. Given its expansive grounds, there may also be scope for constructing an additional dwelling (also subject to planning permissions). The outdoor area is beautifully landscaped with lawns, shrub borders, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens complemented by paved terraces ideal for enjoying the scenic outlook.
Conveniently situated near Sidmouth's amenities including shops, restaurants, and coastal paths, this home's location adds significant value. It is equipped with mains gas, electricity, water, and drainage services as well as excellent broadband options available locally.
