Property for sale in Sidmouth: Five bedroom chalet-bungalow

The majority of the property has been configured to take full advantage of the southerly aspect and it has stunning views across the Sid Valley.

In recent years, the detached four-bedroom house has been the subject of considerable improvement and has been substantially extended on the ground and first floor to create what is now a very beautiful home.

Inside, the cosy sitting room has a dual aspect, fitted alcoves to one wall and an inset electric fire that creates a focal point. The kitchen/dining/family room is the showstopper of the house, with two sets of sliding patio doors that open onto a large, raised outside terrace. This impressive room has a southerly aspect and is bathed in natural light all day. The kitchen area has a classic look with a range of cream-coloured shaker-style units, solid wood worksurfaces, a large central island, a breakfast bar and a freestanding Rangemaster cooker. Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and French doors that lead onto the terrace, where there are lovely views.

On the first floor, a large landing with two Velux roof windows leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath. The main bedroom on this floor has an ensuite shower room.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked shrub borders and a patio area positioned to pick up the late afternoon/early evening sun.

A raised terrace runs along the full width of the property and is a wonderful spot to take in the views.

At the front, there is an extensive block paviour driveway that leads to the original garage.
