This imposing Grade II listed residence occupies a private position nestled in the valley of Salcombe Regis, just over two miles away from the centre of Sidmouth.
The grand property, named Springcombe, is a historic estate with its roots dating back to 1307. The main house was originally developed in the early 1800s and over the course of time it has been subject to several considered renovations that blend its timeless period charm with contemporary modern comforts. The house has recently undergone a stunning full refurbishment throughout.
Inside, the five double-bedroom house is superbly appointed and there is a sense of grandeur about the place. On the ground floor, there are three well-proportioned reception rooms that face south and have breathtaking views across the manicured gardens and towards the sea. The principal living room has a unique spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine library, while an impressive conservatory with tiled flooring and French doors leads to the rear grounds. The classically designed kitchen has a range of traditional units, wooden work surfaces, several integrated appliances and a dark green Aga that takes centre stage.
On the first floor, there are two generous double bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms, while a further three double bedrooms can be found on the second floor, along with two bathrooms.
Adjoining the main residence is an attached annexe with a modern kitchen, a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace, and a double bedroom with a luxurious ensuite bathroom.
Outside, the estate's gardens are a true highlight showcasing formal landscaped areas with sweeping lawns and a wealth of established shrubs, plants, and trees.
A paved sun terrace offers a perfect vantage point to soak up the sun and take in the views of the sea. There is also an ornamental pond and an orchard with numerous fruit trees.
At the front, the large, paved driveway provides ample space for parking and leads to the former stables which have been repurposed into two carports and a spacious storage room.
