This attractive link-detached residence occupies a plot of around a quarter of an acre in a quiet position bordering the Bickwell Valley conservation area and is about three quarters of a mile away from Sidmouth’s town centre and long seafront.
It is understood that the origins of the three-bedroom property date back to the early 19th century when the building was associated with The Knowle and at one time served as a laundry to the hotel. Subsequently converted into a private residence, the house today provides spacious and characterful accommodation.
Beyond the entrance hallway, there is access to a partially converted garage, providing space for storage and a study with fitted furniture. The sitting room is dual aspect and features an impressive fireplace with a gas flame stove and an oak mantle, while the separate dining room has glazed doors that open to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has a traditional look with a wide range of units, good quality worksurfaces and several integrated appliances. Doors lead to a long garden room with underfloor heating and stunning views of Bickwell Valley and across to Muttersmoor and down to the sea.
On the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes and views of Manor Park and across to Muttersmoor. The room also benefits from an ensuite shower room.
Outside, the rear garden benefits from a favourable south-westerly aspect and has been landscaped with a large lawn and beautifully-stocked borders filled with an abundance of mature shrubs and plants. The raised patio is a wonderful spot to soak up the sun and the feature pond adds an extra level of interest. There is a separate vegetable garden with a lawn, vegetable plots, a timber garden shed and a secluded patio with fabulous views.
At the front, large timber gates open to a stone block paved driveway that provides enough parking space for at least two cars.
