Property for sale in Sidmouth: Large three bedroom house

It is believed that the detached house was constructed in the 1860s as part of the well-known Balfour Estate and, today, the property retains many of its original period features including ornate gable trims, moulded ceiling cornices and high ceilings adding to its charm and character.

The period property, named Knowle Cottage, has been subject to various enhancements in recent years including the installation of a superb garden room with a vaulted ceiling, electric Velux windows and French doors that open onto a west-facing terrace.

On the ground floor, the sitting room has a dual aspect, a focal fireplace and an archway that connects to a good-size dining room. The kitchen has a classic style with an extensive range of white units, moulded worksurfaces and several integrated appliances.

On the first floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms, each with high ceilings and picture rails, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a lovely southerly aspect, providing glimpses of the sea, along with views towards Muttersmoor. It also benefits from having an ensuite shower room.

Outside, the gardens provide a high degree of privacy and a wealth of interest, including a large Victorian timber greenhouse, for the keen gardener. The outside space on the eastern side of the house has areas of lawn, numerous fruit trees, a pond with a water feature and paved seating areas picking up the morning and early afternoon sunshine. Further areas of lawn wrap around the house along with well-stocked shrub borders, productive vegetable areas and at the rear, there is a raised terrace.

At the front, there is a paviour driveway providing ample space for parking and giving access to a detached double garage.
