This unique, two-bedroom property occupies a position in a small select development on the northern edge of Sidford and Sidmouth and has a pleasant outlook of open fields and the Sid Valley.

The property for sale is the first to come to market in the development, which has been thoughtfully planned to make the most of the inherent character of this brick-built building which was a former Victorian steam laundry.

The building has been converted to create three high-quality homes by local craftspeople who have retained and enhanced its original charm and features. The houses have been designed and specified for an A rating of energy efficiency, with air-source heat pumps for hot water and underfloor heating, and they also benefit from a 10-year new home warranty.

Inside the property for sale, the accommodation is laid out over two floors, with a third mezzanine level in the centre of the building. The layout makes the most of the wonderful light and character within the original building.

On the ground floor, the large entrance hallway leads to a contemporary kitchen/dining room with dark, stylish units, contrasting work surfaces and several integrated appliances including a Bosch oven and induction hob. From here, French doors open to the rear terrace outside. Also on this level, is a double bedroom with herringbone effect flooring and a well-appointed ensuite shower room.

On the first floor, there is an open-plan living area with vaulted timber ceilings, expansive roof lights, exposed original steelwork and engineered oak flooring. A fitted bookcase with a library-style ladder gives access to a mezzanine floor and storage area. There is a family bathroom with LED lighting and two good-size bedrooms, one with fitted cupboards.

Outside, there is a large, enclosed terrace paved with sandstone tiles, raised beds, and steps that lead up to a gravel parking area, which is lit by a beautiful original Victorian streetlight.
