Sidmouth, EX10

This beautifully appointed detached residence has been the subject of extensive refurbishment and renovation to an extremely high standard throughout. Located within walking distance of the town centre and seafront with plenty of off-road parking, outbuildings, and beautiful grounds of approximately half an acre.

Higher Manor Cottage is a most attractive, detached double-fronted Victorian residence which offers a handsome, symmetrical façade with part tile hung and brick elevations, original box bay windows, feature first-floor windows, alongside decorative woodwork to the porch, bays and gables ensuring the period age of this property has been retained. The interior of the property has been completely redesigned and extended to create an impressive blend of traditional and contemporary accommodation, with attention to detail throughout.

The property is accessed via an attractive porch with original inner wooden doors and wide stairs leading to the first floor with a door off to the living area and an oak-beamed opening into the dining room. The living room has a central double-sided log burner leading into the snug, creating superb areas to relax. The dining area enjoys a dual aspect, looking across the lawns with a feature fireplace and a wide opening leading through to the kitchen. The kitchen area is fitted with streamlined units with quartz worksurfaces and upstands incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, whilst there is an opening to a superb social area with an island and double French doors out to the gardens. A porcelain floor adds to the natural flow throughout the ground floor. There is a rear utility with access to a ground floor cloakroom/WC and a stable door leading into a secure outside area.

From the first-floor landing, there are three double bedrooms. Overlooking the superb gardens are two dual-aspect rooms, with one bedroom benefitting from an ensuite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms are both serviced by a luxurious and spaciously fitted bathroom suite with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower unit, and double sink unit. A fitted wardrobe and vanity desk are in a separate room. The property is particularly private with mature screening of the boundaries and flower beds. There is extensive parking facing a picket fence into a secure area with access to the rear. To the west of the property is a large, gravelled patio area which is accessed via a five-bar gate. There are sweeping lawns, interspersed with a large variety of trees and planting, including a particularly fine Beech with a wooded area to the South of the plot, looking onto the Balfour Estate. There is a further woodland area which would be suitable for a vegetable garden with large timber storage sheds and a path running the length of the boundary. To the East side of the property is a stone-edged pond where the early morning or late evening sun can be enjoyed. In all, the grounds extend to approximately half an acre.
