Property description
An imposing detached house understood to date from 1930, offering spacious accommodation with potential, having a good size south facing rear garden with sea views, ample parking and garaging, in a most sought after location in Sidmouth.
'Mostyns' is a detached house understood to have been built in 1930 and in the style of a Tudor Manor House. As such there are a number of interesting features throughout the property, which include exposed ceiling beams and timbers, latched timber doors, an imposing Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, and leaded light windows. The accommodation, which would now benefit from modernisation, comprises an entrance vestibule with a cloakroom/WC, a spacious dining hallway with doors onto the rear garden, a double aspect sitting room with aforementioned Inglenook fireplace and a double aspect kitchen/dining room. To the first floor is a master bedroom suite with a dressing area and en-suite shower room, a double aspect second bedroom and finally, a third bedroom and main bathroom.
The property stands on a good size plot in a particularly well sought after area of Sidmouth, with gardens and parking to the front and a south facing lawn garden to the rear, with a gravelled parking area, two single garages and a workshop.
Sidmouth is a popular coastal town in East Devon, offering a broad range of amenities which include a Cottage Hospital, Health Centre, Public Gardens, numerous independent retailers, a Waitrose Supermarket and of course, a glorious shingle beach and Esplanade. There are a number of well respected local Schools, including St Johns International School and Sidmouth College. The Cathedral City of Exeter is sixteen miles to the west, with an International Airport and mainline railway connection to London.
