In more detail ....
From the moment you enter the welcoming and light filled hallway you realise this home has been beautifully enhanced by the use of a palette of neutral tones, with continuous new oak laminate flooring throughout the hallway, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, (having the benefit of a soundproof membrane installed beneath), and newly laid carpets to the lounge and bedrooms. The hallway provides a recessed storage cupboard with coat hanging space and houses the electric consumer unit, with a further base cupboard provides storage. On entering the very well-proportioned lounge your eye is immediately drawn to the garden views and sparkle of the sea via the large picture window, with the adjoining balcony providing ample space for a table and chairs to enjoy the sunshine and al fresco dining. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units with white gloss door fronts and complementary ceramic tiled worktop inset with a new stainless steel sink and drainer, together with plumbing for both washing machine and dishwasher (if required). The splash back areas are also tiled. New integrated appliances include an Indesit electric oven, an Indesit electric ceramic hob (there is also a gas point located within a cupboard in the kitchen) with an extractor hood above. An attractive integral circular breakfast table with 2 high stools makes a lovely informal dining area. Bedroom 1 is extremely spacious and has a lovely view across the balcony to the gardens beyond and is fitted with a double wardrobe with hanging space and shelved storage. Bedroom 2 which is a good sized double lies to the rear aspect. Bedroom 3 is currently used as a dining room but would work equally well as a small double bedroom or a study. A recessed cupboard provides storage space and houses a wall mounted Worcester 28si II combination boiler and the water meter. The newly enlarged and redesigned bath/shower room is fitted with a white suite with a P shaped panelled bath with a Triton rain head shower and glass screen, a wash hand basin is inset to a vanity unit with drawers and cupboard below and there is a close coupled wc with hidden cistern, with a further useful wc located separately.

What the owner likes ...
\"This apartment was originally purchased as a letting property, but over time it became a labour of love! My tenant met my daughter, fell in love, and they married this year - I lost a tenant and gained a son-in-law. As a result, my daughter (a designer in her own right) and I, decided to pool our talents (well, hers mostly), and lift this 1960s apartment out of its quiet slumber and bring it smiling into the 21st Century.\"
Bear in mind ....
In addition to the apartment the gardens are possibly the most beautiful in Exmouth. There are lawned areas interspersed with bedding packed with a colourful array of mature shrubs, flowers and ornamental trees.
