Property description
A most attractive and interesting three bedroom Grade II Listed barn conversion with parking, garage, well presented garden and situated on the outskirts of Sidmouth.
This well presented three bedroom property forms part of a small complex which is situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Sidmouth. Bowd Farm and adjoining barns were converted in the mid-1970s and comprise a number of different styles and types of property. The immediate surroundings provide some delightful walks over the surrounding countryside, which includes a footpath which was the old Railway line leading to Tipton St John and Harpford.
Sidmouth town centre, which offers an excellent range of amenities and of course the seafront, is approximately two miles distant and the popular Waitrose Supermarket is within a short drive. Also nearby there is a regular bus service along the A3052 (Exeter-Lyme Regis road).
The house offers well presented accommodation and retains much character and charm, with a number of the rooms offering exposed timber beams. The lounge/dining room is very well proportioned and has a feature fireplace with a wood burning stove and there are French doors leading into the garden. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room is attractively fitted and has a built in oven, hob, cooker hood and dishwasher. The ground floor also offers a useful cloaks/utility area and to the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom which is fitted with an attractive white suite.
The garden is beautifully maintained and has been laid with an eye for ease of maintenance. There is also a single garage situated in a nearby block, as well as an allocated parking space for this property.
