A superb 3 bedroomed 'seaside' house in an exclusive mews setting near to the beach with a garage, sunny secluded garden and lovely estuary views to the rear.
In more detail ....
This gorgeous mews house has a really lovely atmosphere and is full of warmth and charm and offers surprisingly spacious accommodation. The lady who owned this property lived here happily for 31 years and only left when she could no longer manage independent living and had to move to a nursing home. This home which is presented to an exemplary standard is approached via a wide paved pathway to a double glazed door which opens into a fully double glazed porch with terracotta tiling to the floor and wall mounted outside coach light. A further double glazed door opens into the light filled welcoming hallway which has a deep recessed storage cupboard. The very spacious and beautiful lounge/dining room has stunning estuary views via double glazed patio doors which open onto the rear verandah and garden. This is a room where you can sit and enjoy the southerly aspect and tranquility and gaze out towards the Exe estuary and Haldon Hills. The kitchen has a lovely view across the deep communal garden. It has an excellent range of wall and base units with oak style door fronts. There is an integral 4 ring New World gas hob with Zanussi extractor above and a double eye level Zanussi electric ovens. There are spaces for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer. The ground floor also offers a downstairs wc where there is ample room for cloak hanging space. A staircase rises to a lovely wide first floor landing where access to the partially boarded and insulated loft is provided via a pull down ladder. This may offer further potential for extending (with the necessary planning consents). A recessed storage cupboard houses the hot water tank and provides slatted shelving for linen storage. The main bedroom has wonderful views to the rear via a double glazed window which has been lowered so that you can wake up in the morning and look out towards the Exe Estuary. It offers a superb range of wardrobes and cupboards too. The 3rd bedroom also enjoys the stunning views to the rear aspect. The 2nd bedroom to the front aspect is currently used as a snug with a sofa bed but there is ample room for a double bed and other furniture. The bath/shower room with its soft green suite is a little dated but immaculately presented. We are proud to offer this home for sale and highly recommend a viewing.
Bear in mind ....
The rear aspect catches the afternoon and evening sun and you can enjoy watching beautiful sunsets from the verandah. The rear garden is laid to gravel for ease of maintenance and offers a secluded oasis of tranquility with fenced borders to the side and with mature shrub planting to the rear. Steps with a handrail rise from the garden to the verandah and the dining room patio doors. If you enjoy bird watching there a variety of birds which visit the rear garden due to the adjoining copse. The property has a landscaped communal lawn to the front which sweeps around the side of this row of houses and continues with a copse to the rear. The communal grounds are beautifully manicured and maintained. In addition there is a single garage en bloc and in there is off road parking for one vehicle.
