Summary - SALCOMBE COTTAGE HILLSIDE ROAD SIDMOUTH EX10 8JF
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Characterful four-bedroom home near Sidmouth seafront and town centre.
Detached four-bedroom character cottage with large garden
Set just a few minutes’ walk from Sidmouth town centre and the seafront, Salcombe Cottage is a characterful detached home offering generous family accommodation across multiple floors. The traditional thatched roof and leaded windows give the house period charm, while a conservatory and separate utility room add everyday practicality.
Arranged over an efficient floorplan, the property provides four double bedrooms — two with en-suite facilities — plus a separate family bathroom, creating flexible sleeping arrangements for children or visiting guests. Living space includes a large sitting room that flows to the conservatory, a dining room and a well-placed kitchen, all benefitting from natural light and views over the substantial garden.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a very low local crime rate in an affluent neighbourhood. The house sits on a large plot with mature planting, offering privacy and scope for outdoor living or light landscaping without immediate structural alteration.
Buyers should note the thatched roof and period construction require ongoing specialist maintenance and possibly higher insurance costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area is characterised as an ageing rural neighbourhood; this is a tranquil, established location rather than a new-development environment.
This property will particularly suit families seeking spacious, characterful accommodation close to schools, town amenities and the coastline, or buyers prioritising village atmosphere and long-term lifestyle appeal rather than a turnkey modern finish.
