Spacious three-bed penthouse with sea views, garage and communal gardens — lease needs urgent review.
Panoramic sea and Sid Valley views from two balconies
Light-filled penthouse with panoramic sea and Sid Valley views, set in a handsome Edwardian building just a third of a mile from Sidmouth town centre and the Regency esplanade. The top-floor apartment has three bedrooms, two balconies, a sitting room with sea views, a separate dining room, and a modern fitted kitchen — a rare combination of space and outlook in this location.
The flat is offered chain-free and benefits from double glazing, modern electric central heating, communal gardens, visitor parking and an en-bloc single garage. Its elevated position and many windows give excellent natural light throughout; a store is provided on one balcony and pets are permitted (holiday letting is prohibited).
Important practical points: this is a leasehold property with approximately 82 years remaining. That term may deter some mortgage lenders and will require urgent attention/renewal by a buyer. The property has an annual service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance costs which should be factored into affordability calculations.
Suitable for downsizers or couples seeking a spacious, low-maintenance coastal base with excellent local amenities and transport links, the apartment will particularly appeal to buyers who value light, views and proximity to Sidmouth’s seafront. Buyers seeking buy-to-let or holiday-let income should note holiday letting is prohibited and lease length may affect mortgage options.
