Spacious house with large garden and extension potential near coast.
Southerly aspect with long views over mature landscaped gardens
Set on a secluded, elevated plot just under a fifth of an acre, this generous three-bedroom detached house enjoys southerly aspects and long views over mature landscaped gardens. The reception rooms are bright and spacious, and the triple-aspect kitchen — centred on a bottle-green Aga — provides a sociable heart for family life. A large garage with loft storage, extensive private parking and useful outbuildings add practical flexibility.
Built in 1953 and retaining many period features, the house already benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a solar water heating system. There is obvious scope to increase living space by converting the garage or loft, subject to planning permission — similar schemes exist locally. The large garden, sun terrace, wildlife pond and vegetable plot will appeal to families who value outdoor living and privacy.
Buyers should note some maintenance and improvement items: cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), the property dates from the 1950s so further modernisation may be required, and council tax is band G which is relatively costly. The EPC is C, indicating reasonable efficiency but potential to improve with targeted works.
Located under 1½ miles from Budleigh Salterton town centre and the seafront, with excellent mobile and fast broadband, the house sits close to good local amenities, primary schools and countryside pursuits. This is a strong choice for families seeking generous, characterful accommodation with scope to adapt and extend in a very affluent coastal setting.
