Chain-free 3-bed home with parking and direct riverside access — ideal first-time buyer project.
Chain-free three-bedroom end-of-terrace with bay frontage
A compact three-bedroom end-of-terrace in Sidmouth, offered chain-free and tucked on a quiet no-through road with direct access to The Byes riverside walk into town. The house dates from c.1930–49 and retains period character in the bay-fronted living room and sash-style windows while benefiting from double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating. Off-street parking on a paved driveway and a low-maintenance garden add practical appeal for a small family or first-time buyer.
Internally the footprint is modest (approx. 428 sq ft). Room sizes suit a couple or small family but the smaller third bedroom and single family bathroom mean space is limited. The property appears generally well maintained externally but is likely to benefit from internal modernisation to kitchens, bathrooms and energy-efficiency (cavity walls assumed uninsulated).
This is a sensible purchase for a buyer looking for a town-centre foothold, a renovation project with potential to add value, or a hands-on first home where short walkability to schools, shops and riverside amenities matters. Important facts: freehold tenure, affordable council tax, no flooding risk, and average local crime and deprivation metrics. Buyers should note modest square footage and potential improvement costs to improve insulation and modern finishes.
