This Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage offers four bedrooms across three floors in the heart of Sidmouth, just 550 metres from the seafront and minutes from shops and riverside walks. The house retains original character details and sash windows, plus double glazing, yet requires comprehensive modernisation throughout. Its compact footprint (approx. 1,027 sq ft) and small rear courtyard garden suit buyers wanting historic charm with renovation potential.
Important practical points: the property is offered chain free but the vendors will only consider cash purchasers. The listed status will restrict some alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. Heating is by electric room heaters, walls are likely solid brick with no insulation, and the EPC is F — significant energy improvements are needed.
For an investor or experienced DIY buyer this house presents upside: central location in a very affluent area, flexible living over three storeys, and a small store in the courtyard. For a buyer seeking a quick move or mortgage-dependent purchase, note the cash-only preference and likely increased costs tied to listed-building works. Council Tax Band C and strong local amenities ease day-to-day living while the property awaits sympathetic restoration.
