Property description

A superbly appointed Edwardian town house extended and improved to a very high standard in recent years.


Millford Road is an Edwardian terrace constructed in the early 1900s and designed by the renowned local Architect, R W Sampson. This particular house has been significantly improved and extended by the current owners in recent years and now offers immaculately presented accommodation, with a sympathetic combination of contemporary design and traditional period features.


The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the ground floor offering a sitting room with a bay window, a living room then leads to a dining room and on into a most impressive kitchen measuring 15'6\" x 23'3\" and with tri-fold doors opening into the rear garden. There is also a utility room and cloakroom to the rear. To the first floor is a good size master bedroom with a covered balcony, a second bedroom and a superb quality Fired Earth bathroom suite. To the second floor there are two further double bedrooms and another Fired Earth bathroom suite, with a shower cubicle.


The property is offered for sale in excellent order throughout, with quality fixtures and fittings, uPVC double glazing and gas central heating. There are numerous ornate fireplaces, original period features and with modern conveniences such as electically operated lantern roof windows and a large gas fired Aga.


To the front of the house is a pretty, enclosed garden offering a good degree of privacy from the road. To the rear there is an attractively paved seating area, which in turn leads to a level garden with a timber summerhouse and pedestrian access to the parking area. Whilst there is a residents parking scheme in operation on Millford Road, this particular property has the benefit of two private off road parking spaces.


Millford Road is situated within a level walk of Sidmouth town centre and seafront, running parallel with the River Sid. The entrance to the popular 'Byes' riverside walk and cycle path is also a short distance away. The town of Sidmouth offers a wide range of amenities which include a Cottage Hospital, Health Centre, Theatre, Cinema, numerous independent retailers and a Waitrose Supermarket. Mainline Railway connections can be found at Honiton, which is approximately ten miles away, further connections and an International Airport at Exeter, which is approximately sixteen miles away.
