Property description

An unusual two bedroom detached property set in a little under one and a half acres - for sale by formal tender - with a closing date of midday on Thursday 16th July 2015



Woodlands is an interesting detached property that was originally constructed by the RAF in the early 1940s and which, at the end of the War, was purchased by the present owners and converted into a two bedroom bungalow.


Now in need of total renovation, the property does have the benefit of gas fired central heating, however we believe that Woodlands might provide an opportunity for a purchaser to demolish the building and re-build a new home, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents from East Devon District Council. The property is set in grounds that extend to a little under one and a half acres, with a main road frontage adjoining the A3052 (Exeter-Lyme Regis road).


Situated in a rural position approximately four miles from Sidmouth town centre and seafront, the property is conveniently situated for the surrounding area. Seaton is approximately five miles, Honiton (with its mainline Railway Station) is eight miles, the M5 motorway (Junction 30) is fourteen miles and the Cathedral City of Exeter is nineteen miles.

DIRECTIONS
From our Sidmouth office leave the town by any of the major routes and on the reaching the A3052 (Exeter-Lyme Regis road) turn towards Lyme Regis, leaving the village of Sidford behind you. Continue up Trow Hill, passing the right hand turning to the Donkey Sanctuary and then just as you reach the next right turn to Oaklands Caravan Park, you will see, on the opposite side of the road, the entrance to Woodlands. We suggest that you park your car in the road opposite and walk across to the property.
