Property description
A very well presented first floor converted flat forming part of this impressive Grade II Listed building, with lovely views to the town and sea.
Cedar Shade is an impressive Grade II Listed property well known locally as home to the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning and as such, awarded a blue plaque by the Sid Vale Association. In recent years the property was sympathetically converted into the private residences we see today, benefiting from a secure electric gated entrance.
This individual apartment, which is situated on the first floor, benefits greatly from a south facing aspect, with tall sash windows allowing plenty of light into the property and providing a fantastic view over the communal grounds onto the Parish Church and sea in the distance. The accommodation, which retains high ceilings with coving and with a finish to an extremely high standard, provides a spacious sitting room and kitchen, a master bedroom with en-suite shower, a further double bedroom and a well-appointed main bathroom. The property has been kept in immaculate order by the current owner, has gas central heating, an alarm system and good storage.
Cedar Shade benefits from an elevated position, yet is set back from the roadside and is within easy reach of Sidmouth town centre and seafront. Regular bus services pass by and a broad range of amenities are within walking distance, which include a Health Centre, Library, Cinema, Theatre, Cottage Hospital and of course, Sidmouths' impressive range of independent shops and retailers.
