Property description
Well presented, first floor, 2 bedroom apartment, situated in a quiet tucked away location within easy reach of the town centre and seafront.
Location:
Seaton is located between the ancient harbour of Axmouth and the white cliffs of Beer. Its mile long beach, which is part of the Jurassic Coast, opens onto the waters of Lyme Bay. The town itself has many small shops, a local hospital, doctors' surgeries, primary school, banks and building societies. Seaton is a popular resort for holiday makers, and boasts a wealth of activities including golf, tennis, bowls and sailing. There are good secondary schools nearby along with the renowned Colyton Grammar School, which is just 3 miles inland. The County town of Exeter, with its regional airport, is some twenty miles to the west, and the mainline rail link to London (Waterloo) is at Axminster, approximately seven miles distant.

Take the next turning on the left into Stock Lane and take the next turning on the right, signposted The Close. Proceed for approximately 25 yards, heading straight ahead onto a footpath with an island of trees on the left hand side (The Orchard). Proceed up the path and the property can be found on the right hand side.
The Property:
This apartment is tucked away just behind the town centre, yet occupies an extremely quiet location, just yards from the shops and facilities and a few minutes walk from the beach. The location is ideal for many uses including retirement or a second home or holiday let/investment.Number 3 The Close has its own front door and ground floor entrance and is within a small group of ground and first floor flats which overlook a small Orchard. In recent years, the flat has been updated and improved to a high standard by the present owners. Great care and attention to detail has been taken with the addition of a lovely tiled fireplace, chrome light switches, decorative door handles and stained glass window panels to some internal doors which help add to its Art Deco feel. A new kitchen and shower room have been fitted and the apartment benefits from gas fired central heating, uPVC double glazing and an extremely large loft space.
