Property description

A three bedroom detached house enjoying a semi-rural position and having beautifully landscaped gardens.



Bridgefield is situated on the edge of this popular East Devon village and enjoys lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The village offers local amenities, including a highly regarded Butcher/Village Shop, Public House, Church, Primary School and a good bus service. The coastal resort of Sidmouth, which offers an excellent range of amenities, as well as the seafront, is approximately three miles away.


The house is understood to have been constructed in the 1950s and although now in need of a little modernisation, it does benefit from having gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazed windows are installed, which includes a conservatory with French doors. All of the principal rooms enjoy a dual aspect, with a wonderful view over the gardens and beyond to the surrounding hills.


The house is set in beautifully presented gardens which extend to approximately a third of an acre. Adjoining the very bottom boundary is the River Sid, with countryside beyond. To the front of the property there is a double garage and an adjoining driveway providing parking.
