Property description
An extended and much improved detached chalet bungalow situated in a delightful semi-rural setting, with approximately half an acre of garden.
LOCATION
Situated in a semi-rural location, on the edge of Sidmouth, yet within two and a half miles of Sidmouth seafront and town centre, is this spacious detached chalet bungalow. Originally constructed in the mid- 1950s, the property has been extended and greatly improved and now boasts well-presented, flexible accommodation.
SUMMARY
The impressive kitchen offers a generous range of units, with a Rangemaster cooker and connects to the dining room, which in turn leads through to a good size sun room enjoying a southerly aspect, with views over the rear garden. The sitting room, with a log burning stove, also connects to the sun room and back into the main hallway. There are two good size double bedrooms on the ground floor, one having a range of fitted bedroom furniture and lastly, there is the main bathroom, with a separate shower cubicle. On the first floor is the master bedroom suite, boasting excellent views in a southerly direction to the surrounding countryside and wooded hillside of Muttersmoor. Off the main bedroom is a dressing room with fitted wardrobes that could be an occasional bedroom, and an en-suite bathroom, again with a separate shower cubicle.
SUMMARY CONTINUED
The property stands on a generous plot of approximately half an acre, with a circular driveway to the front, a detached double garage, a single garage and a most useful timber garden office/hobbies room/utility room. To the rear of the property, and enjoying a south facing aspect, is a generous lawned garden, which offers features including a raised patio, an attractive water feature, a timber garden chalet with a covered decking, a greenhouse, a log store and a cellar storage room.
