Property description

An imposing detached residence built in 1925 and designed by recognised local Architect, R W Sampson. Spacious and well presented accommodation standing on approximately two thirds of an acre, with views to the sea.


Edgmond is an attractive detached house situated in one of Sidmouth's most sought after locations, to the western side of the Sid Valley. The plot, which is approximately two thirds of an acre, enjoys an elevated yet sheltered position, offering excellent views from both the gardens and the property to Salcombe Hill and the sea. The property offers a sympathetic combination of period features and modern fixtures and fittings, with oak architraves, door frames, picture rails and panelling running throughout the well proportioned accommodation. There are two impressive period fireplaces, high ceilings and an impressive turning staircase.


The accommodation itself briefly comprises a spacious hallway leading to a large drawing room, a separate dining room and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a utility/hobbies room off. To the first floor are four good size double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, a Porcelonsa bathroom and a separate shower room. The house is presented in excellent decorative order, is gas centrally heated and has bespoke timber framed double glazed leaded light windows.


The majority of the plot is laid to lawn, with a long driveway providing off road parking, a single garage and a turning area. There are two south facing sun terraces, one in particular having stunning views over Sidmouth to Salcombe Hill and the sea.


Sidmouth is a popular Regency seaside town offering a range of independent shops and retailers, including High Street names, a Theatre, Cottage Hosiptal, Health Centre, numerous sports clubs and a Waitrose Supermarket. The Cathedral City of Exeter, with its international Airport, M5 motorway connection and mainline rail link to London, is approximately sixteen miles to the west.
