Property description
A spacious Grade II listed detached house, having four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, a good size level garden, parking and a garage.
Ivy Cottage is a Grade II Listed detached house believed to date from the early 19th Century. The house has a number of interesting period features, including multi-pane sash and casement windows, fireplaces and panel doors. The property offers spacious accommodation that comprises a large sitting room with a sun room off, a separate dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, a utility room and a ground floor wet room/WC. To the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are good size doubles, and finally, a main bathroom with a separate shower cubicle and a separate WC.
The gardens are predominantly to the rear of the property, benefit from a south easterly aspect and are mostly laid to level lawn. There is off road parking for at least two cars and a detached single garage.
The property is situated a little over a mile from Sidmouth town centre and seafront, yet within easy reach of a broad range of amenities available at Woolbrook, Sidmouth College, 'The Byes' riverside walk and cycle path and regular bus services to the surrounding area. Exeter is approximately twelve miles to the west, with its mainline Railway, junction to the M5 and international Airport.
