Property description

A charming four bedroom detached house located within a short walk of the town centre and seafront.


Gateways is conveniently situated to the west side of Sidmouth town centre and is set in an attractive garden, the majority enjoying a southerly aspect. The house offers charming four bedroom accommodation arranged over two floors, with the ground floor offering three/four reception rooms, the sitting room, study and breakfast room enjoying a southerly aspect and giving access into the garden.


The four bedrooms are a good size, three having a fitted wardrobe and two enjoying a southerly aspect with a glimpse of the sea. There is also a bathroom and WC and in the roof space, there is a partially converted room, which has in the past been used as an occasional bedroom/hobbies room. However, this is only accessed via a loft ladder.


To the outside there are mature gardens surrounding the house on four sides, with the majority enjoying a southerly aspect, as does a patio seating area and the covered verandah.


Accessed from Knowle Drive, there is a driveway providing a parking space and access to a single garage.


Gateways is situated within walking distance of Sidmouth town centre, where there is an excellent range of amenities and, of course, the popular Esplanade and seafront. Nearby, on Station Road and All Saints Road, there are regular bus services to the surrounding area. Sidmouth offers a comprehensive range of local and individual shops and there are lots of clubs, societies and sporting facilities including an Indoor Swimming Pool. Sidmouth also offers a Cinema, Theatre and 'The Byes', which is a delightful riverside walk and cycle track.
