Property description

Beachfront property with the option of an entirely self-contained annex to the rear which can equally be integrated into the main apartment, creating a substantial 3/4 bedroom property with private outside space and parking for two vehicles.

Location:
Seaton is located between the ancient harbour of Axmouth and the white cliffs of Beer. Its mile long beach, which is part of the Jurassic Coast, opens onto the waters of Lyme Bay. The town itself has many small shops, a local hospital, doctors surgeries, primary school, banks and building societies. Seaton is a popular resort for holiday makers, and boasts a wealth of activities including golf, tennis, bowls and sailing. There are good secondary schools nearby along with the renowned Colyton Grammar School, which is just 3 miles inland. The County town of Exeter, with its regional airport, is some twenty miles to the west, and the mainline rail link to London (Waterloo) is at Axminster, approximately seven miles distant.

Directions:
From our offices in Seaton, on foot, proceed towards the sea front. Turn left walking along the Esplanade, continue along passing Beach Road on the left to East Walk where the property will be indicated by our For Sale board.

The Property:
Formerly two apartments, the current owners aquired the rear ground floor apartment some years ago and added a door between and now offer for sale the entire ground floor including a rear extension in this characterful, period seafront building. As such, the accommodation is extremely flexible with the option of an entirely self-contained annex to the rear which can equally be integrated into the main apartment, creating a substantial 3/4 bedroom property.Both the Apartment and Annex have the unique benefit of their own private entrances as the two upper floor apartments are accessed to the rear via an enclosed external staircase. All of the outside space including side courtyard, rear courtyard and front terrace with panoramic sea views are owned by and for the exclusive use of this property.There are some wonderful character features within the apartment which has been well maintained and includes uPVC double glazing throughout and gas-fired central heating. Internally, the property could now benefit from some cosmetic modernisation, however, the kitchen and bathrooms are in good order, having been recently upgraded and the roof to the Annex extension has been fibreglassed in recent years.This property is in a fantastic location with 2 private parking spaces and offers excellent scope as a property with investment potential or a stunning family seaside retreat and must be viewed at your earliest convenience.
