A truly unique opportunity to acquire a classic 1950s detached house set in a prime residential area of Sidmouth in need of modernisation. Set in close to half an acre of mature gardens.
This outstanding residence is welcomed to the market for the first time in over 20 years and is truly a diamond in the rough. Rarely do opportunities like this come to open market within Sidmouth. Believed to have been constructed during the 1950’s, 6 Lower Wheathill is an exceptional property boasting impressive room sizes, large gardens and plenty of scope for improvement/extending, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. On entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hallway with decorative staircase leading to the part galleried landing. There is a useful downstairs cloakroom and doors to the principal reception room and kitchen. The main reception room enjoys a beautiful dual aspect with direct access out onto the terrace, while the kitchen includes a range of wall and base units, a walk in pantry and ample space for a breakfast table. There is also an adjoining utility room, double glazed conservatory and an additional bedroom/study located to the rear of the ground floor. The first floor comprises three excellent well proportioned double bedrooms, all of which enjoy views out over the gardens, over Sidmouth and the Sid Valley. The master bedroom features an en suite bathroom and the remaining bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom which includes a separate shower cubicle.
Outside
The property is approached via a gated driveway which continues up to the main entrance and parking area. A few steps lead to a delightful open storm porch and a generous sun terrace which spans the full width of the property. The gardens enjoy established boundaries which offer a great deal of privacy. The garden to the front elevation has been recently cut back and is a blank canvas to prospective buyers. The large area of garden to the rear of the property is overgrown and is only accessed by a recently cut footpath, interspersed with a wide variety of specimen trees, mature shrubs and seasonal flowers. In all about 0.45 acres
Situation
6 Lower Wheathill enjoys a wonderfully private position, with distant views over the Sid Valley to the surrounding hills. Positioned in at the end of a small cul de sac, the property is ideally placed, away from passing traffic yet less than two miles inland from Sidmouth seafront. The stunning Regency town of Sidmouth is positioned part way along the rolling coastline of East Devon, noted for its long esplanade, pebble beaches, beautiful public gardens and coastal walks. The town has a range of independent shops and amenities, including a cinema, department store and a theatre. National retails include Waitrose, Boots and Seasalt. There is also wide variety of eateries, coffee shops and public inns. Sidmouth is part of the National Landscape (formerly aonb) Natural Beauty and is on the spectacular Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site. The cathedral city of Exeter is 15 miles to the west and offers a full range of facilities, as well as rail links on the Paddington and Waterloo lines. The city also has easy access to the M5 at Junction 30 and Exeter International Airport.
