The Manse is a substantial Edwardian family home which has been upgraded by the current owner and retains an abundance of original features. Very handy for town and the beach, the property is situated in a popular road, close to all amenities but not on a main road. The house was originally built as a Manse for the church. The house is absolutely charming and very well presented both inside and out.

The two reception rooms to the front both have deep bay windows, stripped pine doors, original fireplaces and high ceilings. The open plan kitchen/diner is to the rear of the property and has a recently converted (to electric) Rayburn range in the centre of the room. French doors lead on to the conservatory which overlooks the beautiful rear garden. Upstairs, a light and spacious landing leads to four good sized bedrooms with en suite shower to the master bedroom and further family bathroom.

The house has great eco-credentials with a Vailliant AroTherm Air Source Heating System with a 250 litre water tank recently installed. Solar PV roof panels provide electricity making the running of this house extremely economical.

There is a small front garden with a driveway to one side leading past the house to the garage and providing parking for two-three cars. The rear garden is a delight with a feature pond, mature planting, lawn, greenhouse, wood store and a sheltered seating area. There is also a handy butler sink to the side of the property.

The Manse is a must view to appreciate the generous accommodation, original features and the overall feeling of a much loved family home.

Seaton is located at the mouth of the Axe Estuary, a haven for wild fowl, and adjoins the pretty Axmouth harbour. The town offers a range of day to day needs including shops, cafes, doctors, a bank, post office, primary school and even a hospital. The mile long shingle beach features a long level pedestrian promenade overlooking Lyme Bay and surrounding cliffs and forms part of the Jurassic coast, England's only natural World Heritage site. About 6 miles north along the Axe Valley is the market town of Axminster with a mainline railway station operating services to London Waterloo and Exeter. The delightful coastal town of Lyme Regis is just over 6 miles to the east and the ever popular coastal town of Sidmouth, just under 10 miles to the west.
