Situation - Cedar Shade is a prestigious gated development of ten dwellings in a superb, quiet, yet town centre location within the Conservation area, and only ten minutes' walk to the sea front. The original Listed main house holds a Blue Plaque and is well-known locally as a former home of the respected poet Elizabeth Barrett-Browning in the 1830s. It now houses four luxury apartments and there are six other unique dwellings, which were added to the development in 2009. One of these was the Coach House, which is peacefully located at the rear of the development. Maintenance costs for all the properties on the development are the responsibility of the respective owners.
The stunning Regency town of Sidmouth is positioned part way along the rolling coastline of East Devon, noted for its long esplanade, beaches and beautiful public gardens. The town has a range of independent shops and amenities, including a cinema and a theatre. Its recreational facilities include a swimming pool, sailing, cricket, rugby, tennis, bowls and croquet clubs, and a popular golf course. Sidmouth is within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is on the spectacular Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site.
