2 bedroom coach house

A beautifully presented, detached, freehold property with sea views, situated in a superb central, yet quiet location, within a prestigious gated development only half a mile from the seafront.

SUMMARY
The property is presented in excellent condition with lower than normal maintenance; only built in 2009 it therefore has the benefit of efficient insulation. The accommodation is on the first floor and is accessed from a private external staircase leading from the side of its private garage; there is also rear access via gentle inclining steps to the property's private terrace. Although a relatively new property, it has been upgraded to include two en-suite bathrooms, a stylish kitchen, additional feature windows and doors, wood flooring, re-fitted utility room, Velux windows and spotlighting throughout. It has gas central heating, a feature lounge electric fire and double glazing. The kitchen features an integrated washing machine, dishwasher and freezer and a large free standing larder fridge. The property has the benefit of higher than normal semi-vaulted ceilings which give an open and modern feel. The master bedroom has sea views, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; the guest bedroom has its own en-suite shower room. The utility room is currently used as a study, but has retained the plumbing so it can be easily reverted to house a washing machine and/or a toilet and sink. There is ample storage in the property, plus a large single garage with a substantial amount of additional storage; the garage also has power and light and a quiet electrically operated door.

OUTSIDE
The property enjoys level private south facing terraces; one with views towards Salcombe Hill and the sea. The terraces extend to the rear of the property, providing space for alfresco dining and sun bathing and these paved areas can easily be adapted for a small child or family pet. To the front of the property there is a small south facing cottage style courtyard. The rear and side of the property have high walls which offer a considerable degree of privacy. On the other side of these, is a quiet select retirement complex. An external stair lift could be installed to the left of the garage leading up to the front door.

LOCATION
Cedar Shade is a prestigious gated development of ten properties, in a superb, yet quiet location in the town centre and Conservation area. The estate has electronic gates that give both privacy and security. Cedar Shade is within level walking distance to the beach, seafront and all of Sidmouth's amenities. The original Grade II Listed house holds a Blue Plaque; this property now houses four luxury apartments with an additional wing creating a town house. The rest of the estate has five distinctive properties that were built in 2009, and one of these is the Coach House which is peacefully located at the rear of the development. The estate is accessed via a large driveway that sweeps to the rear where the Coach House is quietly situated. Cedar Shade has extensive landscaped gardens for the quiet enjoyment of residents and their guests; there are also four parking spaces for the exclusive use of residents and their visitors.
