A beautifully presented, detached house within a prime residential area of Budleigh Salterton, just a short walk from the scenic Otter estuary and seafront. The property enjoys an extremely quiet location with amazing views across the Otter Valley towards the surrounding countryside of Muttersmoor and High Peak.

"South Lodge" is set within a mature plot of approximately 1/4 of an acre. The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout, yet affords flexibility, with the majority or rooms enjoying fine country views, some also having sea glimpses. Outside, the landscaped gardens boast a sunny orientation and good degree of privacy.

Whilst ‘South Lodge’ is generous in proportions, there is clear opportunity to convert the loft space to create further accommodation, subject to planning permission being obtained. Many precedents have already been set in the immediate local area.
