Description
A lovely light and airy Grade II Listed characterful home situated on an elevated position at the edge of The Byes which is a beautiful river walk into the town and Esplanade.

Sidbank is situated in an idyllic location within three-quarters of a mile of Sidmouth town centre with an excellent range of independent shops and supermarkets, along with bars and restaurants. The Esplanade which forms part of the Jurassic Coast is also easily accessible and major roads are within easy reach, providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter and the M5.

The property is believed to date back to 1837 and boasts well-proportioned, light and airy characterful accommodation expected for this age of property and provides a wonderful and comfortable family home. The dual aspect lounge is particularly impressive being nearly 28 foot long with a feature fireplace, inset multi-fuel wood burning stove and plenty of room for a library or study at one end with pleasant garden outlooks. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of traditional cream-fronted cupboards and drawers at both base and eye level with modern integrated appliances including a double oven, dishwasher and fridge. The solid oak worktops provide plenty of room for food preparation, pleasing any keen cook and a utility room offers additional storage and appliance space, along with a cloakroom W.C. A spacious dining room allows for more formal occasions with another feature fireplace and potential to create an open plan kitchen/diner if preferred, subject of course to the necessary building regulations.

On the first floor are three generous double bedrooms which would also provide options for a fourth bedroom if required. The shower room is fitted with a modern white suite and the palatial luxury bathroom is fitted with a period-style suite with a roll-top freestanding bath with ornate feet. The house also benefits from a modern gas central heating system.

The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway, allowing room for off-road parking and access to the double garage with light and power. The front garden is predominately laid to lawn and enclosed by timber fencing. The rear garden is a delight and would please any keen gardener with an abundance of mature specimen plants, shrubs and trees which provide a range of colour throughout the seasons. There is a greenhouse and a large expanse of lawn allows plenty of room for children to run and play. This lovely garden enjoys a westerly aspect, taking full advantage of the afternoon sun and a large sun terrace provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months with an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion.
