There are independent shops and cafes, a good selection of public houses and restaurants and a charming foot passenger ferry across to the seaside town of Teignmouth. Additional amenities include an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated primary school, The Ness House Hotel and a bowling green surrounded by pretty cottages. There is a well-supported annual regatta and water carnival as well as a rowing and sailing club. There is good walking on the south west coast path and the wonderful Ness Beach is accessed via a tunnel. The village even has a small zoo! Teignmouth is just over a mile away and has a lovely promenade with classic Georgian crescent and a range of education options including Trinity School, offering both private primary and secondary education. In addition there is a mainline rail link to London Paddington.

DESCRIPTION

An elegant, stylish and substantial seaside residence set in an enviable position within the heart of the highly sought-after coastal village of Shaldon. The property is externally appealing with traditionally styled timber and sash windows, mansard roof and over 2300 square feet of beautifully styled accommodation arranged over three storeys. The property was the subject of a comprehensive programme of refurbishment works during 2022 to include the replacement of the majority of the windows with high quality traditional timber framed double glazed sashes. The external walls, ceilings and floors were insulated to achieve a "C" rated EPC, which is an exception for an older village property. Internally the walls and ceilings were fully replastered throughout, and the property was replumbed and rewired in 2022. The outstanding fitments and finishes within the property included a new custom-built kitchen with a good range of integrated appliances. The six bedrooms all have high quality en-suite bath and/or shower rooms with fired earth tiling and vanity units. As well as being set not much more than a stone's throw from the sandy beach the windows on the upper floor enjoy wonderful views towards the Teign estuary and out to sea. To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard-style garden with porcelain tiles, ideal for outdoor entertaining/pot plants etc. There is a second rear courtyard which will be surfaced with resin bound gravel, and will be fitted a high quality Iroko timber "around the corner" gate, and has consent for use as parking, with parking being at an absolute "premium" in Shaldon's village centre.

The house has most recently been used as a successful holiday let, with turnover of just under the VAT threshold of £90,000 for each of the last 2 years. The current owners have accounts available, which can be made available to be presented to a lender should the new owner wish to continue this use.
