Middle Street, Shaldon, TQ14

This beautiful period residence has rendered elevations with recently fitted double glazed sash windows set beneath a tiled roof and has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owner. The unexpectedly spacious accommodation is arranged over three levels and the many improvements include enhanced levels of insulation, rewiring and plumbing, engineered oak flooring in the receptions, a log burner in the sitting room, an elegant, refitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a luxury four-piece principal bathroom and a modern en suite shower room to bedroom one. The versatile accommodation could be arranged as four bedrooms if required and the practicalities of day-to-day living are well served by the utility room with a cloakroom/WC leading off.   The excellent, gated enclosed outside space comprises a small, paved parking area with an EV car charging point, a titled courtyard area and a useful, well equipped garden room that could also serve as an external office.

 Situation

27 Middle Street is set in an idyllic “tucked away” position not much more that a stone’s throw away from the sandy beach, the popular Ferryboat Inn, the Clipper Cafe and all of the village amenities. Shaldon nestles beautifully between the sandy estuary beach and the pretty hills above. 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 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 the old smugglers tunnel. There is a direct, mainline rail link to London Paddington from Teignmouth.
