Livonia Road, Sidmouth

A rare opportunity to acquire this stunning four-bedroom detached home, enviably positioned on one of the most sought-after roads in Sidmouth. The property enjoys a level setting just 300 metres from The Byes, offering easy access to its beautiful riverside walks.

During their ownership, the current owners have thoughtfully extended and modernised the property to an exceptional standard, carefully preserving the charm and character expected of a pre-war home.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall with underfloor heating sets the tone. The generous sitting room boasts high ceilings, oak flooring, and a modern log burner with a Mandarin Stone backdrop, creating a stylish yet cosy living space.

The luxurious German-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is superbly appointed with a central island and breakfast bar, extensive drawer units, an induction hob with extractor, integrated fridge, coffee machine, steam combi oven, and two additional ovens (one incorporating a microwave). A striking glass vaulted ceiling floods the space with natural light. The adjoining family room features a Mandarin Stone accent wall with discreet lighting, ideal for both family living and entertaining.

A versatile dining room, which could serve as a fifth bedroom, benefits from a bay window and feature fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a well-equipped utility room with modern units, built-in freezer, and plumbing for both a washing machine, tumble dryer, and a cloakroom.

On the first floor, a superb galleried landing, crafted in oak and glass by Messrs Neville Johnson, serves as an impressive focal point, enhancing both the sense of space and natural light. The highlight of this level is the exquisite principal bedroom suite, complete with a full range of Sharps fitted wardrobes and a discreet dressing area with additional storage, leading through to a spacious en-suite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a newly fitted family bathroom/shower room.

Outside
The property benefits from a professionally landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed with lighting to create an inviting ambiance. A full-width ceramic-tiled patio overlooks a large pond with a striking blade-style waterfall, complete with integrated lighting. The garden has been styled with a Mediterranean influence, featuring palm trees, an olive tree, and a large acer, all enhanced by carefully positioned lighting. Two generously sized sheds and a dog run/kennel-easily convertible into an additional shed-provide practical storage, while the remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn. Side gates provide convenient access on either side of the property.

To the front, a gated driveway with antique cobbled edging offers parking for several vehicles, complemented by mature flower beds and lighting. Live planning permission is in place for the construction of a single garage, should additional accommodation be required.
