Castle Hill, Seaton, EX12

Delightful Character Home Enjoying Breathtaking Sea and Coastal Views, Beautiful Established Gardens and a Superb Position Close to the Seafront and Town Centre.

Occupying an enviable elevated position close to the heart of Seaton, Sea Hill House is a charming and substantial semi-detached Arts and Crafts style home believed to date from 1914. Enjoying breathtaking sea, coastal and town views from many rooms, this delightful property combines period character with generous accommodation, beautifully established gardens and the convenience of being within easy walking distance of the seafront, beach and town centre amenities. The property forms part of a larger residence that was sympathetically extended and divided in the 1950s to create the current pair of semi-detached homes. Over the last twelve years the present owners have lovingly maintained and improved the property by altering the layout, creating a warm and welcoming family home that takes full advantage of its exceptional setting. Internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate the size of the accommodation, the attractive gardens and the wonderful views on offer.

A canopy porch shelters the recently replaced front door, opening into a welcoming entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. A cloakroom with WC sits beneath the stairs alongside useful storage cupboards. An attractive glazed door opens into a superb open-plan living and dining room, a wonderfully bright and spacious reception area centred around a feature fireplace with open fire and marble surround. A large bay window overlooks the rear garden, while a high-level front window to the rear captures glimpses towards Axmouth and the cliffs beyond. The dining area retains charming period details including picture rails and built-in shelving, while an additional sitting area beyond enjoys French doors opening onto the garden and floods the room with natural light throughout the day.

The open plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with an excellent range of cream shaker-style units complemented by wood-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks. Features include a traditional Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, soft-close cabinetry and a Rangemaster cooker with induction hob. There is ample space for a dining table and an American-style fridge freezer, creating a sociable family kitchen. An open-plan sunroom extends beyond, providing a delightful additional area with extensive glazing and French doors overlooking the garden.

On the first floor, the landing enjoys far-reaching outlooks across Seaton towards the sea and Axe Cliffs. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room featuring a bay window framing magnificent views over the gardens, coastline and sea stretching towards Beer Head. Adjoining the bedroom is a spacious walk-in dressing room fitted with an extensive range of wardrobes and additional storage. Two further double bedrooms continue the theme of excellent proportions and delightful outlooks. Bedroom two benefits from a dual aspect together with fitted wardrobes and a period-style vanity unit with vintage wash basin, while bedroom three is also dual aspect and enjoys wonderful views over the town rooftops, coastline and sea. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms and is fitted with a white suite comprising bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside:

The property is approached via a private driveway leading to an attached garage with electric roller door, power, lighting and particularly high ceilings. Additional parking is provided alongside, creating space for several vehicles. The front garden is beautifully established with mature flowering shrubs, palms and attractive pathways leading to a raised gravelled seating terrace from where outstanding views can be enjoyed across the tennis courts, Clock Tower, Axe Cliffs and coastline beyond.

The rear gardens are a particular feature of the property, providing a surprisingly generous and private outdoor space. Immediately adjoining the house are paved seating areas perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and entertaining. A large lawn is bordered by colourful flower beds, mature shrubs and specimen plants including camellias, while pathways lead through the garden to a substantial gravelled seating terrace at the far end. Surrounded by mature planting, this provides a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

A pedestrian gate at the rear gives direct access into the Cliff Field Gardens, providing a delightful traffic-free route to both the seafront and beach, further enhancing the appeal of this exceptional coastal home.
