Upper Stoneborough Lane, Budleigh Salterton, EX9

A beautifully presented, detached house enjoying an extremely attractive, yet convenient, situation within a highly sought after residential area of Budleigh Salterton. The property was built in the 1920’s but has been sympathetically extended and tastefully refurbished by the current owners who have enjoyed living there for over 30 years.

It is set well back from the road, within an extremely private corner plot of approximately quarter of an acre. This wonderful family house has a charming feel and blends period features with contemporary fixtures and fittings of the highest standard. Many of the principal rooms enjoy double, if not triple aspects, providing generous amounts of natural light. Most have a southerly aspect and charming views over its extensive, landscaped gardens.

The external fabric of the building is in excellent order. There is potential to convert the loft space if further accommodation is required. The property benefits from solar photovoltaic panels.

The property is just few hundred yards from the renowned croquet lawns and is close to Budleigh Salterton Games Club and tennis courts. The town, sea front and Otter Estuary are all within half a mile, whilst the nearby access to the attractive footpath, running along the old railway line, provides a convenient approach to White Bridge and excellent walking along the beautiful River Otter. Communications are excellent with local bus routes in close proximity.

Outside

The house is approached by a private, circular driveway which provides ample private parking and leads directly to the detached double garage (complete with light and power).

The landscaped gardens surround the property and are orientated to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A variety of trees and shrubs make up the pleasant borders and provide colour and interest throughout the year. There are generous lawn areas to the front and rear of the property. There is a large south facing sun terrace which extends around to the side of the house, providing a lovely aspect over the gardens and a sheltered area for al-fresco entertaining. The wildlife pond is an interesting feature and the raised vegetable beds have an abundance of fruit bushes, all of which adds to the enjoyment of the gardens.

The detached, insulated studio (complete with light and power) could be a tranquil working from home option, consulting room or separate hobby area.
