The Property:

Occupying a particularly generous plot at the end of a private driveway, this attractive 1930s semi-detached home combines character, space and potential in an established residential setting close to the amenities of Seaton. Having been carefully improved and maintained by the current owners during their nearly twenty years of ownership, the property retains a wealth of original features including picture rails and panelled doors, whilst benefitting from modern improvements such as double glazing installed in 2017. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating.

The entrance porch, with quarry tiled flooring, opens into a spacious reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front of the property, the living room is a bright and well-proportioned reception room enjoying an outlook over the attractive gardens, featuring wood effect flooring and an open fireplace as a focal point. Also overlooking the front gardens is a spacious double aspect dining room, flooded with natural light from a large picture window and glazed door opening to the side. Providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining, the room retains further character with a fireplace recess and shelved alcove.

Situated to the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units with ample work surface space, together with space for a range-style cooker and further appliances. A useful walk-in pantry provides excellent additional storage and shelving, while a door leads directly to the rear garden.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, including two generous double rooms positioned at the front of the property. Both enjoy elevated views across the town towards the surrounding countryside and coastline in the distance, with the principal bedroom benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a particularly impressive outlook. The principal bedroom also features a contemporary en-suite shower room finished with slate tiling. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a stylish family bathroom, fitted with a P-shaped jacuzzi bath, vanity unit and concealed cistern WC. A staircase rises to a substantial loft room with Velux windows enjoying views towards the sea and surrounding area, alongside extensive eaves storage and further adjoining loft space.

Outside, the property enjoys one of the largest plots being set at the end of the private drive. The front gardens are laid principally to lawn with established flower borders, while the private driveway leads to a detached double garage with power, light and rear pedestrian access. Adjoining the garage is a further generous area of garden enclosed by natural stone walling and enhanced by a mature magnolia tree, together with additional parking for several vehicles.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a combination of patio, paved and decked seating areas, creating ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond lies a sizeable lawn bordered by fencing and established flower and shrub beds. A useful garden shed provides further storage, while an external store room attached to the house offers excellent practical space for household equipment and additional storage. This externally accessed room could be reconfigured and opened up into the pantry to create a utility room if required.
