A stunning top floor apartment forming part of one of Sidmouth’s most notable buildings, situated at the heart of the esplanade and with uninterrupted, south facing sea views.


SUMMARY

Understood to have been built in the 1700’s and widely believed to be the first house built facing the seafront, Beach House is a striking Grade II* Listed building, the exterior of which was altered in the first half of the 1800’s into the Regency style that we see today. The apartment occupies the entirety of the top floor and features three, pointed arch, stain glass windows, all looking due south out to sea. The interior has been sympathetically modernised over the years, retaining period features, in particular an exposed timber framework in the kitchen

SUMMARY (CONT..)

Today the property has modern comforts such a gas central heating and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. The apartment is accessed at the rear via a secure entrance to stairs rising to the first floor. A front door then gives access to a further flight of stairs leading to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units to include a built-in oven, grill and electric hob and with space for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A utility room off has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a cupboard housing the gas boiler. A long inner hallway leads to a spacious second bedroom with rear facing window and en suite shower room. The main bathroom is also off the hallway. A broad staircase rises to the upper level of the apartment where the sitting room, main bedroom and third bedroom, all have breathtaking sea views.

SUMMARY (CONT...)

The sitting room and main bedroom are of a particularly good size and the third bedroom is a comfortable single room. Returning to the hallway, a door gives access to a former and unused staircase, where planning permission has been obtained to partially floor the area to create storage. Subject to any necessary planning consent there is also potential to create an en suite to the main bedroom.

OUTSIDE

There are no gardens to worry about or maintain and parking permits for nearby car parks are available from East Devon District Council. Alternatively, we understand spaces can be rented in both the Mill Street and Bedford Lawn car parks.

Beach House occupies a prominent position at the heart of the Regency esplanade and as such, all town centre amenities are close at hand.
