Beatlands Road, Sidmouth £1,350,000

Built in 1927, this attractive and individual house has in more recent years been the subject of considerable alteration, extension and improvement. It now offers both spacious and flexible ground floor accommodation, fitted and finished to the highest standards, yet sympathetic to the period of the house.

A covered entrance with oak pillars leads into the entrance hall where a period turning staircase rises to the first floor passing a tall window, filling the area with light. The hallway has storage, a cloakroom/WC and is fitted with oak doors. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining and living room, which is a superb dual aspect room, beautifully appointed with a modern (2023) kitchen. Contrasting colours give it a contemporary feel, with light grey granite covering the preparation island and worksurfaces. There is a built-in larder fridge and separate larder freezer, two ovens, a microwave/combi oven, large induction hob with pop up extractor and a dishwasher. Storage is excellent with numerous cupboards, pan drawers and corner units. The room extends to a living area with log effect fire and inset television and to a dining space for a table of eight. The room has a partially vaulted ceiling with two Velux windows and there is an adjoining utility room fitted to match the kitchen with a built-in drinks’ fridge and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The sitting room is spacious with a large corner window, enjoying an outlook that extends to Peak hill and the golf course. A sandstone fireplace is fitted with an electric log burner effect fire and is open plan to the garden room. The garden room features four glazed folding doors with a beautiful view looking down the garden. A separate lounge is currently used as a television and film room but would make for a comfortable fourth double bedroom if required. Lastly on the ground floor there is a boot room that has large fitted storage for coats and shoes. Beyond the boot room is the study, a dual aspect room providing a comfortable space for two desks for those who work from home.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a particular feature of the property with its dual aspect with views to the sea, floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes in addition to generous eaves storage cupboards. A spacious en suite shower room has a twin sink vanity surface with built in storage and a mains shower. From the bedroom a pair of glazed doors open onto a generous, covered balcony that takes in a simply breathtaking view south westerly over the garden, The Sid Valley, along Peak Hill and out to sea. There are two further double bedrooms, both with floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and served by a main bathroom with separate mains shower cubicle.

The property is approached through a pair of electric, cedar gates that open onto a large gravel driveway, providing parking for numerous cars and leading to a large, detached garage. Although elevated on its plot, the property can not be seen from the road and as such offers a peaceful and secluded setting. In all the plot extends to around a third of an acre with the main garden area lying to the front with a south westerly aspect. Expansive lawn is bordered by well stocked beds and there are a number of small mature trees. A large patio adjoins the house and extends to the side passing a hot tub beyond which lies a secluded terrace, having a westerly aspect overlooking a smaller area of lawn garden with vegetable plot. The front door is to the far side of the house where there is a useful room for bin storage and an EV charging point. The house can also be accessed on foot and by car from Hillside Road along a private driveway shared by two other properties.

Beatlands Road is a prime residential address on the eastern slopes of The Sid Valley, a short walk from The Byes and River Sid. At the far end of Beatlands Road where it meets Cliff Road, a pathway descends to Alma Bridge, crossing the River Sid and joining Port Royal and the esplanade. As such, the town centre with its broad range of independent shops, High Street chains and popular restaurants is just a third of a mile walk away.
