Cotmaton Road, Sidmouth

A rare opportunity to own a charming residence with an adjoining self contained cottage, in a desirable residential position with a unique amount of versatility. The property is presently set up as two adjoining properties within a terrace of three with the ability to be used as one larger residence or two individual properties and would be suitable for a variety of scenario's including inter-generational living and letting investments amongst many others. The accommodation is now considered to be ready for general cosmetic updating but has the benefit of uPVC double glazing throughout, solar panels which generate a modest income, and a modern gas fired central heating and hot water system which includes a Worcester boiler which was installed at Prestwood in January 2023. Moyen Cottage also has its own individual gas fired heating system. The property is situated in a slightly elevated position on the western side of town and lies within half a mile of the town centre and The Esplanade.

Prestwood's accommodation briefly comprises of: an entrance vestibule which opens to a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and an understairs storage cupboard. The living room has a southerly facing bay window which overlooks the rear gardens. There is a separate dining room with a glazed door with windows to either side which leads out to the conservatory and another door which connects to the kitchen. The kitchen has an extensive range of base and wall mounted units with several storage cupboards and a large pantry with a cold slate shelf. A part glazed door opens from the rear of the kitchen into a utility room which connects to the conservatory, a ground floor shower room, and a side door which opens out onto the gardens. The conservatory enjoys views over the rear gardens with French doors which provide additional access. The first floor offers three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a landing with two storage cupboards. Bedroom 1 is a comfortably sized double bedroom with views over the rear gardens. Bedroom 2 is another double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a bay window which enjoys views towards the town and Salcombe Hill on the eastern side of the Sid Valley. Bedroom 3 is a comfortably sized single room with a north-westerly facing window with views towards Muttersmoor. Stairs rise towards the second floor which was converted in 2017. The conversion has created a delightful space designed to be a studio but could also serve as an additional bedroom. The room is superbly lit with 5 skylights and an additional window to the side with views towards Peak Hill in the west. There is plenty of storage within the eaves and a sink.

Moyen Cottage is dually accessible from Cotmaton Road and via a lobby connecting the to entrance hallway of Prestwood. The external door opens onto a porch with access to the reception room and a separate cloakroom and utility area. The main reception room offers a semi-open plan space with a living area and a kitchen/diner with a glazed door providing access to the rear gardens with a window to the side. Stairs rise to the first floor with a small landing with access to the bedroom and en suite shower room. The landing also provides access to a southerly facing roof terrace which also overlooks the rear gardens.

Wide double gates with an additional pedestrian gate are located on the left hand side of the property which provide access to the rear gardens and provide an opportunity for additional parking. The current vendors use the side gardens as a vegetable growing area with a selection of raised beds which lie on an area of hardstanding. This area is garden is perfect for catching the morning sunshine through to the early afternoon and enjoys a great degree of privacy. An attractive brick wall continues along the boundary to the rear of the property where a more southerly facing area of garden will be found. The rear gardens are interspersed with a beautiful array of plants and shrubs which includes a strawberry tree. A summerhouse sits at the foot of the garden enjoying total privacy. An additional allocated parking space is located to the right hand side of the property.
