Seaton Down Road, Seaton, Devon, EX12

Substantial detached house in an elevated location within easy walking distance of the town centre, seafront and beach with delightful mature gardens and some sea views.

The Property:
This substantial house was built, we believe, in the early 1900’s and occupies an elevated location on the west side of town within easy walking distance of the town centre, seafront and beach. Some lovely views are enjoyed towards the sea in the distance from the first floor from this convenient location. The current owners who have lived in the property for the last 25 years, have updated and improved the property during this time which is now presented in good order throughout. A large extension was built which provides a superb open plan family room which overlooks the gardens. More recently, a new gas central heating boiler was fitted two years ago. The property which has some character features expected of a property of this age, must be viewed internally to fully appreciate the size within.

Canopy porch above the front door with decorative glazing, opens to the entrance hall with stairs rising. Wooden stripped flooring runs through the majority of the ground floor including the large entrance hall with under stairs cupboard. A door opens to the living room to the front of the property with decorative feature fireplace, large bay window to front with an attractive overhead beam with exposed brickwork. In addition, there is a large dining room with exposed timbers to ceiling and large arch which opens to a large rear extension which comprises a substantial open plan family room. This has two windows to rear and bi-folding doors which enjoys views over the garden with four Velux roof lights and a large wood burning stove. An open arch from the entrance hall leads into the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a large range of base and wall units with laminate white work tops with tiled splashbacks, inset six burner gas hob with extractor hood over, inset one and a half bowl sink, built-in electric oven, built-in microwave, larder fridge freezer and space and plumbing for dishwasher. There are part panelled walls, exposed timbers to ceiling, tiled floor and a cupboard houses the gas central heating boiler which is two years old. A latch door gives access to a large utility room with matching base and wall units, deep laminate worktops, space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and space for a large American style fridge freezer.
A door gives access to the rear family room and an additional latch door opens to a fully tiled wet room with WC, wash and basin, and shower. A further door from the side of the kitchen opens to a covered access way for storage giving access to both front and rear. The stairs rise to a sizable first floor landing with access hatch to loft. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, three of which are double bedrooms, whilst Bedroom 4 benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 1 is a double aspect room with lovely views looking out over the garden. Bedroom 2 is also a double aspect room with views looking out towards the sea and the estuary in the distance. The fully tiled family bathroom comprises a white suite with panelled bath with shower over, WC, and contemporary style wash basin set over a cupboard unit alongside an airing cupboard. All of the bedrooms upstairs have stripped wooden floorboards.

Outside: To the front of the property is a block paved driveway with parking for two vehicles bordered by fencing and mature hedges, several hardstanding steps lead down to Seaton Down Road for pedestrian access. This property can be accessed by vehicle from Seaton Down Road (following the one way system) or Townsend Avenue.

The garden has been landscaped and benefits from an area laid to patio which spans across the rear of the property, accessed via bi-fold doors from the family room this creates an ideal al-fresco dining area. There is a wooden structure which was erected during the lockdown which now serves as a bar/grill with worktops, gas fired grill, power light and window looking out to the garden beyond with an opening to the front. The patio wraps around either side of the property providing access to the covered access way to one side, and to a covered log/ bin store to the other side of the property with a pedestrian gate leading to the driveway.
A pathway continues to the top of the garden with steps rising to one side to a raised decked seating area and to an area laid to lawn. At the rear of the lawned area is a sizeable workshop with power and light, alongside additional covered storage areas to either side. The garden is fully fenced and benefits from various raised and inset beds for flowers and shrubs.
