Swains Road, Budleigh Salterton, EX9

A charming, yet substantial, semi-detached house situated in a highly favoured residential location. The property sits within a generously sized, private plot that is slightly elevated and set well back from the road. Swains Road is a wonderful location less than a mile from the town centre and in close proximity to the sea front and River Otter. Number 19 boasts a preferred position at the head of this favoured road which acts as a cul-de-sac.

Despite improvements over the years, many characterful features associated with the 1930s period are still in evidence. All principal rooms afford views over the lovely gardens and benefit from being extremely bright due to large bay and picture windows. The reception spaces flow particularly well and upstairs the three bedrooms are all well-proportioned with views across the Otter Valley at the front and landscaped gardens at the rear.

The house has superb potential to extend, either to the side or via a loft conversion, subject to obtaining the required planning consents. Many precedents of similar schemes have been already set in the immediate locality.

Outside the private driveway provides ample parking and could accommodate several cars or a caravan / campervan. The detached single garage has an electric door, light and power. There are mature gardens at the front and rear of the property which complement the house beautifully. The rear garden provides a south and westerly orientation that allows the sun to be enjoyed throughout the day whilst a sun patio affords a sheltered space for al-fresco entertaining. The remaining gardens are laid to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs making up its borders that create colour and interest through the seasons. A greenhouse and shed (with new roof) are further notable assets.

BUDLEIGH SALTERTON

A tranquil and unspoilt Regency town by the sea, which has managed to retain much of its classic beauty and original charm. Situated on the Jurassic Coastline of East Devon and designated as a World Heritage site, it is considered one of the most desirable coastal locations in the UK. The beautiful two-mile beach, with very clean and safe bathing water, is framed by the picturesque sandstone cliffs, and allows panoramic views across Lyme Bay.

Nearby is the Otter Estuary, which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has an abundance of wildlife to explore. Budleigh Salterton has much to offer, having an impressive variety of interesting shops with a wide choice of individually run family businesses, restaurants and cafes. There is also a primary school, doctor's surgery, dentists and a library, all within close proximity of the property. There are a number of clubs and societies that cater for all ages and cover a range of interests, pursuits and activities. East Devon Golf Club, Budleigh Cricket Club plus the Croquet and Tennis Club are renowned sporting venues, whilst culturally the art galleries and drama playhouse have regular exhibitions. The annual literary and music festivals are recognised on an international level, with some of the town’s famous residents regularly contributing.

There are opportunities for all types of cycle routes, water sports and fishing along the coast and in the Exe Estuary. Scenic walks can be enjoyed along the South West Coastal path and the Otter Estuary. The nearby pretty villages of East Budleigh, Otterton and Colaton Raleigh also offer a great deal of exploration and interest, with superb walking and riding potential at Woodbury Common.
