SUMMARY Offered for sale with no ongoing chain, is this spacious duplex apartment with approximately 1900 square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors.
Fortfield Lawn was built around 20 years ago to a particularly high standard and with superior quality fixtures and fittings.
On entering the building, you are greeted by an impressive atrium hallway, with a lift and staircase to all floors and the gated parking area.
Once inside the property, an entrance hall has an airing cupboard housing a pressurised hot water cylinder and a staircase leading down to the living accommodation.
Staying on the upper floor, the main bedroom is dual aspect with en suite shower room and a covered balcony looking south, enjoying a fantastic view over Sidmouth Cricket and Tennis Club to the sea beyond.
There are two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and one with an en suite shower room. A main bathroom has been recently improved with a wet room shower.
SUMMARY (CONT..) A particularly spacious sitting/dining room is triple aspect and features a broad bay window with doors opening onto a private patio, taking in the south facing sea view.
The room is open plan through to a kitchen/breakfast room that is fitted with a Poggenpohl kitchen and preparation island, an excellent range of units and built-in appliances to include ovens, microwave, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Glazed doors open onto a second private patio, again with fabulous views. There is a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs and a cloakroom/WC.
OUTSIDE Beyond the private patios are well kept, low maintenance communal gardens, looking south and with the stunning backdrop of the Cricket Club's thatched pavilion to the sea beyond.
There is visitor parking to the front of the building and electric gates opening into under-building parking where the property owns two spaces. Within this area there is also a secure store room.
