Offered with no onward chain, the property is now ready for updating and modernisation.
Arranged over four floors, the property retains much of its original character, including sash windows, fireplaces and well-proportioned rooms.
The accommodation includes a spacious dining room, large kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, two impressive first-floor reception rooms and four double bedrooms.
Particularly noteworthy are the elevated views enjoyed from the upper floors.
The principal bedroom benefits from far-reaching views across Exmouth towards Dawlish Warren and along the coastline, while several rear-facing rooms enjoy attractive views towards Holy Trinity Church.
