This charming, detached house is situated on the sought-after western side of Seaton, within easy reach of the town centre, seafront and beach.
Occupying a good-sized plot, the property benefits from attractive gardens, ample parking and well-presented, generously proportioned accommodation throughout.
Of note are the exceptionally spacious kitchen/breakfast room and the impressive double aspect living room, making this a home that must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
Overall, this is a most appealing and well-balanced home, offering generous and flexible accommodation in a highly convenient location.
The quality of the space, both inside and out, together with the property’s light filled rooms and attractive gardens, can only be fully appreciated by an internal viewing.
Internally, the accommodation is both bright and spacious, with a welcoming entrance hall featuring wooden flooring and a staircase rising to the upper floors.
The principal reception room is a particularly well-proportioned living room, enjoying a double aspect to the front and side elevations.
This creates a wonderfully light and airy space, centred around a feature stone fireplace with inset gas fire.
To the rear, the dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden, with glazed French doors opening directly outside, allowing for an easy connection between the internal and external spaces.
Beyond, the kitchen/breakfast room is an outstanding feature of the property, an exceptionally generous and well-appointed space fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units complemented by wooden work surfaces and integrated appliances.
A traditional four-oven Aga provides a striking focal point, making this an ideal space for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining.
There is also ample space and plumbing for additional appliances, along with direct access to the garden. In addition, there is a good sized cloakroom/WC accessed from the hallway.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom and bedroom three overlook the lovely front garden, while bedroom two enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes.
The remaining bedroom is equally well presented and generous in size. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve this level, both fitted with modern white suites.
A further staircase rises to the second floor, where a versatile additional bedroom is located, together with a useful landing area suitable for use as a study.
Both the bedroom and study area enjoy natural light via Velux windows and access to extensive eaves storage.

The front garden is attractively arranged, predominantly laid to lawn with wellstocked flower and shrub borders, and a pathway leading to the entrance.
A pretty seating area sits to the front, partially framed by climbing wisteria, creating an appealing first impression.
The rear garden is a particularly attractive and private space, accessed from both the dining room and kitchen.
A paved terrace immediately adjoins the property, providing an ideal area for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A couple of steps lead up to a level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds, with mature planting and apple trees adding to the sense of enclosure and charm.
Additional seating areas are thoughtfully positioned throughout the garden, including a slate-chipped further seating area to the rear of the garage.
