About
Substantial, period 3 bedroom property within walking distance of the Town Centre and Seafront, located in an elevated position enjoying fabulous far-reaching sea, Axe estuary and countryside views.
18 Townsend Road is a delightful 1930's semi-detached property located in a quiet no-through road which is elevated with fantastic sea and Axe Estuary views to the front and far-reaching countryside views to the rear.
Situated in a popular residential area, this property is a short walk from the town and beach and from a convenience store, as well as the local doctor’s surgery and primary school.
This property offers well-proportioned accommodation with three bedrooms and sizeable bathroom alongside three reception rooms; however, it would now benefit from some modernisation.
On entering the property there is a spacious hallway with the living room immediately on your right-hand side, featuring gas fire and character bay window.
There is a separate dining room which could be used as a downstairs bedroom, alongside an additional breakfast room or extra reception.
The breakfast room leads into the kitchen which is fully fitted with wooden base and wall units, worktops, integral fridge freezer and sink as well as space for a freestanding cooker and space for two undercounter appliances.
A door from the kitchen leads out to a lean-to utility space and out into the rear garden where there is an external gardener’s WC. Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the upstairs accommodation.
The master bedroom and bedroom two are both good sized double rooms, with bedroom 1 enjoying a bay window with views out towards the sea.
Bedroom 2 overlooks the rear garden with views towards Axminster and across to the Axe Estuary. Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom and features fitted wardrobe and cupboard space and faces south.
There is a large family bathroom, with fitted vanity unit and sink, WC, bath, separate walk-in shower, heated towel rail, bidet and large double airing cupboard with shelving and combi boiler as well as hatch to loft with light and drop-down ladder.
The property benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. We recommend viewing this property to fully appreciate the space and charming period features within.
Outside: To the front of the property, there is a brick wall boundary with iron gates giving access to a brick paved private driveway.
There is an attached single garage with double wooden doors, power and light. To the side of the driveway is a lawned area with fence border.
A pedestrian gate gives access from the front around the side of the property to the rear garden where there is a patio area with two wooden garden sheds, access to the outside WC, outside tap and water butt.
A step up leads to a large lawn with paved footpath, alongside a number of mature shrubs and raised beds.
To the rear of the garden is a patio seating area, and a greenhouse alongside an apple tree and a flowering cherry tree. Council Tax: We are advised that this property is in council tax band D.
