A beautiful, detached Hatchard- Smith house that sits within a private and secluded plot of just under a fifth of an acre, boasting lovely views over the surrounding countryside. This property enjoys a unique location, near to East Devon Golf Course whilst being in close proximity to the coastal path. Moorlands Road is situated less than 1½ miles from the town centre and sea front.

The property boasts an exclusive, elevated position near the head of this highly sought after residential cul-de-sac. Built in 1953, the accommodation has managed to retain many charming features and was cleverly designed in such a way that all the main rooms enjoy a Southerly aspect with charming views over the mature, well stocked gardens which offer a great deal of interest and compliment the house superbly.

The internal spaces are generously proportioned and extremely light, the reception areas are worthy of particular mention being superb for entertaining, none more so than the triple aspect kitchen complete with stunning Aga (bottle green) as its focal point. All the bedrooms are of generous size and afford charming views. Outside, the stunning gardens wrap around the property. A large garage, with loft storage over, complements the extensive private parking area at the front of the property.

Whilst the property is sufficiently large enough as a family home, both the house garage have obvious potential to extend or convert the loft space to provide additional accommodation. Any scheme would be subject to necessary panning permissions being obtained, but many precedents have already been set in the immediate local area.

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.

The Cathedral City of Exeter lies just 12 miles away, famous for its Cathedral, University, theatres and relaxed style.

Budleigh Salterton has access to numerous local bus routes, whilst communications from Exeter are excellent and include the M5 motorway, a main line rail link to London (Paddington & Waterloo) and an international airport.
