A substantial, detached residence enjoying an extremely attractive and private situation with views over its extensive gardens and a pleasant southerly aspect. Whitegates is set well back from the road, within an extremely private plot of approximately half an acre, yet despite its scenic location it is under half a mile from the sea front and Otter Estuary, whilst the Town Centre and games clubs are also in close proximity to the property.

Whitegates is an extremely attractive house which was built in the 1920’s, the property was designed by the renowned local architect Hatchard- Smith who is responsible for some of Budleigh Salterton’s most notable houses. The accommodation is well presented, extremely spacious and flexible with the majority of principal rooms boasting a southerly or double aspect.

The current owner has lived here for over 25 years and despite improvements, including a significant yet sympathetic extension during that time, many characterful features have been retained. Many of the principal rooms enjoy light, double aspects whilst affording pleasant views over the gardens. The external fabric of the building is in good order having be repainted last year. There is potential to convert the loft space if further accommodation is required, planning permission would be required but many precedents have been set in the local area.

The landscaped gardens surround the property and are orientated to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A variety of trees and shrubs make up the pleasant borders and provide colour and interest through the seasons. The lawn areas are generous in size and wrap around the property. The large sun terrace spans the whole front and warps around to the side of the house, providing a lovely aspect over the gardens and a sheltered area for al-fresco entertaining. The barbecue house is a unique feature and provides a superb all year round entertaining area. Whitegates is approached by a private driveway which provides ample private parking and leads directly to the turning area, integral garage and further detached garage.
