A mature, and extremely characterful, semi-detached house which has been thoughtfully extended and improved in recent years. The property enjoys a particularly quiet location within a highly sought after residential area. 'West Hedges' is situated in close proximity to East Devon Golf Club and the south west coastal path, yet only � a mile from the Town centre and sea front.
'Smarts Hill' was a grand house, built-in 1929 by Palmers to a design by Budleigh Salterton�s renowned and favourite architect, Hatchard-Smith.
'West Hedges� comprises the western part of the original house and provides generously proportioned accommodation with an Arts and Crafts influence and sits within a plot equating to approximately one fifth of an acre. Many of the principal rooms boast double aspects and all have the benefit of a southerly aspect with charming views over the landscaped gardens and surrounding area.
Further notable features include a well-planned kitchen with a quality range of base and wall units, Neff and Miele appliances plus a separate larder. The convenient utility area affords front to back access without having to go through the house and a further sink unit with worktop space plus space and plumbing for washing machine / tumble drier. The office provides a quiet and flexible space (another bedroom if required) and leads into the spacious conservatory which is fully double glazed with a tiled floor and sliding doors to the rear garden with a further door through to the garage. From the reception hall through to the siting room there is a great deal of character, features include original floorboards, picture rails and ornate coving. In the dining room French doors lead out onto the sun terrace whilst the elegant sitting room provides a double aspect and lovely views over the gardens. The original logia has been enclosed and includes a large Velux window providing a delightful extension to the sitting room.
The master bedroom is particularly large with a double aspect, the adjacent bathroom acts as well as an en-suite and is a contemporary suite with high quality fixtures and fittings. Bedroom Two has the benefit of an en-suite shower room, whilst Bedroom Four can also be used as a study if required. The landing provides access to the large insulated / boarded loft space. Bedroom Three enjoys a double aspect and further views of the garden. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating throughout.
Outside
The landscaped garden is a very significant feature, providing a wide variety of interesting features and mature planting with a Southerly aspect and total seclusion for the most part.
There is a charming sun terrace which makes the most of the southerly orientation. There is an established vegetable garden and fruit growing area complete with cage. A greenhouse, 2 sheds and a composting area are additional conveniences.
The property provides ample private parking and an integral garage complete with an electric roller door, light, power and space for appliances with a workshop area at the back.
