This charming detached period home has retained a good deal of original features, including tiled fireplaces, picture rails, original internal doors, and fitted cupboards, all contributing to its timeless character. Externally, the property appears well maintained, benefiting from replacement windows and low- maintenance uPVC soffits and fascias, along with gas central heating.<br/><br/>Internally, the home offers excellent potential for improvement, with scope for redecoration and updating of the kitchen and bathroom etc to suit modern tastes. <br/><br/>Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway featuring a turning staircase rising to the first floor. The ground floor comprises two well- proportioned reception rooms: a bright living room with a large bay window and feature tiled fireplace, and a separate dining room, also with a fireplace. There is also a convenient ground floor WC and a kitchen with a boiler cupboard, larder and direct access to the rear garden.<br/><br/>Upstairs, a generous and light-filled landing leads to three bedrooms, two doubles and a good sized single, along with a family bathroom. The loft provides ample storage space and may offer potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.<br/><br/>Outside, the property enjoys gardens to the front, side and rear, with the front garden benefiting from a desirable southerly aspect. The gardens are attractive, although a little overgrown and are predominately laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, and for the most part surrounded by hedging. Situated at the end of the rear garden is a detached garage and driveway providing off-road parking for one vehicle.<br/><br/>Properties of this era that retain such a wealth of original charm are increasingly rare. While some modernisation is required, this home represents a fantastic opportunity to create a stunning residence while preserving its unique character.<br/><br/>Seaton is located at the mouth of the Axe Estuary, a haven for wild fowl, and adjoins the pretty Axmouth harbour.
