This superb, first floor apartment is set in a charming period house enjoying a unique position overlooking the pebbled beach at Budleigh Salterton with panoramic sea views across the whole of Lyme bay and the East Devon coastline. Marine Parade is a highly favoured address with individual properties on one side of the road only, facing south towards the sea. Most of the town’s principal amenities lie within ¼ mile radius, and a level walk, of the property. The apartment has many characterful features, including bay windows, high ceilings, original cornicing, panelled doors and large sash style windows, which welcome plenty of natural light. With the windows open, the waves can be heard on the shore. The generously proportioned accommodation is tastefully presented, the kitchen and bathroom suites are of the highest quality. All the principal rooms boast stunning views and a southerly aspect. The remaining bedrooms are quietly located at the rear of the property with pleasant views of the landscaped gardens. Storage is plentiful throughout the apartment; the landing has plenty of built in cupboards whilst all the bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobes. The loft space has been partially converted to provide a hobby / occasional room, there is superb potential to further convert the remaining area which could provide an additional area of approximately 900 square feet and create the most amazing duplex property- planning permission would be required, but several precedents have already been set along Marine Parade. The landscaped gardens are unique for such a location and boast established shrubs and attractive borders. The various terraces provide the perfect setting for sitting and enjoying the views across the beach and towards the sea, whilst the lovely summerhouse provides a charming area to entertain and to enjoy al-fresco dining. As it is fully insulated with power it is also an ideal home office. For convenience there is access via steps from the ground floor porch and a rear access gate leading to Madeira Walk. A garage can be found at the rear of the property accessed by a side driveway. A charming main residence, this property will also undoubtedly appeal to those looking for a unique second home.
