On the opposite side of the hall is a further substantial reception room, showcasing its original parquet flooring, a large bay window overlooking the Estuary, and a handsome stone fireplace with alcoves and glazed cupboards either side, complemented by picture railing and mock ceiling beams. There is also a generous snug/sitting room fitted with bookshelves, a large window overlooking the side gardens, and a door opening into the conservatory, which has French doors leading directly onto the paved terrace with views across the extensive gardens. From the main hallway, a further door opens into a rear study which also has access to the conservatory. This room currently accommodates the lift that services the first floor and leads to the downstairs cloakroom/WC. The sizable kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a matching range of base and wall units and includes a ‘British racing-green’ coloured double oven gas AGA with twin hot plates, built-in sink, dishwasher and tile-effect flooring. This is a double-aspect room which has direct access to a spacious walk-in pantry/store. A stable door leads to a rear porchway providing access to the exterior. A separate utility room, originally used as the maid’s pantry, includes a sink, worktops, original cupboards and glazed cabinets along with space and plumbing for laundry appliances, all set over quarry-tiled flooring.

Stairs rise and turn with decorative balustrading and handrails to the first-floor gallery style landing which is illuminated by a large domed roof light. On this floor there are five generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a double-aspect room with sliding patio doors opening onto a large wrap-around balcony, extending east and south, taking full advantage of the panoramic views across the sea, cliffs and Estuary. This room includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with WC, again enjoying the far-reaching outlook. The second largest bedroom has views over the side gardens towards the sea and includes fitted wardrobes and accommodates the lift access. A further double aspect bedroom enjoys delightful views over the gardens, while a smaller bedroom, still able to accommodate a double bed, overlooks the estuary and includes access to eaves storage. Another sizable bedroom enjoys elevated views across the Estuary and coastline with fitted cupboards and a wash basin.

In addition, there are two full-sized family bathrooms, both extremely spacious, one with WC, bath, wash basin and shower, and the other with WC, deep bath, shower and an abundance of useful storage cupboards.

West Rising is approached from Fremington Road and has two parking spaces in front of a detached double garage with roller door and side access. A pathway leads along the side of the property with block paving and a paved area giving access to an outside WC and a sizeable outhouse/garden store housing the gas central heating boiler.

From the conservatory, a large, paved terrace provides an excellent seating and entertaining area with steps leading up to the principal section of the garden. This extensive area includes a greenhouse, a large shed, with numerous apple trees, mature hedging and fenced boundaries with a five-bar gate at the top providing secondary access onto Durley Road. This garden enjoys far-reaching views looking out towards Axmouth and the surrounding countryside.
The gardens continue along the side of the house with pathways throughout, additional paved seating areas and dense hedging and trees creating privacy.

A block-paved pathway wraps around to the front of the property where low brick walling borders the front entrance, with a gate leading onto Fremington Road. The front garden includes steps descending to a further lawned area which links seamlessly with the side gardens. The entire plot, comprising the house and gardens, extends to more than half an acre.
