Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Budleigh Salterton, EX9 :
Superbly situated in one of Budleigh Salterton's premier residential locations, 'Howewath' stands within large private landscaped grounds extending to just over one acre which enjoy a high degree of privacy, being well screened by many established trees and shrubs in addition to adjoining fields on two sides, forming part of the East Devon Golf Course. Displaying many fine features from the 1920s period, 'Howewath' enjoys wonderful panoramic views to the North East as far as Mutters Moor and Peak Hill above Sidmouth. The property is within walking distance of the South West coastal path, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and a world heritage site (The Jurassic Coast).
Occupying a position at the end of a no through road, 'Howewath' is a most appealing property, having well proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors.. Both the drawing room and adjacent dining room have a bay window aspect over the grounds, whilst there is also a refitted kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke quality units and large Aga range, utility room and a butler's pantry (the floors to these rooms are laid to marmoleum). In addition to the master bedroom, the first floor provides three further double bedrooms, dressing room, study and two bathrooms, most of which enjoy lovely views over the gardens and golf practice course. On the second floor, a dual aspect double bedroom, thought to have previously been the servant's quarters, adjoins a bathroom, making this suitable as a guest suite. Internally, much character has been retained, with features to include timber doors, parquet flooring and ceiling cornicing. Both reception rooms have fireplaces and there are period dressers in the dining room and in the butler's pantry, which also still retains the original servant's bell call. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazed windows with leaded lights. To the front there is ample parking and access to two large garages.
The town benefits from a good range of local shopping and other facilities as well as cricket, bowls, croquet and tennis clubs, museum, and a highly regarded local cliff top golf course. A more extensive range of amenities and educational facilities are available in the Cathedral City of Exeter, where there is also a railway station with mainline connections to London, an airport and access to the M5 motorway.
