Victoria Place, Budleigh Salterton, EX9

A delightful apartment with stunning views along Budleigh beach, on to Otter Head and across the whole of Lyme Bay. This unique home makes up the entire ground floor of this property which was built around 1900 and is undoubtedly one of Budleigh Salterton’s most attractive residences.

“Broomleas” enjoys an elevated, southerly aspect and sits within a charming plot of a third of an acre. Being situated at the top of Victoria Place it boasts a desirable location within a quiet conservation area, yet conveniently provides direct access onto the cliff path which links Jubilee Field, the sea front and town centre.

The apartment has retained many unspoilt, characterful features throughout. Notable examples include high ceilings with fine mouldings, part panelled walls, bay windows, and a wonderful reception hall with an attractive staircase. Overall the accommodation is spacious and versatile, many of the rooms enjoy double aspects and views of the surrounding area or the gardens. A more contemporary addition was the sun room / conservatory which offers some of the best views available, whilst being double glazed and centrally heated it also has the befit of being used all year round.

There is clear potential with the current basement accommodation, central heating is supplied and the area is fully insulated and tanked with windows in each of the store rooms. The space lends itself to an ideal study / hobby room. Plumbing is easily accessible in order to provide additional amenities, if required.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens that have been thoughtfully stocked with a wide range of specimen shrubs and plants that provide interest and colour throughout the seasons. In the past the garden has won awards for best garden in the local area and used to be made open to the public on an occasional basis. A less formal, enclosed courtyard garden offers a good degree of privacy and provides access to the single garage within a separate block. There is additional private parking in front of the property.

There are only two apartments within the building, both owners have been mindful to keep “Broomleas” and the gardens extremely well maintained. Maintenance is on an “as and when” basis and shared 50/50 with the other apartment. The fact that this property owns the entire freehold is an obvious asset.
