Woodlands, Budleigh Salterton, EX9

A well-proportioned, mid-terrace town house, situated within the attractive Woodlands development that lies just over half a mile from the town centre, and sea front of Budleigh Salterton. Number 5 enjoys one the best positions within the development, affords a southerly aspect and a sunny orientation for the garden with some lovely views over the adjacent green spaces to countryside beyond.

Internally, the accommodation is well planned, extremely bright and easy to maintain. Over recent years the property has been fully refurbished. The most notable improvements include the kitchen and bathroom suites which boast fixtures and fittings of the highest standard, all carpets and floor coverings were replaced with fresh decoration and new internal doors throughout.

Many of the principal rooms enjoy pleasant views over the gardens. On the ground floor there are French doors leading out on to the full width sun terrace at the front and a full width balcony at the rear. The kitchen has been particularly well designed and provides a breakfast bar which is ideal for less formal dining. On the first floor, all three bedrooms are light and welcoming, the main bedroom has a comprehensive range of built in wardrobes, whilst the insulated and boarded loft space is an additional convenience.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and enjoy a southerly orientation allowing the sun to be enjoyed throughout the day. There is ample private and visitors’ parking. The larger than average integral garage is situated under the property and offers a cold water tap, light and power points. The garage also has the benefit of a separate room at the back complete with large sink, water and electricity and could be utilised as a home gym or craft/hobby room. The property also has the freehold of the neighbouring garage which is also situated under this property (no power or water). This second garage is on a long lease to the owner of another property in Woodlands for a nominal rental fee.

Woodlands enjoys tranquility and convenience in equal measure, the local bus route passes at the entrance of the development whilst there is private access at the rear of Woodlands leading to Links Road which in turn provides a charming shortcut to both the East Devon Golf Club and coastal path. The coastal path is a most pleasant way to walk to Budleigh town centre and the seafront. The property is a charming main home, but will also appeal to those looking for a lock up and leave second home. The cost of maintaining the communal areas is shared equally between the residents of Woodlands and we understand each property owner currently pays approx. £100 per half year / £200 per annum. Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected. Council Tax Band E.
