The kitchen area is attractively fitted with solid wood worksurfaces, a range of matching base and wall units and incorporates a central island unit providing further storage. There is a Belfast style sink and a freestanding Range style cooker with cooker hood over, and space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

An adjoining utility room also accesses the rear garden and offers further storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and there is an office which forms part of the original garage. The spacious first floor landing gives access to the four double bedrooms, the master enjoying a lovely outlook and having a fully tiled en-suite comprising a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash basin. In addition to this is the family bathroom which also has a white suite and features a shower over the bath.

The property also benefits from having a PV system which generates electricity and also provides an income. A solar thermal system produces ‘free’ hot water to the thermal store/cylinder, the wood burning stove also connecting to this. The system is backed up by a standard bulk LPG tank and Boiler. This means lower energy bills due to being primarily renewable energy.

The garden being to the rear of the property, enjoys the lovely outlook and is predominantly laid with artificial grass and there are patio areas adjoining the rear of the house, along with a timber decked seating area and covered area with fitted hot-tub. A pathway to the side of the house links to the front driveway, which provides parking and gives access to the garage which has an electric roller door, light and power. In addition to the rear garden there is also a further area of garden which was originally an allotment and is of a good size. This is situated within a minutes-walk of the house at the bottom of Lower Griggs.

Enjoying a fine outlook over adjoining fields and beyond to the surrounding hills, this attractive, semi-detached house, has in more recent years been refurbished, which has included a substantial, two storey extension. Having an almost level site, the house enjoys a tucked away location towards the outskirts of the Sid Valley with views to the surrounding hills. The property is situated within walking distance of an entrance to The Byes, which is ideal for dog walking and offers a delightful riverside walk and cycle track leading to Sidmouth's town centre. The Byes also gives direct access, on foot, to Sidmouth College. Sidmouth’s town centre and seafront are within a mile and a half and offer an excellent range of facilities and services.
