The Bays

The property is a eye catching double-fronted Georgian family home, conveniently located around 500 meters from Budleigh seafront
Rich in character, the property retains an abundance of original features including sash windows with working shutters, panelled doors, intricate plasterwork, traditional fireplaces and charming reclaimed and cedar wood floorboards.

These heritage details are seamlessly blended with tasteful modern enhancements, creating a home that is both timeless and highly functional.
Approached via a gated driveway, the property offers ample off-street parking for several vehicles and access to a detached coach house garage with workshop and loft storage above. A cobbled pathway leads through to the beautifully enclosed rear garden, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Internally, the accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged over two floors. This grade II listed home enjoys a welcoming entrance hallway, complete with original detailing, sets the tone for the rest of the home. The principal reception rooms are both elegant and inviting, featuring traditional fireplaces and large sash windows that flood the spaces with natural light. A delightful snug to the rear enjoys direct access to the garden, making it an ideal space for relaxation or informal entertaining.

The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home — a stylish and sociable space fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster dual fuel range, and a central island unit. Complementing this area are a useful utility room, walk-in pantry with internal and external access, and a separate boiler room. A cloakroom/WC at the rear of the property completes the ground floor accommodation.

A period staircase with a mahogany handrail rises to the first floor, illuminated by a striking arched window that enhances the sense of light and space. The principal bedroom and second double bedroom, both positioned to the front, benefit from contemporary en-suite shower rooms. Two further bedrooms offer flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or use as a study or dressing room. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a four-piece suite, including a bath, separate shower, bidet, and fitted vanity units.

Outside the gardens are a particular feature. To the front, a lawned garden with mature shrubs and borders provides an attractive approach, complemented by a wood and glass greenhouse. The rear garden is private and landscaped and is enclosed by stone walls, offering a high degree of privacy rarely found in such a central location. Designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind, it features lawned areas, well-stocked borders, paved terraces, a pergola-covered seating area, and additional social spaces including a fire pit area.

The detached coach house, complete with power supply and additional loft storage, adds further versatility and appeal.
