FAYFIELD

Imagine waking up to incredible sea views. Such a breathtaking panorama demands an equally exceptional property. This spacious family home takes full advantage of the generous hillside plot, with planning permission for a further 4 bedroom property.

Perched high above the town, this imposing 1920’s family home is at one with its hillside location.

The views get better the higher you get, so you’ll love waking up to the far reaching coastal views from all three of its double bedrooms. The view from the conservatory, sun room and front terrace are just as enticing. That's because from the ground floor you can take in the wonderful mature gardens in the foreground.

The views and the location, which is within walking distance of the town centre and the beach, make this a superbly versatile home.

It could be your ideal coastal retreat. Whether you’re looking to put down roots in Dawlish or find a homely weekend getaway, it could be just right.

It could also be a popular holiday let - with the space to welcome large families or groups. The easy access to Dawlish station (with connections to London Paddington via Exeter St Davids) certainly won’t be overlooked.

The ground floor has two spacious reception rooms - both with sea views and with patio doors from the dining room leading to the sun room. There’s also a homely and welcoming kitchen / breakfast room with a traditional log burner as the focal point. The laundry room sits just off the kitchen and there’s a handy shower room on the ground floor - so you can wash off the sand after a day at the beach. The first floor has three double bedrooms, all with stunning sea views and there is a spacious family bathroom.

The property sits in generous grounds, with access from the quiet no-through road via a long sweeping driveway. At the top of the drive there’s a garage and carport, along with parking for several cars and delightful gardens to the front and rear.

If you are thinking of Fayfield as a family home, the property is just over 5 miles away from the "Good" Hazeldown Primary School is important and in the area Dawlish Community College in the town or Teignmouth Community School a little further along the coast.

The superb, spacious accommodation combined with the sought-after location will make this property popular with discerning families.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES

Fayfield is an imposing house on Fay Road and conveniently at the corner of Strand Hill. Fay Road, a short and quiet residential cul-de-sac, is just a convenient walk from the town centre and beaches of Dawlish. The property’s ideal elevated setting and sought-after location in a seaside resort town boast delightful views of the gardens, town and sea.

The property is steps away from commercial amenities on The Strand, the town’s major tourist spots and Dawlish railway station. Aside from quick access to plenty of restaurants, cafes, pubs and ice cream shops, other nearby attractions include The Lawn, mini-golf parks, Dawlish Library, Shaftesbury Theatre and Dawlish Museum. It’s also minutes away from local schools, churches and Dawlish Community Hospital.

The closest bus stop from Fayfield is on A379 or Exeter Road (Lanherne) where Country Bus, Stagecoach, and Hop bus routes provide trips around town and to Exeter, Dawlish Warren, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Torquay and Paignton. Dawlish railway station is conveniently on the Exeter–Plymouth line, also connected to London Paddington.

HISTORY

The property was built in 1929. Its previous owner, who acquired the property in 1981, was a professor in botany and planted an incredible variety of trees and shrubs, resulting in a beautifully mature lush landscaping of the surrounding gardens.
