Situated on the edge of The Warberries, Braddons Lodge is believed to have originally been the Coach House and Stables to the neighbouring villa, now providing a tastefully renovated and INDIVIDUAL DETACHED HOME, set around a private part brick paved stable yard, with further walled garden and workshop/store. Set behind a discrete façade the property provides spacious, well-planned accommodation with the large sitting room complimented by a cosy snug lounge and a large kitchen breakfast room, providing a feature to the ground floor, with four good size bedrooms and three bathrooms situated to the first floor. Gated from the road the property also provides ample parking.

Located a short stroll from the town centre shops, waterside restaurants and Princess Theatre, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle, the property would be ideally suited to those seeking a home in the heart of the English Riviera or a second home within walking distance of all main amenities and Tor Abbey Sands.

OWNER INSIGHT

"We first saw Braddons Lodge for sale 7 years ago and instantly fell in love. The house was in need of some fairly extensive updating, but the position and the feel of the property, with its stone walled garden and coach house feel really attracted us to the house. We designed the house as our family home, with each of the main bedrooms having it’s own bathroom and the kitchen having a large dining table for us enjoy family meals together. This gave our children the space and privacy they needed to live at home whilst attending college and university. The location has been perfect, close enough to walk into town or to the beach, but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and quiet home. Our children have now flown the nest permanently and so we have decided to downsize."
