The area is surrounded by East Devon Countryside & access to Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton & Exmouth Beaches all a short drive away.
The A30 & M5 are also close by giving easy access to Exter City & Plymouth & Northwards to Bristol.
Set off Sowton Lane the Lodge House is accessed just off the side lane through the gate pillars. Here you walk into the main Living Room with central log burner fireplace & bay window overlooking the Gardens. From this room you walk on through into the Dining Room, again with bay window overlook Sowton Lane hedgerow. Stairs to the first-floor accommodation and access directly into the Kitchen. The central internal wall is the characterful dressed limestone. The Kitchen has a range of cupboards, work surfaces, sink/drainer, space for fridge/freezer, electric cooker point, plumbing for a dishwasher and a large window overlooking the Gardens. A barn style door leads to the side. Here just off the Kitchen is a Utility area, giving extra space.
The first floor has two Spacious Bedrooms, lovely views & a modern Shower Room. Plenty of natural light.
The Gardens wrap around the property. Private enclosed offering a blank canvas to be re-modelled, design & landscaped. A double Garage with storage above sits to the rear of the plot with Off Road Parking in front.
