Budleigh Salterton, Devon

Description

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway and set within beautifully landscaped grounds, Troodos is an attractive and immaculately presented detached family home. Thoughtfully extended and modernised by the current owner, the property effortlessly combines the charm of period features with the comfort and style of contemporary living, offering approximately 3,000 sq. ft of well-appointed accommodation.

The heart of this fabulous home is the stunning open-plan quality kitchen/family room. This impressive and sociable space includes a high-quality kitchen with sleek white-fronted base, wall and drawer units topped with granite work surfaces, a central island with seating and storage, a range cooker, and an American-style fridge freezer. The adjoining dining area features two sets of French doors leading out to a substantial patio terrace, perfect for entertaining. A delightful family area completes this space, centred around a wood-burning stove set into a stylish hearth, all framed by a striking picture window that captures panoramic views of the garden and the sea beyond.

Also on the ground floor, a separate sitting room with wood burner offers a perfect retreat, while a generous homework office is ideal for home working or could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, thanks to the adjacent shower room/utility area. Completing the ground floor is a practical and spacious boot room, providing direct access to the garden, a large storeroom, and the integral garage.

Upstairs, a bright, open landing leads to four generously sized bedrooms, three of which are positioned at the rear of the house to take full advantage of the breath-taking views across the garden, open fields, and sea views towards Sidmouth. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from a bay window, extensive fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room. The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom, offering both a bath and separate shower cubicle.

One of the standout features of Troodos are the beautifully landscaped and very private grounds, which extend to just over 1.5 acres and offer a superb sense of space with beautiful views along the coast.

A gravel driveway leads from the road to the front of the property, providing ample off-road parking and access to an attached double garage with workshop area. To the right of the driveway, there is a well-maintained lawned area that stretches back towards the road, incorporating a productive vegetable garden, greenhouse and shed.

Directly off the kitchen lies a spacious outdoor dining and seating terrace, thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the stunning views over the gardens and along the dramatic coastline. This area includes a dedicated BBQ space, making it ideal for entertaining.

A stone patio extends across the rear of the property, connecting to a second, more secluded seating area accessed from the study. Here, you'll find a perfect spot for a hot tub, sheltered and private, yet still enjoying views of the garden.

Two sets of steps descend from the patio to a large expanse of lawn, interspersed with mature trees and bordered by open countryside. To the northern boundary, the garden gives way to a charming woodland area, complete with a hidden pirate ship.

This truly exceptional garden offers a rare blend of formal landscaping, natural beauty, and imaginative features—perfect for families, gardeners, and anyone who enjoys outdoor living in a peaceful, coastal setting.
