South Lawn, Sidmouth £310,000

We are delighted to be marketing this stunning, one bedroom, ground floor apartment arguably situated in one of the most favourable positions within the development. The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation throughout, is immaculately presented and with a private patio and superb views to Trow Hill. Once inside a spacious hallway has a large walk-in storage cupboard and an additional cloaks/general storage cupboard. A good size sitting/dining room offers ample space for living and dining furniture and features a patio door opening onto a private patio area extending to meet the manicured, communal gardens and grounds beyond. Views from this room are simply stunning and look easterly to Trow Hill. A separate kitchen is accessed off which also enjoys the impressive views. There is a comprehensive range of base and eye level units with work surfaces and tiled splash backs. Built in appliances include a waist height oven, four ring ceramic hob with extractor hood, fridge/frost-free freezer, washer/dryer and a dishwasher. The bedroom is a generous double room with the useful addition of a walk-in wardrobe with bespoke fitted rails and shelving. The adjacent shower room is well appointed with a large shower cubicle, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail, vanity unit with storage and large mirror over.

The development has beautifully kept gardens with a resident’s terrace and private parking. Lockyer Lodge is Sidmouth’s newest, age exclusive development for the over 60s. Discerning buyers will be impressed by the light, bright and beautifully decorated communal areas, in particular the owners’ lounge and coffee bar with patio doors opening onto a paved terrace. Additional features include a Careline system monitored by the Lodge Manager during the day and 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year by the Careline team. The Careline system also features secure video entry, controlled via the resident’s telephone. A guest suite is also available for visiting friends and family. Residents are also entitled to use the guest suites at all Churchill retirement developments across the country.

Lockyer Lodge is located just a short stroll from the centre of Sidford where a convenience store/post office, a hairdresser, two popular pubs and a restaurant can be found whilst a large modern health centre and Waitrose are less than a mile away. Sidford is a pretty village on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Sidmouth considered to be the gateway to the beautiful landscape of the Jurassic Coast. Large parts of the town are designated Conservation Areas as is the centre of Sidford. The picturesque Regency town has an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants and amenities to include an indoor swimming pool, library, theatre, cinema and cottage hospital.
