The kitchen is equipped with ample storage, granite worktops, an integrated fridge, dishwasher, and a large Aga with a gas hob. A separate utility room provides additional storage, an electric oven, a gas hob, and space for extra appliances if required.

      The property boasts an impressive main sitting room, perfect for daytime and evening use, with large windows that flood the room with light. This room features a bay window and French doors with views towards Sidmouth and the sea beyond, an attractive gas fireplace, and oak parquet flooring. The ground floor also includes a double bedroom (with an en suite shower room) that is perfect for guests and a separate cloakroom/WC.

      An absolute feature of the property is a stylish central staircase with a glass balustrade that adds a contemporary touch which wraps around a bespoke glass lift that accesses all floors of the property, streaming light throughout the house. The first floor has four bedrooms that all enjoy superb and contrasting views, with the principal bedroom featuring a large bay and access to a balcony overlooking the coastline. The first floor is completed by a family bathroom, and a separate shower room.

      The second floor features a newly designed living area to maximize the incredible views, with French doors opening onto a spacious balcony, offering panoramic views of the Sid Valley and the far stretched coastline beyond. This floor includes built-in cupboards, a sink unit, and access to a sewing room. The floor could easily be converted to a principal bedroom with en suite, if so desired. The house, decorated in neutral tones, benefits from gas-fired central heating and uPVC double-glazed windows.

      The garden of Windgates is a true highlight and something to really enjoy, offering approximately two thirds of an acre of a feature expansive lawn, surrounded by mature flower beds and borders and magnificent views.

Additional features include a large greenhouse and vegetable garden, a fruit cage, and an orchard with a variety of fruit trees. There is plenty of useful garden storage with timber sheds.
