This attractive cottage is of some considerable age and has in recent years been the subject of tasteful and sympathetic modernisation. The cottage retains many delightful features that include exposed ceiling beams, an inglenook fireplace and 'cottage style' windows and doors. The property is set in an attractive mature garden that enjoys a southerly aspect and privacy.

Mead has the benefit of oil fired central heating, a modern kitchen and white bathroom and shower room fittings. Adjoining the sitting room there is an attractive semi-circular sun room to take advantage of the southerly aspect over the garden. Approached over a shared private drive from Fortescue Road, there is a parking area and a detached single garage.

Fortescue is a popular residential area a little over a mile from the town centre. Nearby there is 'The Byes', a delightful riverside walk to both Sidford and Sidmouth.

DIRECTIONS From the Sidmouth TEAM office continue up the High Street and straight over the mini-roundabout. Opposite the Radway Cinema turn right into Salcombe Road and continue over the bridge following the road around to the left. Continue for approximately three quarters of a mile, passing Sid Abbey on the left hand side and continue, passing Griggs Lane on the right. The entrance to the property is almost immediately on the left hand side, however we suggest that you park in Fortescue Road and enter the property through the adjoining wrought iron pedestrian gate.
