Designed by architects for their own occupation, the property features the very latest heating technology and climate management, resulting in an energy efficiency rating of A but with the charm and attention to detail of a Georgian home. The accommodation spans almost 2,500 square feet. The front elevation with its portico entrance and broad bay window set the tone of the house and once inside, a wide, turning staircase and high ceilings give an immediate feel of Georgian grandeur. A large kitchen, dining and living room is triple aspect with the bay window and patio doors looking south westerly down the private garden. This beautifully appointed room has a limestone floor and bespoke kitchen, with a large preparation island and breakfast bar, a Range and pantry, all complimented with quartz surfaces. Across the hallway, a separate sitting room has dual aspect windows, again looking down the garden and with a fireplace, high skirting boards and deep coving.

A large, bespoke fitted utility/boot room offers valuable, practical space with copious storage and slate, flagstone flooring. Returning to the light, bright hallway, there is a ground floor WC that has not been spared attention to detail, with panelling and Burlington sanitary ware. On the first floor, all rooms have particularly high ceilings creating a light and spacious feel. The main bedroom is dual aspect with an outlook over the garden with a dressing room and an impressive, Burlington en suite with marble tiles, roll top bath and large shower. There are two further en suite bedrooms and a fourth double bedroom.

The house stands to the rear of its secluded plot; the front elevation enjoying a south westerly aspect. A central pathway is flanked by two areas of lawn garden with patio areas designed to make the most of the morning and evening sunshine. A low wall and gate enclose these formal gardens and lead to a productive garden area with numerous vegetable patches and a greenhouse. A large garage also been built using the SIPS, high thermal performance construction and measures 4m x 9.15m. An adjoining storage room measures 2.9m x 3.85m. Paddle boarders and dog walkers will enjoy the benefit of an external hot water shower and basin.

The house is located at the bottom of Questant Lane, where a driveway provides ample off road parking and turning. Questant Lodge is located at the entrance and is currently arranged as a one bedroom holiday let unit with a spacious office above. In all, the property spans 900 square feet. The holiday let is self-contained, beautifully presented with a delightful enclosed lawn garden. Questant Lane lies between Sidmouth and Fortescue, just one mile from the town centre and seafront and less than a quarter of a mile on foot from The Byes and River Sid.
