A very well presented two-bedroom ground floor apartment with stunning sea and coastal views situated in an elevated position in the heart of Seaton.
Washington House, with origins believed to date back to 1850, commands a prominent, elevated position on Castle Hill with uninterrupted sea views. The grounds are surrounded by a stone wall and include a lovely communal lawned area to the front. The building itself is very well maintained and presented throughout and the apartment benefits from uPVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating.
Central to Seaton, the property is situated in the heart of the town, a stone’s throw from the beach and seafront, and a short walk to the local shops.
Since purchasing the property around nine years ago, the current vendor has made improvements throughout with redecoration internally including a new bathroom and kitchen complete with appliances. The property has also had new windows and a new kitchen door, a new gas central heating boiler and replacement to most radiators, installation of underfloor heating in the bathroom, tiled flooring and walls to the bathroom and new carpets.
Linking back to its Victorian roots, the property has plentiful character including high ceilings, decorative architraves and picture railings.
A communal entrance hall leads to the private front door to number 2 alongside a private, lockable cupboard which houses the consumer unit, electric meter and coat hooks.
On entering, doors lead to all rooms from the spacious hallway along with three good sized storage cupboards. The living room is a spacious room with central feature fireplace with electric inset fire and a fitted window seat with window above showcasing the delightful sea, coastal and seafront views beyond.
The kitchen is contemporary and fully fitted with a range of matching base and wall units, matching granite worktops and splashback and sink. There is a built-in electric oven, Neff ceramic hob, extractor fan, integrated undercounter fridge and integrated washing machine, alongside a separate cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler. A door leads outside to the side of Washington house.
The property benefits from two bedrooms- bedroom 1 is a sizeable double with fitted wardrobes and bedroom 2 is a smaller single room currently utilised as a dining room.
There is a modern shower room which is fully tiled with walk in shower, concealed cistern WC and vanity unit with wash hand basin.
