Simon Scott-Nelson, director, Winkworth Exeter says:

“Bickwell House is the jewel in the crown of the Bickwell Valley. This wonderful property is secluded and set in one of the most sought after and respected addresses in East Devon. The accommodation is perfect for families and the land, which is in excess of 1.5 acres with rolling lawns and sea views, complements the quality of the property. These types of houses do not come to the market often and we are expecting a great deal of interest. ”

Bickwell House is situated in Bickwell Valley, which is a local conservation area, reflecting the high quality architecture and environment. To the west of Bickwell House are open fields protected by local landscape policies beyond which lies Sidmouths attractive 18 hole golf course. The multi level gardens and grounds are most outstanding and were carefully designed by the architect R.W. Sampson when the property was originally built. Many areas of the garden offer delightful differing views of the Sid Valley, the coast and surrounding countryside – all enjoying considerable privacy.  The property is within easy walking distance of Sidmouth Town Centre and Esplanade.
