--- Aurora is a magnificent Grade II* listed period property nestled in a prime location off the Sidmouth seafront, offering easy access to the town's vibrant centre. This architecturally significant building, which has been meticulously restored in a 2-year project overseen by English Heritage, boasts a storied past as the summer retreat of the renowned author JRR Tolkien, where he penned parts of 'The Lord of the Rings'. The second-floor apartment features spacious, elegantly proportioned rooms with expansive windows that frame stunning sea views from every main room. The apartment's heart is a grand sitting/dining room with a magnificent fireplace, leading to an inner hall. The kitchen is well-equipped with high-end Neff appliances and a practical utility cupboard with space for laundry. There are two generous double bedrooms with wardrobes, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Residents enjoy exclusive gravelled parking, and the property is within a short level walk to the picturesque seafront, beach, and a variety of cafés, shops, and restaurants. Sidmouth itself is a charming Regency town with attractive beaches, nestled within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town offers an array of schools and excellent medical facilities, including a surgery, small hospital, and a modern health centre. Transport links are robust with regular bus services to Exeter and Honiton, which has rail connections to London Waterloo. Exeter, with its international airport and M5 motorway access, is just 16 miles away.
