The details
Step into Front Lodge, a charming former gate house on the private Sidbury Estate where vibrant interiors meet soothing East Devon scenery. The lodge looks out across rolling fields and wildlife-strewn parkland, giving you that gentle sense of escape from the moment you arrive. It’s a wonderfully peaceful base for families, couples or friends seeking comfort, colour and countryside calm a short drive from the Jurassic Coast.
Inside, the decor brings the outdoors in with bold country hues and playful design choices that feel fresh yet timeless. The cosy living room, dressed in warm plum tones, invites slow mornings by the window and relaxed evenings curled up on the gorgeous boucle sofa. The kitchen continues the uplifting palette with sage greens, floral accents and stylish monochrome flooring. Here you’ll find everything you need for fuss-free cooking, including an Aga, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and a Nespresso machine for those essential first coffees of the day. A handy galley utility space keeps muddy boots, beach gear and wet coats neatly tucked away, while a traditional pantry provides plenty of room for your supplies.
Sleeping arrangements are both thoughtful and flexible. The ground-floor king size bedroom is ideal for those who prefer step-free access, while upstairs the second king size room enjoys peaceful village views. The dedicated toddler bedroom adds an extra dose of charm for little ones, with the option of a trundle bed available upon request. A family bathroom with shower over bath completes the upstairs layout, perfect for rinsing off sandy feet after days exploring the coast.
Outside, a small secure courtyard leads to your private garden area — a lovely spot for alfresco lunches or an evening BBQ in warmer months. Wildlife wanders freely around the estate, so expect regular visits from deer, pheasants and birds. Public footpaths lead straight from the village towards Sidbury Castle and East Hill Strips, offering easy rambles with spectacular views.
Just a short stroll away, Sidbury village provides a butcher, convenience store and welcoming pub. Meanwhile, Sidmouth’s Victorian seafront, boutique shops and excellent restaurants await just ten minutes south. Explore fossil-filled beaches at Charmouth and Lyme Regis, paddleboard at Exmouth or spend a day in Exeter browsing shops, visiting museums or kayaking along the canal. Front Lodge places all the best of East Devon at your fingertips.
