A new self-storage facility has opened in Sidmouth, offering residents a place to store belongings. 

The purpose-built storage facility occupies the old Potburys' auction rooms on Temple Street. The space has been extensively refitted and now contains 27 self-storage units ranging from 175sq ft to 15sq ft. Short-term and long-term lets are available.

Owner of the new self-storage centre, Paddy Lee, Director of Potburys, said: "We're very excited to bring a new self-storage facility to Sidmouth. We know from the removals arm of our business that there's a strong demand for secure, dry and clean away-from-home storage.

 "Our new units provide the perfect space for storing items during a house move or offer a longer-term solution when there isn't enough space at home."

The storage units have secure, controlled access (8am–5pm, Monday to Friday) and onsite parking.

In addition, external lighting, an intruder alarm, and CCTV provide site security.

Potburys is also a member of the Self Storage Association, which means it must adhere to strict operating principles and the Association's best practice guidelines.
