Property description

Greenbanks in Hilltop Road is a substantial and characterful Victorian, detached residence which sits in an enviable elevated position within this sought after area of First Raleigh in Bideford.

Offering six/seven bedrooms the accommodation is particularly spacious expanding to over 3500SQFT (not including the garage). With two bedrooms positioned in the Annexe which houses its own kitchen and washing area this property is ideal for multigenerational living, growing family or a perfect Airbnb or holiday let.

The property itself is very impressive with typical victorian period features running though its design and sits centrally in its plot with wrap around gardens to all four elevations.

Approached via a tarmac path to the side/front door and an enclosed veranda the main door leads into an entrance lobby area with a fantastic stained glass internal door leading into the main hall.

Expanding across the depth of the home a wonderful staircase leads up to the upper floors with its original doors separating the ground to the main central hall with a downstairs cloakroom located underneath.

To the immediate right is the living room which is blessed with two broad windows and a large fireplace creating a fantastic focal point to the room. It is worth mentioning that all the reception rooms have either large bays or duel aspect windows flooding light into each space. The other side of the hall is a separate sitting room, which could be used as an additional quiet area or dining room for more formal dining occasions. The third reception room is behind the lounge and features another focal fire place and is currently being used as a study.

The kitchen breakfast room is also positioned off the hall and again is impressive in its dimensions. Offering a perfect social and entertaining space for all of the family the kicthen area has a range of built-in storage cupboards, inset sink and drainer, space for a cooker and a wooden preparation area. There is space for a dining table as well as a small seating area set into an inglenook chimney breast.

Continuing upstairs and four of the five bedrooms are positioned off the landing with a second set of stairs leading up to the attic bedroom and eaves storage cupboard. Each bedroom is a spacious double with many benefitiing from double height ceilings and period features and is complmented by two separate bathrooms.

The annex can be self catering with its own separate entrance, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. This is a hugely adaptable and ideal for an investment or a dependent relative or some teenage independence.

Heading back outside and there is a driveway with room to park four / five vehicles. The lawns circumvent around the property which is shielded by high level privet hedges with a timber shed positioned towards the rear. In total the plot sits on just over 1/3rd acre.
