Description

An elegant, Edwardian, detached family home featuring light and spacious accommodation with high ceilings and attractive period details, including ornate ceiling cornicing, fireplaces and new, double glazed, sash windows.

From the welcoming hallway, the ground floor boasts a spacious drawing room which can comfortably accommodate both a large family dining table and generous sitting area gathered around the attractive fireplace. Two sets of full height, glass double doors lead directly out onto a substantial, south-facing balcony with glazed screens and stainless steel balustrading, making the most of the glorious views across the gently sloping gardens towards the Yealm Estuary.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of storage in elegant fitted units, with ample space for a table, integrated appliances and an Economy 7 Electric aga. A charming, glazed area at the rear, leads to the back door and provides additional seating with a clever concealed drinks cupboard. Also on the ground floor, you will find a useful utility room, downstairs WC, and a cloakroom with side door access.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom currently utilised as a study. The primary bedroom benefits from a dressing room with fitted cupboards and en-suite shower room. Bedrooms Two and Three provide built in cupboards. There is a large family bathroom room on the mezzanine floor which provides both bath and separate shower. The large loft is accessible from the first floor landing with pull down loft ladder, and has fantastic potential to convert to further accommodation, subject to planning permission.

The property is screened from the road and is accessed down a flight of steps, bordered by attractive, terraced rockery, to the front door. A large garage provides secure off road parking at street level and a potting shed/workshop underneath. There is additional cellar/storage space accessed at the side.

The gardens at the rear are south-facing and include a balcony for al fresco dining, a well-maintained lawn and borders of hedgerow, fencing and mature trees.
