Description
This elegant Grade II listed Georgian House is located in a prominent position only a stone`s throw from the centre of Buckfastleigh and local amenities. The property boasts 4/5 double bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, a private courtyard garden to the rear and refined garden to the front with original verandah. There is a wealth of character features throughout the property, including a turned wood staircase, original fireplaces, ornate plasterwork, and wooden sash window with original shutters. The property has been kept in wonderful condition by the current owners and has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
On entering you are greeted with an impressive reception room. This room benefits from wooden flooring and a decorative fireplace with marble hearth. There is also a floor to ceiling sash window with shutters, which floods the room with light.
To the right-hand side is the living room; this room benefits from two floor to ceiling sash windows, filling the room with light. From here there is an outlook onto the pretty front garden and verandah. This room has a wonderful amount of character, including wooden floorboards, ornate plasterwork, an open fire and built in glass fronted display cabinet.
At the rear of the property is the dining room, kitchen, and fifth bedroom/study.
The dining room is a good size and has decorative panelling around. There is plenty of space for a large 6 8-seater dining table, along with freestanding furniture. From here there is a rear porch, perfect for coats and shoes, which provides access to the rear courtyard garden.
The kitchen has a range of floor and wall mounted units with a wooden work top. There is space in the original fireplace alcove for a gas fired range cooker, along with room for fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There may be potential to extend the kitchen through to the 5th bedroom/study increasing its size quite substantially (this would be subject to necessary consents).
Past the dining room and kitchen is the 5th bedroom/home office space. This room is very versatile and could have a variety of uses, including playroom, downstairs bedroom or home office, which is what the current owners use it for. There is also a good amount of understairs storage.
The beautiful original turned wood handrail, and staircase leads to the first floor. This floor is bathed in light from two large original skylight windows spanning the open landing.
On this floor there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom sits at the front of the property and can easily accommodate a super king bed. It benefits from wooden floorboards, original coving, an original built-in storage cabinet and decorative fireplace. Along with this there is an adjoining dressing room, which the current owners use as an additional home office space.
The second double is very similar to the master in size and features. It also benefits from large built-in wardrobes.
The two slightly smaller doubles sit at the back of the property and have a good level of privacy. Both can comfortably accommodate double beds and a range of freestanding furniture.
The two bathrooms both have modern white suites. The larger of the bathrooms comes with a shower over the bath, with a walk-in shower cubicle in the other.
Outside at the rear of the property is a good-sized courtyard garden. It has plenty of space for garden furniture, as well as pots and plants should you desire and is surrounded by mature shrubs, with outdoor tap and garden store. The courtyard garden is southwest facing, so benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine. To the front of the property is a beautiful garden, which has been planted with a variety of shrubs and plants, giving the patio and veranda area a level of privacy, this area benefits from morning and afternoon sunshine.
This property has an abundance of history running through it, it is presented beautifully and has plenty of space for a large family. A viewing is highly recommended.
