House For Sale £420,000
Description This tastefully presented grade II Georgian semi-detached house retains many of the original features such as the lofty ceilings with ornate cornice work, stripped doors with stained glass and original staircase . Typical of the era the property has generous and elegant reception rooms, original sash windows complete with working shutters in the Sitting room. Our clients have sympathetically enhanced Trelawne with exterior redecoration and a rebuilt veranda as well as a recently fitted contemporary En Suite Bathroom.
The property stands in a convenient location for a host of highly regarded schools, both Torbay and Mount Stuart Hospitals and The Willows shopping district. Easy access can also be gained onto the new South Devon Highway linking Torquay to the regional city of Exeter and beyond.
Owner insight "We purchased 'Trelawne' in early 2019 with the aim of creating our family home for many years to come. We fell in love with the high ceilings and multiple period features which befit its 1845 heritage. We have greatly enjoyed being able to sympathetically modernise the majority of the property, internally and externally, and we are sad that we will not be able to see this through to completion. The private and enclosed rear garden enjoys sunshine all afternoon and early evening and provided a tranquil space during those lockdown summer afternoons.
We've enjoyed the convenient location, with the shops and seafront bars and restaurants only a short walk away. We'll be sorry to say goodbye to this beautiful house and the welcoming neighbours."
