previous price £1,200,000

A deceptively spacious and substantial detached house with outline planning permission to build a new dwelling within the grounds whilst being situated conveniently close to the heart of this desirable coastal town.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial family home close to the town centre with a range of excellent amenities within walking distance including a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, cafes /bars and restaurants along with the esplanade/seafront. Major roads are accessible providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter and the M5.

This wonderful home was built in the 1920s and substantially extended in more recent years to provide a large family home with deceptively spacious, well proportioned accommodation briefly comprising; reception hall with large cloakroom W.C. The spacious sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and a feature focal fireplace, along with open access to the equally well proportioned dining room with patio doors leading to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with traditional oak effect cupboards and drawers, both at base and eye level whilst incorporating modern appliances. There are ample work surfaces for food preparation which extends to a breakfast bar for informal dining, allowing family and friends to cook, dine and socialise together. There is also a family room and a good sized office which would lend itself as a ground floor bedroom if ever desired.

On the first floor are five double bedrooms with three enjoying the benefit of an en suite facility. The master bedroom is a wonderfully spacious, dual aspect room with lovely views across the town towards Salcombe Hill. There is a family bathroom, along with a separate W.C. A second staircase leads to the large loft space which lends itself to be converted into at least two further bedrooms if ever desired. The house is fully double glazed and has a modern gas central heating system.

The total plot extends to over a quarter of an acre and outline planning has been granted to erect a separate new dwelling (planning reference number 20/2062/out) this would lend itself as a home for relatives or as a going concern. From a development opportunity, the house would also lend itself to be converted into three individual apartments, subject of course to the necessary planning permission/consents.

The property is currently approached via an attractive brick paved pathway providing off road parking for several vehicles and there is a detached double garage with light and power. The gardens wrap around the house and are mainly laid to lawn, providing plenty of room for children to run and play with bordering flower beds and a patio area to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.
