House For Sale £1,500,000
High Street, Topsham, Exeter EX3


Description
<b>Description</b><br /><br />Constructed in 1776 and once described as the 'best house in the town', Broadway House is a splendid Georgian residence, refurbished throughout, creating a fantastic family home with spacious adaptable accommodation of over 5000 sq ft. The house retains a large number of fine period features, notably an impressive wide staircase, sash windows with wooden shutters, fireplaces and decorative cornicing in a number of the rooms. On the ground floor, accessed from a grand entrance hall, is a drawing room and a stunning modern kitchen, open through to the dining and sitting room. In addition there is a room used as gym with shower room, and a very useful back kitchen, utility and boot room. There is also a guest WC and a gardener’s WC. From the kitchen and courtyard, stairs lead down to a lower ground floor annexe which could provide accommodation for a relative or au pair/staff, with a bedroom, shower room, kitchen and sitting room. Going back to the main accommodation, on the first floor are 3 large bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, plus a study/bedroom 7 with en-suite. On the second floor are 3 further large bedrooms, again all with en-suite facilities, plus a large home office with en-suite and a linen room. The second floor has lovely views to the front, across Topsham roof tops to the Haldon hills and glimpses of the river. A fixed ladder leads up to a large boarded attic with access to the roof. There is also access via a separate 'back' staircase from the rear of the house to the first floor, giving the potential to run part of the house as up to 5 guest rooms, to bring in very useful income if desired. Outside, the walled garden is mainly laid to lawn to the front and side, providing a secluded, sunny area with a patio, perfect for dining al-fresco. The rear courtyard parking area is accessed via electric gates from Station Road. There are also various, useful storage sheds.<br /><br /><b>Situation</b><br /><br />Topsham with its quay remains an estuary town of nationwide renown, reflected in its characterful period cottages and houses, perfectly blended with a range of more modern homes. Its excellent amenities range from a splendid individual-styled parade of shops, to churches, riverside restaurants, several pubs as well as a swimming pool, tennis club, yoga centre, a bowling and sailing club. There is a local school as well as several private schools in Exeter. Just 5 minutes from the M5, Topsham has a frequent bus service and a train link between Exmouth and Exeter city centre 3 miles away. Exeter St. Davids station is on the mainline to London Paddington about 2 hrs away. Exeter boasts a red brick university, cathedral, cultural centre and home to Exeter Chiefs rugby. David Lloyd, Pebblebed vineyard and Dart’s Farm shopping village are also close by. Exeter Airport flies to London City, other UK airports as well as many European destinations.<br /><br /><b>Directions</b><br /><br />On foot, from the Topsham office, turn left, walk to the end of Fore Street, cross over the mini-roundabout and Broadway House is on the right hand side.
The access to the parking/courtyard is off Station Road, so turn right at the mini-roundabout, then look to your left. The wooden gates to the parking area for Broadway House are on the left hand side, after a very short distance.<br /><br />
