Totnes is a bustling Elizabethan market town full of interest with a wide range of good local schools, shopping facilities and recreational pursuits including indoor swimming pool and boating opportunities on the River Dart.

Main line rail links to London Paddington are also located in Totnes.

Description - A fantastic un-listed property built in the 1890s offering spacious and well-proportioned accommodation over, currently, 2 floors.

This stone-faced property is located in the Bridgetown area of Totnes, a reasonably level walk over the River Dart into the High Street. With the addition of the garden, single garage and the parking space, this property will appeal to a vast variety of purchasers. It is worthy to note that the front road-facing part of the property is in a Conservation Area.

The sitting room is located at the front of the house, benefitting from a large bay window with working single glazed sash windows affording much light to flood into the south-facing property. This room has a lovely Victorian fireplace with tiled insets and a slate over mantle. There is space either side of the chimney breast for a bookcase or for a television cabinet with shelving over.
