House For Sale £700,000
Topsham, Exeter

Description

Located in the heart of Topsham on Fore Street, Great Paradise Cottage is a fascinating Grade II Listed house, originating from the late 15th century. Originally an open medieval hall, subsequently divided into three houses, this house occupies the central portion of the building and reportedly contains the original stone hearth and staircase.
From the street, a door and porch open into the sitting room containing the fantastic Beer stone hearth, now with a woodburner with the exposed brickwork above. From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor and a door leads through to a kitchen / dining room. Upgraded by the current owners, the kitchen is attractive and modern, with a range of fitted appliances and French doors to the garden.
On the first floor is a double bedroom and a lovely bright study/smaller bedroom/snug with double doors to a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden. There is also a separate WC and a shower room.
The stairs rise again to the top floor where there are two further double bedrooms, the larger of which is currently used as a studio, with windows to the front and rear where beautiful views of the Haldon Hills can be enjoyed. On this floor is a bathroom with WC and hand wash basin.
To the rear of the house is a stunning garden, a very good size for this part of Topsham. A walled, cobbled patio area leads from the rear of the house to a large lawn with mature trees and shrubs and a summerhouse. Towards the end of the garden is a raised vegetable patch with a shed and rear access to Follett Road.
