Property Overview: Meadfoot is a detached property set in the grounds of a former gentleman's residence now split into apartments and now called Engadine but was once called Meadfoot. Built in the 1970's originally a vets with owners accommodation it has been trading as a guest house since the mid 1980's although the current owners no longer trade, this could easily be reversed. The current owners have also got planning permission for a single dwelling holiday let on 19-05-2022 (planning reference: 7/2022/5230) and is valid for three years from the date of permission.

The versatile accommodation is currently arranged with en-suite bedrooms.

The property is in first rate order with Upvc double glazed windows, gas fired central heating and there have been significant improvements made since the present owners bought the property in 2011. The result is that the new owner can enjoy continued trading for many years to come without significant investment or indeed create a substantial holiday let.

A particular delight is the living room with its dual aspect and large sliding patio doors to balcony, all overlooking the well kept mainly lawned gardens with decking area and feature pond (unearthed in 2014 and would have been the pond to the neighbouring gentleman's residence.

The property comprises on the ground floor of wide entrance hall with return staircase and access to loft space. Sitting Room which is a bright dual aspect room, with double sliding patio doors to balcony overlooking the garden. Dining Room, A bright dual aspect kitchen with 4 windows.

Conservatory. Bedrooms 1,2 & 3 all with en-suites. To the lower ground floor are a further 2 bedrooms both with en-suite. To the lower ground floor 3 more bedrooms can be found again both having en-suites and was previously used as the owners accommodation. A utility/laundry room can also be found on this floor.
