A substantial detached family home, with five bedrooms, a sun lounge, sun terrace, an enclosed garden, double garage, carport and parking, in a convenient location, close to the beaches, shops and amenities, in the seaside town of Dawlish.

Originally two bungalows, constructed in the 1960's, they were later converted in 2011 to form one extremely spacious dwelling.

Immaculately presented throughout, with fresh, light and neutral décor and with no expense spared on top quality fixtures and fittings, this is a truly stunning and luxurious property, with a Mediterranean influence and an extraordinary feeling of light and space throughout the contemporary living area.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged with the living area to one end and the bedrooms at the other, three with en suite bathrooms and the remaining two sharing a Jack and Jill shower room. There are two separate gas central heating systems, double-glazing and low energy lighting throughout, satellite TV points to nearly every room and photovoltaic panels on the roof generate electricity, helping reduce the running costs.

An impressive entrance hallway, at the centre of the property has beautiful solid-oak flooring which continues throughout much of the living area and oak steps lead up to glazed oak doors on either side.

A fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room is modern and elegant with oak flooring, white solid-resin worktops providing an abundance of work surfaces, complete with under-cabinet feature lighting and an extensive range of top quality fitted units in gloss-white, providing plentiful cupboard space, with innovative storage solutions including articulated carousel shelving and a draw for sorting the recycling. A matching island provides additional storage and worktop space and the excellent cooking facilities comprises a built-in fan-oven with a microwave combination oven above, along with a wide induction hob on the island. There is also an integrated larder fridge and dishwasher. The dining area has plenty of room for eight or ten around a table, perfect for a dinner party or a family celebration and there is a double power socket in the floor under the table. Sliding patio doors fill the room with light and lead out onto the sun terrace and have electrically powered security shutters.

The living room is extensive, flooded with light from sliding patio doors to the sun terrace, also with powered security shutters. A quirky and contemporary wood-burning stove, sat on a granite hearth, makes a lovely feature and focal point for the room.

Arched, glazed oak doors lead into a spacious sun lounge which has a tiled floor with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors which open completely to extend the inside space outside onto a veranda, with a stainless-steel balustrade overlooking the pond and garden.

A hallway from the kitchen has a convenient cloakroom, with a WC and basin and a lobby has a door with shutters to a rear porch, where there is power, lights and doors to the rear of the property and to the ground surrounding the bedrooms. Another door off the lobby leads into a fabulous second fully equipped kitchen which has solid-granite worktops, stylish and modern tiled splashbacks, plenty of cupboard space, a five-burner gas hob with an extractor hood above, space beneath the worktops for a washing machine and other appliances and a window to the garden with a security shutter.

At the other end of the property is the master bedroom, a spacious double, carpeted and filled with light from dual-aspect windows, from where there are lovely views over rooftops to the surrounding countryside. There are two fitted double wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, modern and elegant with a bath, a separate shower, a WC and basin and a chrome heated towel rail. There are three further ground-floor bedrooms, all doubles, one with an en suite shower room and two bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill shower room, one of which is currently used as a study, with a fitted desk, perfect for those working from home.

The spacious hallway has a cupboard containing a hot water cylinder and a turning staircase leading to the first floor, with a handy storage cupboard beneath.

Upstairs, the landing is flooded with light from two Velux windows and there is a spacious double bedroom, with a vaulted ceiling, a built-in wardrobe area and an en suite bathroom with a durable vinyl floor and part-tiled walls, containing a bath with a shower attachment, a WC and a basin, with natural light from the third velux skylight. There is additional storage in eaves cupboards accessed from the bedroom and landing.

Outside, remote-controlled electric gates provide secure entry to the property, where a tarmac driveway provides parking for at least five cars, in front of the remote-controlled door which opens to reveal a huge carport, where there is under-cover parking for at least three cars. To the side, beneath the property, a carpeted and heated double garage with another remote-controlled door.

The garden is perfect for entertaining guests with several areas in which to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

A stunning sun terrace is private and spacious and has a welcome shaded area with arches making an unusual design feature; a fabulous venue for a family barbecue or for sunbathing. A room at one end, is ideal for storing the sun loungers and has power for a fridge/freezer, perfect keeping the cold drinks flowing.

A terrace of timber decking, with a timber balustrade, overlooks the fish pond and is perfect for outside dining or sharing a bottle of wine with loved ones. There is a walled courtyard garden at the rear of the property, accessed from the rear porch, ideal for unwinding with a book or for afternoon tea perhaps.

The pond is huge, with lily pads, vegetation and several inhabitants including frogs, toads, newts and a number of fish. A timber walkway encircles it, with deck-lights and it is fed by a quirky hand-pump style water feature.

The rear of the garden has sleeper-edged tiers of shrubs, plants and flowers and steps lead down from the veranda and terrace of decking, to the rear of the carport and garage.

For convenience there are four outside taps for the watering and feature lighting throughout.
