Description

A beautifully presented early 18th Century house which has been the amalgamation of two cottages to create this wonderful, double fronted family home laid out over three floors, which has been refurbished over recent years with great attention to detail.
Set back from the road and entered through a cottage garden into the entrance porch with stone floors leading into the hallway and under stairs storage. The sitting room, which is off the central hallway, is a lovely cosy room with sash windows to the front, under floor heating, stone floors and a inglenook fireplace with wood burner. The study, with fitted shelving and storage units is off the sitting room and is a lovely light room overlooking the garden. The utility room has a guest W/C, housing the gas boiler and plumbing for a washer dryer, is located off the study. On the other side of the entrance hall is a good sized dining room which could comfortably accommodate seating for twelve, with a large inglenook fireplace and wood burner. Leading through to the Kitchen, which is beautifully designed with a range of bespoke wooden wall and base units, granite work tops and integrated appliances, as well as a Gas Aga.
The first-floor landing has a lovely Georgian hallway window, providing natural light. On one side of the landing is the principal bedroom suite with window seats and views to the estuary, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a beautiful bathroom which is fully tiled with under floor heating, a large enclosed bath and walk in power shower. The other first floor bedroom also has an en suite bathroom which again, is immaculately presented with enclosed bath and walk in shower. The bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and sash windows with views towards the Estuary. On the second floor is another beautifully presented, double bedroom with exposed timbers and en suite shower room with walk in shower, as well as a range of sliding fitted wardrobes, creating a dressing area with a Velux window providing natural light. A further bedroom, which is currently used as an office, is another bright room being dual aspect with lovely exposed wood trusses.
Outside there is access to the side of the house via double gates leading to a rear patio with raised flower and shrub borders. A right of way across the neighbouring property leads to a superb hidden garden with a patio seating area and views to the Estuary. The garage has power and light with electric doors and fits a car comfortably.

Agents Note:
We are advised by the current owner that there is a historic right of way over the rear garden to the neighbouring property.

Situation

Topsham 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, restaurants, several pubs, a school, as well as a bowling and sailing club. There is also a frequent bus service and a train link between Exmouth and Exeter. The town was listed at the time of Domesday as 'Topeshant' and flourished as an estuary port for nigh on five centuries. Topsham also became world-renowned for ship-building reaching its zenith between 1750 and 1870.
