Features and description
We are delighted to offer for sale 'Greenbanks', a most attractive double fronted and detached 1930's house which has been the subject of recent and substantial modernisation and improvement works. The house sits in a slightly elevated position off Beach Road and so takes full advantage of the stunning views. There is convenient access to Woolacombe beach.
Only when viewed can the full feel of the house be truly appreciated and we recommend a viewing at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment. The present owners have changed what was a run of the mill house into what is now a home which is sure to appeal to those looking for a property offering space, light and comfort. The house faces south with views to the hills and countryside opposite. The views then swing around to the south west and takes Woolacombe Sands beach, Morte Bay and to Morte Point and the ocean beyond. In all, a stunning vista!
The house has been modernised, upgraded and improved and now benefits gas central heating, attractive uPVC double glazing, stripped and relaid roof, new chimneys and re wiring. The bright and airy rooms flow nicely and have been tastefully decorated and fitted to a high standard and as soon as you step foot into the house you immediately feel at home. There is access into Greenbanks from both sides, however, it is from the front that really gives the best impression. From the ample parking area, you ascend well lit stairs which open onto the huge sun terrace and BBQ area which takes full advantage of the quite outstanding views. From here there are french doors which take you into the double aspect sitting room.
Behind the house is a building plot which can be bought along with the house. This has detailed permission for a detached 2 bedroom chalet style home. Planning No. 76928. PRICE WITH THE PLOT IS £1,700,000. Therefore, this offers an opportunity to build for a dependent relative or for an income.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a side porch and entrance hall. This opens to the double aspect sitting room which has a most attractive feature fireplace, surround and hearth. The bay window takes in the whole view and doors lead out on to the sun deck. There are double doors which take you through to the dining room with a corner wood burner and also a bay window and view. This opens to the kitchen/ breakfast room which is very well fitted with extensive wall and base units with marble work surfaces. There is further marble worksurfaces with space for a range and a breakfast bar. Excellent use of ceiling downlights and cupboard underlighting gives the kitchen and dining room very comfortable feel. To the rear of the house is a very useful utility room with a cloakroom off.
The stairs and landing have attractive bannisters with glass balustrades and, with the tall landing window, gives a light and airy feel. There are 4 bedrooms and a very well appointed family bathroom and a separate, similarly appointed shower room. All the bedrooms take full advantage of the superb rural, coastal and ocean views.
The house is approached from the front, from Beach Road. Here there is ample parking for many cars and vehicles. There is ample turning space and a lawned garden area. Immediately to the front of the house is a very large patio sun deck and BBQ area with a maturing palm tree. Here there is stainless steel and glass balaustrating. There is an area ideal to dine Al Fresco and then enjoy the benefits of a hot tub. Here there is a covered food preparation area with slate work services and a sink, a shower, store shed and bin store. There is a raised decked area where everyone can lounge and enjoy the view, having just eaten. Further, there is a side deck and lower deck area where those wanting a quieter evening can retire to and enjoy a glass of wine.
'Greenbanks' is a very attractive 1930's detached house built to traditional cavity construction with pleasing re rendered elevations with attractive red brick reveals to the front door and red brick plinth. A particular feature is the red clay tiled roof. There is also a narrow veranda with posts, which spans the whole width of the front of the house and this, too has a pitched red clay tiled roof. It stands in a prominent position off Beach Road, set up and away from the road so it takes full advantage of the views. There is a pavement to the front of the car parking which provides a safe walk down to the village and the beach, so there is no need to drive and pay to park.
