THE PROPERTY
Originally constructed as a private residence for John Pethick, a prominent local businessman and former Mayor of Plymouth, Down Park House is a fine example of 19th-century architecture. Renovated over the past three
years, the property now combines timeless character with contemporary comfort, showcasing exquisite period features such as tall ceilings, ornate cornicing, picture rails, bay windows and original fireplaces, alongside
high-quality modern fixtures and fittings.
Extending to nearly 5,500 sq. ft., the accommodation is wonderfully adaptable,offering the potential for a grand family home with up to eight bedrooms, or a principal four/five-bedroom residence with a self-contained three-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or as a lucrative
letting opportunity.
Approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, the property enjoys a highdegree of privacy and is set within south-facing gardens and grounds of approximately 1.1 acres. The grounds include a triple garage, a charming veranda, and a raised deck with inset hot tub, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
Down Park House is arranged over three floors and entered via a welcomingporch into a magnificent reception hall, complete with a sweeping staircase. The ground floor offers a wealth of beautifully appointed living spaces.
The open-plan drawing room is a particular highlight, featuring elegant arches, traditional panelling and tall sash windows that flood the space with natural light. This leads seamlessly into a delightful sunroom, uninterrupted
views over the gardens. A well-appointed library/study is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and includes a concealed doorway that opens into a hidden games room, complete with a drinks bar and wine store. A cloakroom
with a high-flush WC and vanity unit adds convenience, while the superb kitchen is both stylish and functional, fitted with granite worktops, a large central island/breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. A Belling 7-ring dual-fuel
range cooker provides a focal point, and a separate utility room completes the ground floor.
On the first floor are four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with dual walk-in wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. One further bedroom benefits from en suite facilities, while a separate family bathroom features a freestanding bath and double shower, all finished to an exceptional standard.
The second floor, accessed via a private staircase, offers four additional rooms currently arranged as bedrooms and a sitting room. This floor also includes a fully equipped kitchen and a separate bathroom, making it ideal for use as
a self-contained annexe or holiday let if desired. Planning permission has been granted for the annex to be treated as a separate residence if desired. With its own external access, it offers excellent flexibility for extended family living or
income generation.
OUTSIDE
Down Park House is approached via a private lane and electric-gated driveway, offering ample parking and access to a triple garage with power and water.

deck with an inset hot tub provides a special feature, while a covered veranda with outdoor heating ensures year-round enjoyment. A gated path leads directly onto Roborough Common, providing immediate access to open countryside.
