A beautifully enhanced detached home with landscaped gardens, generous parking and far-reaching views, moments from the River Dart and Totnes town centre. EPC Band: D.
Situation - Kirkstone House occupies a discreet yet highly convenient position just a short walk from the vibrant heart of Totnes and the banks of the River Dart. This sought after Elizabethan market town is admired for its independent shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants, as well as excellent schooling and cultural events. The River Dart offers wonderful opportunities for boating and riverside walks, while the main line station provides direct services to London Paddington. The A38 Devon Expressway is within easy reach, offering swift access to both Exeter and Plymouth.
Set just off Moat Hill, the property enjoys an elevated setting with views across the townscape towards Bridgetown, all within easy reach of daily amenities.
Description - Kirkstone House offers generous, well-arranged accommodation over three floors, creating a home that is both practical and quietly uplifting in its design. Large windows and elevated views bring a sense of openness, while the principal reception spaces connect naturally to the terraces and gardens, making the property well suited to everyday living and occasional entertaining alike.
The layout provides impressive flexibility, with defined areas for work, family life and quiet retreat. Of particular note is the lower ground floor, which benefits from its own external access and a self-contained arrangement of rooms. This space can serve as an excellent suite for multi-generational living, guest use or as an appealing income opportunity, offering a valuable degree of independence from the main accommodation.
Accommodation - Entry is gained at first floor level via a paved terrace, where a glazed door opens into the welcoming reception hall. From here stairs rise to the upper floor, with a further staircase descending to the lower ground floor. A cloakroom lies just off the reception hall.
The sitting room is a wonderfully bright space, centred around a striking lantern roof that floods the room with light. Patio doors lead into the conservatory, a delightful garden room with stone flooring and French doors opening onto the level lawn.
To the opposite side of the hall is a bedroom/study with generous natural light. Beyond is the dining room, an elegant dual-aspect space with French doors opening to the west-facing decked terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. The kitchen adjoins, fitted with stylish green cabinetry, quality appliances and further patio doors offering another connection to the deck and garden.
Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys access onto an extensive paved balcony set over the sitting room, enclosed by a balustrade (to be fitted) and providing beautiful views across Totnes. Bedroom Two includes fitted wardrobes, Bedroom Three functions comfortably as a double, and Bedroom Four is ideal as a single bedroom or additional study.
The lower ground floor provides a highly flexible suite comprising a generous bedroom/family room, a utility room with fitted units and space for appliances, and a bathroom with bath, separate shower and vanity unit. This entire level offers clear potential to serve as a self-contained studio if required, with its own external access.
Outside - Approached via Sharpham Drive and Orchard Terrace, the property benefits from an unusually generous private parking area for the town, with space for several vehicles together with a covered carport to the side.
From the parking area, steps rise to the main entrance terrace. To the east of the house lies a level lawn accessed from the conservatory, bordered by established hedging for privacy. At the far end are a timber shed and a summerhouse.
To the west, and accessed from the dining room, is a raised decked terrace enjoying afternoon and evening sun and a second level lawn.
Services - Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating (newly fitted boiler 2024).
Directions - From the Stags Granary office in Totnes, proceed onto Warlands Road and continue to its end before bearing right onto Sharpham Drive. Follow the road where a rising lane appears on the right beside a high stone wall leading to Orchard Terrace. Turn right, then immediately left into the signed private parking area for Kirkstone House.

About this agent
Stags Totnes office is not hard to find, located in The Granary, an imposing historic stone building, on Coronation Road. Totnes is a charming market town, built at the head of the River Dart's estuary in South Devon. It has good communications, being accessible via the A38 from Exeter, just 22 miles to the east. The town is acknowledged as a thriving New Age centre, where musicians, artists, natural health practitioners and craftspeople live and work with great success. A market is held twice a week, selling antiques, musical instruments, second-hand books, hand made clothing and local organic products. In short, not for nothing was Totnes voted the capital of New Age chic by Time magazine. With its numerous attractive listed buildings and ancient history, Totnes is a tourist hot spot and attracts a growing number of visitors annually. It has many distinctive features such as the Eastgate, an arch spanning the main street, Totnes Castle, a Norman edifice owned by English Heritage, the late medieval Church of St Mary and the Elizabethan House Museum, one of many authentic Elizabethan merchant's houses.
