Accommodation: 

The main house occupies four floors of this beautiful period property. Currently utilised as a lively family home, it is important to bear in mind that this property offers extremely versatile accommodation with many possible arrangements. 

We access the property via the enclosed front garden where a path leads to the stained glass panelled front door and access to the entrance vestibule. From here we can get an immediate sense of the style and character that will flow through this property as we explore further. The grand entrance hallway gives access to the ground floor accommodation which briefly comprises of:

Lounge: To the front of the property, flooded with light from the large bay window is the first reception room arranged as a formal living room. A feature fireplace provides a focal point. Solid wooden doors give way to the second reception room.

Dining Room: With a window to the rear of the property this is the perfect room for family get togethers with space for a very large table and chairs. This room also offers an attractive feature fireplace.

Kitchen: To the rear of the property is the modern fitted kitchen. Offering a range of storage solutions, plenty of worktop area and space for appliances. From here we can access the rear garden. 

Stairs lead to the first-floor landing. The first floor is home to three double bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room with WC. The current owners have chosen to arrange two of the rooms as a primary suite, a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the main house!

Stairs lead to the second-floor landing. The second floor offers a further three double bedrooms, one of which leads to a balcony with far reaching views towards Plymouth Sound and Mount Edgecombe. Also, a bathroom.  

Stairs lead to the third floor. Here we find another three double bedrooms and bathroom. The two bedrooms to the front of the property enjoy beautiful views over the garden to Plymouth Sound and Staddon Heights in the distance. 

The main house benefits from Gas Central Heating, and double glazing. Many of the windows offer a “turn and tilt” facility allowing for ease cleaning and the option to flood the rooms with light and fresh air. 

Self-Contained Apartment: The lower ground floor of the property is occupied by a fully self-contained apartment. Accessible via a pathway through the front garden to a uPVC front door leading to the apartment where the accommodation briefly comprises of:

Lounge / Diner: To the front of the property is the large reception room, benefitting from a feature fire and space for both lounge and dining furniture.

Externally the property offers a wonderfully maintained front garden with lawn and patio area for enjoying the sunshine. To the rear there is a spacious courtyard which can also be utilised as parking, accessed via the rear service lane. 

At Glad Stones Estates we feel that the current layout of the property would suit a large family with multi-generations coming together. With space for children, teenagers, and elderly relatives. However, the property also offers the opportunity for development for investment. Whether conversion into apartments (potentially five subject to planning permission) HMO rental or Air B&B.
