The details

A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial detached property, with in total five bedrooms, one en-suite, currently divided into two dwellings, a three-bedroom house and a two-bed self-contained annexe, with an adjoining door. There is a detached double-garage and workshop, ample parking and a private, enclosed rear garden, and the property is conveniently located a short walk from the shops, schools and amenities, in the popular town of Kingsteignton.

Two gated entrances for convenience, allow access onto a block-paved driveway with feature lighting, beside a lawn and mature beds of bushes, shrubs and plants. The driveway widens in front of the double-garage, providing an abundance of parking. The paving continues to the attractive entrance of the main property, with its impressive arched doorway.

Inside, there is light and neutral décor throughout, and it feels warm and welcoming with gas central heating and double-glazing. Parts of the property have already been beautifully modernised, however, it still requires further work to complete, to create a stunning, substantial, and unique family home. The attractive arched front door leads into an entrance hallway with a hardwood parquet flooring, a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a hidden-cistern WC and basin, and a handy store cupboard, at the foot of the carpeted staircase rising to the first floor.

A door leads into a well-proportioned lounge which is filled with light from a wide window to the front, sliding patio doors and windows to the rear garden. A stone fireplace, fitted with a wood burning stove, makes lovely feature and focal point for the room, wonderful with a roaring fire on a dark winter night.

French doors lead into a stunning, very spacious and beautifully modernised kitchen/family room, which has an elegant marble-effect porcelain tiled floor and is filled with light from dual-aspect windows and French doors to the garden. The kitchen area is fabulous, with loads of granite-effect worktop space and an extensive range of high-gloss, grey and white fitted units, with matching wall-cabinets, providing ample cupboard space, complete with under-cabinet feature lighting. There is a matching island providing additional storage, worktop space with a pop-up power point, and a breakfast bar, ideal for casual dining.
There is a stainless steel one and a half-bowl sink with a mixer tap beneath the window with a pleasant outlook over the rear garden, an alcove within the units for a large American-style fridge/freezer. There is also an integrated dishwasher, a built-in eye-level double-oven, with a matching microwave combination oven above, and a five-burner gas hob with a glass feature splashback and integral extractor hood above.

Beside a side door to the garden there is an additional cupboard, and a door into a separate utility room where there is a worktop with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a wall-mounted condensing combi-boiler, which provides the central heating and hot water on demand.

The dining area has plenty of space for a table and seating for even the largest of families, perfect for dinner party or a family celebration, and there is a feature alcove with display shelving.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a spacious double with plush carpet, filled with light from wide dual-aspect windows. A wall of fitted wardrobes, with sliding mirror doors, provide an abundance of clothes storage, and there is an en-suite shower room with tiled walls containing a shower, a pedestal basin, a WC, a chrome heated towel rail, and a medicine cabinet with mirror doors and no-touch feature lighting. There are two further bedrooms, both double-sized with loads of light from wide windows, one with a spacious and light walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.

Off the landing there is a family bathroom which is carpeted and has tiled walls, containing a modern white suite comprising of a bath, with a shower and glass screen above, a vanity unit with a solid granite top, an inset basin and storage beneath for toiletries, a WC and a chrome heated towel rail.

Beside the balustrade above the stairs is a shallow linen cupboard, and a hatch in the landing ceiling provides access to the loft space where there is plentiful additional storage and has a fold-down ladder for convenience.

A deep airing cupboard has slatted shelving for linen, and a solid-oak, lockable, adjoining door provides access into the first floor of the annexe where there are two light and airy double bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and the other with a built-in cupboard and dual-aspect windows filling the room with light. The landing has a pine balustrade above the stairs which leads down into a versatile room which would make a great study for those working from home. There is an under-stairs cupboard containing a central heating boiler, and a door leads into a L-shaped bathroom which is carpeted and contains a bath with a shower and glass screen above, a pedestal basin, a WC and a chrome heated towel rail.

The annexe has its own entrance hall with doors into a lounge, that has dual-aspect windows and a living-flame gas fire, and into a kitchen which has a durable vinyl floor and a fitted kitchen in cream with plenty of worktop space, tiled splashbacks, a built-in double-oven, a separate gas hob with a filter hood above, an integrated fridge/freezer, and space with plumbing beneath the worktop for a washing machine.

The side door from the kitchen leads out onto a large terrace of crazy-paving which continues along the rear of the property making a fabulous private venue for entertaining, be it alfresco dining, a barbecue, sharing drinks with friends and family or simply basking in the summer sunshine. There is a large south-facing level lawn with several fruit trees, a greenhouse for the tomato plants, a timber shed, and it is all bordered by walls making it private and totally safe for both children and pets. There is an outside tap for watering, gates on either side of the garden providing alternative access to the front, and a door leads into the rear of the large workshop which has lights and power, in turn leading into the double-garage which has lights, power, a remote-controlled up and over door for convenience and a drop-down ladder providing easy access to the extensive storage in the boarded loft space.
