Property Summary
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A LARGE DOUBLE-FRONTED 3/4-BEDROOM HOUSE IN THE TOPSHAM CONSERVATION AREA WITH FULL PLANNING CONSENT TO IMPROVE AND EXTEND.
Situation
Topsham is an ancient port situated 4 miles south east of the cathedral city of Exeter on the beautiful Exe Estuary. With easy commuting and access to the M5, Topsham is also well served by bus and rail. The useful branch line operates between the coastal town of Exmouth 7 miles away and Exeter St Davids, connecting it to the national network. Exeter airport is some 5 miles away.
Today, Topsham is considered a special place to live and boasts excellent local amenities including a school, outside swimming pool, bowling green, tennis courts, doctors surgery, sailing club, extensive range of independent shops together with numerous pubs, cafes, and highly regarded restaurants. It is also popular for its boating, cycling routes, antiques centre and bird watching nature reserve.
Full planning permission means you can begin to create your dream home in Topsham immediately, rather than go through the time-consuming and costly process of planning that can take up to 2 years.
When complete the property will comprise a spacious ground floor with two reception rooms (one could be used as a further double bedroom), cloakroom/shower room/WC, dining area, a contemporary extension with fully fitted kitchen leading to a larder and utility room.
The glass-fronted extension flows through to a patio area and extensive walled garden that captures sunlight throughout the day.
The First Floor comprises two spacious bedrooms with bathrooms en-suite.
The Second Floor, currently a loft space, will comprise a superb bedroom extending the full width of the property, with shower room en-suite and a secret library/office/walk-in closet, with the two gables joined by a new flat roof extension with skylights, creating an extensive master suite.
Planning permission includes PV Slates to the roof, (as installed on York Minster) that will preserve the classical look of the tiled roof while providing green electricity free of charge.
When completed the house will be a sympathetic restoration of a beautiful, listed property in the heart of the Topsham Conservation Area, providing a home befitting its heritage surroundings but with all the conveniences necessary for modern living.
This property would make a great family home. Also potential for parking at the front. For further information or to arrange a viewing please contact our office.
