Situation - Bridgetown is a popular residential area only a short distance from the centre of Totnes and the banks of the River Dart. Totnes is a bustling Elizabethan market town full of interest with a wide range of good local schools, shopping facilities and recreational pursuits including indoor swimming pool and boating opportunities on the River Dart. The A38 Devon expressway is approximately 6.5 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond. Main line rail links to London Paddington are also located in Totnes.
Description - A fantastic un-listed property built in the 1890s offering spacious and well-proportioned accommodation over, currently, 2 floors. The vendors have improved the property in their period of ownership and hope to soon secure planning permission for further expansion into the roof space, which the purchaser of this property could look at converting. This stone-faced property is located in the Bridgetown area of Totnes, a reasonably level walk over the River Dart into the High Street. With the addition of the garden, single garage and the parking space, this property will appeal to a vast variety of purchasers. It is worthy to note that the front road-facing part of the property is in a Conservation Area.
Accommodation - Approached up a short flight of steps the property has an entrance vestibule with Victorian floor tiles and a beautiful part stained glass window leading through into the spacious reception hall. The majority of the ground floor has tastefully stained pine floorboards.
The sitting room is located at the front of the house, benefitting from a large bay window with working single glazed sash windows affording much light to flood into the south-facing property. This room has a lovely Victorian fireplace with tiled insets and a slate over mantle. There is space either side of the chimney breast for a bookcase or for a television cabinet with shelving over.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been completely upgraded by the vendors with knocking a wall down to open the area up providing a fantastic entertaining space. The fully fitted kitchen, with base and eye-level units, has a Hotpoint integrated dishwasher, larder drawers, stainless steel sink and drainer and space for a fridge/freezer and a Stoves freestanding cooker with 4-gas burners and 2 electric ovens with Zanussi extractor over.

At the far end there are tri-folding doors out onto the new garden room/conservatory, which is fully glazed above allowing a tremendous amount of light into the property. There is a door to a ground floor shower room and WC, all of which has underfloor electric heating. From the garden room there is a door out up to the raised seating area and garden beyond.

Outside - To the front there is a small area of lawn. To the rear of the property, there is a useful side courtyard area for storage, where the vendors currently keep a small Wendy house and small storage unit. From here, a number of steps rise up to a sunken seating area with cobbled floor and concrete bench providing a sheltered seating spot outside. The level area of lawn is situated above this and bordered on one side by a stone wall and the other by a timber fence with mature plants. At the end is the detached single garage with an up and over door with space at the front to enable a single car parking spot.
