Accommodation
The front door opens into an attractive entrance hall, with exposed floorboards, characterful panelling and an ornate archway set beside a custom inset mirror. The sitting room draws the eye immediately to French doors opening onto a decked terrace, with stunning views over the River Dart and out to sea. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and a feature fireplace add further charm to the room. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a newly installed kitchen, including an integrated electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher, with soft-close units providing storage alongside a sizeable built-in cupboard with power, ideal for concealing additional appliances. There is space for a fridge/freezer, while a useful cupboard beneath the stairs creates a small utility space complete with washing machine. An industrial-style door leads from the kitchen/dining room to the rear hallway, which opens to a courtyard, while Italian mosaic porcelain tiles lead through to a new, stylish shower room. Here you'll find a wall-hung toilet, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a large walk-in shower with ceramic wall tiles, all finished with sensor-activated low-level lighting for a touch of luxury.
A turned staircase rises to the first-floor landing, passing a large window that floods the space with afternoon sunshine. The landing offers plenty of room for a desk or a peaceful reading snug. Bedroom one is generously proportioned, with dual-aspect windows showcasing the incredible views out to sea. Bedroom two comfortably accommodates a double bed plus storage furniture, with a built-in wardrobe and a window overlooking the rear garden.
Outside
