Description

24 South Road is a wonderful example of a substantial, detached family home which dates back to the early 20th Century.

Whilst it has been modernised and extended over the years to adapt to family living, much of the charm and elegance one would expect from a house of this period still remains as do many of the period features.

With generous proportions, large windows and high ceilings, the accommodation is light and spacious throughout.

Arranged over two floors, the ground floor living accommodation flows beautifully. The well equipped kitchen /breakfast room offers a range of base and wall units as well as an integrated dishwasher and an electric range cooker with gas hob. There is also a walk-in pantry.
The breakfast room provides a glazed seating area with sliding doors to the rear courtyard while beyond the kitchen, there is a convenient boot room and utility/laundry room.

The open plan sitting room and dining room continues the spacious and light theme with the living room benefitting from a wood burning stove and large bay window over looking the garden.

The dining area features full height sliding doors to the south facing terrace and gardens beyond which floods the room with natural light and really maximises the fabulous views.

Beyond the main living accommodation, the ground floor also offers a study / bedroom as well as a further snug/sitting room, a ground floor double bedroom and a shower/cloakroom.

Stairs rise to the first floor which offers a wonderful principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and large bay window providing a stunning westerly aspect over the rolling countryside to Dartmoor.

There are a further three double bedrooms on the first floor, two of which have wonderful views as well as a family bathroom and separate WC.

The Annexe
24 South Road has the benefit of a generous annexe which is arranged over one level and can either be utilised as a wing of the main house via internal doors, or indeed a self-contained unit which can be completely separate.
The annexe offers a well-equipped kitchen with a range of integrated appliances including an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and space for a washing machine. Beyond this is a large living /dining room with sliding doors to a south facing terrace and conservatory.
There are two double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, as well as a family bathroom.   
From the entrance hall, the annexe also benefits from direct access into the games room and swimming pool, both of which can also be accessed via a separate external door. The games room in particular is a generous and versatile space offering a number of options for use from table tennis or a pool table to a substantial office/studio.

Outside
24 South Road sits centrally in a generous, south facing plot. The private driveway leads to ample parking for a number of vehicles at the rear as well as a car port and double garage.

To the front and immediately outside the living accommodation of the main house is a lovely terrace with a wonderful garden beyond, split into two levels. Largely laid to lawn, the gardens are bordered by mature shrubs and trees ensuring the fabulous views are unobstructed.

The annexe also benefits from a private, south facing terrace with a gate leading to a garden area with a fabulous feature apple tree.
