Owner's Insight

"They say one thing you must try and do in life is build your own home, and it has been a privilege to have done so with The Walled Garden. As soon as we saw the plot, we knew we could make something special, and now looking back after ten years, we certainly achieved our dream. There is also still so much more new owners could look to do.

The privacy and seclusion is what I will miss the most. The double plot provides so much potential, with separate spaces for both productive and ornamental garden areas, storage, workshops, and a large amount of parking."

Step Inside

From the sheltered verandah wrapping around the south westerly aspect, you step through the leaded light entrance door into the spacious reception hall, with deep storage cupboard and cloakroom with WC, vanity unit and washing machine. The impressive sitting room is bathed in natural light, with twin patio doors opening to the verandah and southerly facing garden, further French doors to the west, and window to the north. A striking fireplace in slate tiled finish, polished granite black hearth, and warming cassette log burner provide a focal point. The kitchen provides comprehensive two tone cupboards and stone effect top with sink. Cooker with induction hob and glass canopy hood above, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Stable door and window to the rear.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The primary bedroom is a bright room with south westerly dual aspect, and fitted wardrobe. En suite bathroom with both corner shower and bath, WC, and vanity unit. Tiling to the floor and walls, and natural light. Bedrooms 2 & 3 enjoy easterly orientations for the morning sun, with shared jack & jill en suite shower room.

The Loft Rooms

An external turned staircase rises to a private door to the versatile loft rooms, providing exceptional space for storage and great potential for formal conversion. Our clients designed the property with consideration to accommodate a staircase within the reception hall in the area of the storage cupboard. Loft room 1 has a sloping panelled ceiling, and houses the gas boiler and warm air system. Fitted units, work top, sink, and toilet. Connecting loft room 2 has sloping ceilings with natural light from two roof lights. Fitted storage.

Step Outside

Double gates within the high natural stone walled boundary open to the beautiful private garden and extensive brick paviour driveway sweeping down the property. The gardens feature lawns, and an abundance of mature shrubs and flowers providing an array of greenery interspersed with colour. An extensive brick paviour terrace faces south westerly to maximise the sunshine, with the property designed in an l-Shape so the principal rooms overlook, and open onto this space. A raised bed with fish tank and maturing palms subtly separate the terrace from the lawns and parking. The terrace wraps around the property to the rear, where the external staircase rises to the loft rooms.

Additional Gardens & Garaging

Within the old stone wall boundary are two pedestrian gateways linking adjoining spaces. To the north west, behind the property is a further garden and storage space, sheltered by the stone wall. The A380 is beyond this area of garden. To the west, a separate plot provides extensive parking with brick paviour driveway and double garage with remote control access, personal door, and first floor space perfect for a workshop / studio set within the pitched roof with natural light from two roof lights. Beyond the parking is a productive garden with central lawn, greenhouse, and selection of maturing fruit trees including Victorian plum, apple and cherry.

Our client has considered potential development for a single detached dwelling, although an initial pre-application with Torbay Council was not considered favourably. Potential buyer's will need to make their own enquiries should potential development be an important or pivotal factor.
