6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Seymour Road, Mannamead PL3

Description
The provenance of this house shines through immediately upon entering this beautiful home, through the retained grandeur and natural presence which evokes a feeling of calm and restfulness upon reaching the impressive entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor.
One half of a pair of villas, originally built in 1865 as one residence for an admiral we understand. Particularly fine features of this ideal family home, are the generously proportioned drawing and sitting rooms with double height ceilings and fine examples of cornice and crown moldings, these intricate and transforming details are also reflected in the impressive, paneled dining room with an attractive bay window embellished by a lead and light stained glass overlooking the garden.

A study and conservatory also act as additional reception rooms in this adaptable house, with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen adding extra convenience for entertaining with the utility, larder and doorway/internal steps from the main kitchen down to the full height cellars and wine cellar.

The majestic staircase rises to a half landing which splits the bedroom configuration effectively into two wings, with three bedrooms, family bathroom and rear staircase to the north and the principal set of bedrooms off a generous landing to the south. The two master bedrooms have south facing aspects looking out towards Plymouth Sound, The Breakwater and Cornish coastline, three recently refurbished bathrooms and a dual aspect further bedroom, complete the upstairs accommodation.

Outside the driveway provides parking for several cars with a double length garage and useful store/workshop, gentle steps lead up to the level back lawn bounded by well stocked borders of attractive plants, shrubs and a variety of mature tree varieties, including an established Wisteria vine.

The front garden is bounded by a hedge, with gates on entrance pillars leading into the driveway.
