Property description

We are delighted to bring to market this spacious and beautifully presented double-fronted Grade II listed property, just a short walk from the centre of Great Torrington. This elegant period home is rich in character and history, yet has been thoughtfully modernised to create a superb balance between old and new.

The property retains many original features, most notably the Edwardian tiled flooring in the entrance hallway, high ceilings and picture rails. To the front of the house are two generous reception rooms. One features a bay sash window with wooden shutters and a gas fireplace set within a period surround. The other enjoys a sash window to the front elevation, ceiling coving, wooden shutters, and a second attractive fireplace. A third reception room, currently used as a study, overlooks the rear garden.

To the rear, the house opens out into an impressive 31-foot kitchen and dining space. This beautifully extended room offers both practicality and style, with a well-appointed kitchen fitted with matching wall and base units, integrated appliances, a gas hob, built-in oven and a Belfast sink overlooking the garden. The dining area benefits from a breakfast bar and large bifold doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful sense of space and connection between inside and out ? Ideal for entertaining or family life.

An inner lobby provides further access to the garden, alongside a useful cloakroom and separate utility room.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged over a split-level landing. A beautiful stained-glass window frames views across the garden and towards the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden through a wide bay window. This room also benefits from a fitted dressing area with built-in wardrobes, which leads to a contemporary ensuite with walk-in shower, vanity basin, WC and roof light.

The remaining bedrooms are all generous doubles with large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. They are served by a stylishly refurbished family bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath, double walk-in shower, sink with illuminated mirror above, and original sash windows.

The rear garden is a real highlight. Landscaped to create a private and sunny retreat, it offers a blend of gravel pathways, lawned areas and paved terraces. Directly off the kitchen is a stone-paved patio with built-in seating, perfect for summer gatherings. Further down the garden you'll find a second seating area, a stone outbuilding, wooden storage shed, and a mature planting scheme with shrubs, trees and flowering borders. At the end of the garden is a gently sloping path leading to the garage and driveway, with gated access to the nearby Health Centre car park. The garage also includes a personal door for added convenience.

This handsome home has been cared for and updated with great attention to detail and offers a rare opportunity to own a characterful and substantial property in the heart of Great Torrington. Early viewing is highly recommended.
