A substantial dwelling set in a secluded location within 13.8 acres enjoying fabulous views to the sea, plus buildings with consent for conversion to 3 dwellings. EPC Band C.
Situation - Doveteign sits in an idyllic rural position on Holcombe Down, in an elevated location just under two miles from the coastal resort of Teignmouth, which has a fine promenade with sandy beaches, boating opportunities on the estuary and the back beach with a selection of pubs and restaurants in a superb marine setting. There is also a variety of independent shops and cafes, supermarkets, theatre and bowling club. There is both state and private schooling (Trinity School). Teignmouth also has a railway station with a direct link to London Paddington. The A380 dual carriageway is only five miles.
Introduction - Doveteign is a versatile country property with a well-presented 20th Century house, which was built in a chosen location to take full advantage of the wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and out to the sea beyond. The land provides excellent grazing for agricultural or equine pursuits and there is a comprehensive range of buildings at a lower level down a trackway below the house, which have been used previously for farming operations though suitable for other uses, subject to the necessary consents. Indeed, Teignbridge District Council have granted permission under Class Q for some of the buildings to be converted into three dwellings, which could be used for other members of the family, holiday letting or, an application could be submitted to apply for revised consents for alternative dwellings.
The House - The position of the house and gardens, set high on the hill above the sea, affords truly breathtaking views. Originally built in the 1950s, Doveteign was redeveloped around forty years ago and now provides 2,675sq.ft. of appealing accommodation.
On the ground floor, there is an impressive hallway, with open tread staircase leading to first floor, and with a well-appointed kitchen off, with usual units and appliances etc. Off this is a large breakfast room/utility plus access to rear porch. The large dual aspect sitting room is at the rear of the house, taking full advantage of the stunning southerly and easterly views, with attractive fireplace and pair of French doors leading into the large conservatory which, again, is sited to take full advantage of the stunning location. Off the other side of the hallway is a well-proportioned dual aspect dining room, large study and downstairs shower room (the study could be used as a downstairs bedroom if required).
On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, which takes full advantage of the superb views through large picture windows, with its own en suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The Gardens - From the road a splayed entrance with Devon banks either side topped with mature beech trees, opens to a sweeping drive with parking for a number of vehicles. Substantial garage (47 x 16) with two up-and-over doors and with numerous windows, lighting etc., and plenty of room for storage and workshop.
There are substantial gardens, primarily of sweeping lawns and terraces. To the front of the house paved pathways descend to the entrance terrace where landscaped borders are retained by feature stone walls. The gardens wrap around all sides of the house and to the rear there is a paved terrace extending the width of the house and providing a wonderful location to contemplate the good views and surroundings. The extensive lawns are interspersed with various mature trees including birches and well-stocked shrubberies. A large gravel area, to the side, opens onto a productive kitchen garden including vegetable beds and fruit cage.
Services - Mains electricity, mains gas, private drainage, private water, gas-fired central heating. Approx. 4kwPV panels.
The Land & Buildings - From the entrance drive a track leads down past the paddocks to the range of farm buildings which lie at a much lower level from the house. There are a range of concrete and corrugated fibre cement roof buildings, some of which have consent under Class Q for conversion to three dwellings. There is also a long thin agricultural building of approximately 6,500sq.ft. Drawings of the proposed scheme are included in the brochure.
The land with the property comprises two fields to the side and below the house, with a larger field below the farm buildings, being south-facing and running down to a stream. There is a natural pond plus a small area of woodland on the other side of the stream. Overall, the property amounts to about 13.8 acres, as indicated on the plan.
Planning Consent - Teignbridge District Council gave prior approval on 5th March 2020 under Ref: 20/00051/NPA for change of use of three agricultural buildings to use as three dwellings.
