A substantial Grade II listed period residence set within approximately 3.28 acres, located on the southern fringes of Exeter with an attached 2 bedroom apartment and outstanding views.
Description
Brimming with period charm and built in circa 1890 of Breccia Rubble design believed to be as a Dower House and formerly part of the historic Peamore Estate, this Grade II listed home, which is located on the south western fringes of Exeter is comprised of four 2 storey and 3 storey wings which encompass a centralised courtyard.
The main house itself is made up of four large bedrooms with excellent views over the gardens, grounds and surrounding countryside, two of which are en-suite with the principal suite enjoying a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The first floor rises to the second floor where there are three further large attic rooms with dormer windows that have previously been used as bed chambers in the past. The property has three sets of staircases from which the various parts of the first and second floors can be accessed.
With several entrances into the property, the ground floor offers substantial accommodation including a large dual aspect sitting room, formal dining room and a country style kitchen with fitted Aga leading to a cosy family room with a door to the courtyard and French doors to the east terrace. From the back hall is a large laundry room, and door leads out to the central cobbled courtyard where there is a large workshop/store and a wine cellar. From the formal dining room a door leads to an atrium which further leads to the charming conservatory complete with established internal grape vine trained overhead and views over the formal gardens and a further garden store.
The attached apartment which occupies the first floor north wing of the property is accessed via a staircase leading from the back hall by the ground floor utility room. Comprising two bedrooms, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom.
