Description - A detached substantial early Victorian property with Georgian architecture to the front approached off a long block paved sweeping drive which leads up to the coach house behind the property with parking for 3 cars and turning area behind. The house has been improved in the vendors three years of ownership and is now presented in good condition offering the successful purchaser their opportunity to put their own mark on the building.

The original Victorian tiles remain on the front of the property covered by an attractive veranda with climbing rose and wisteria. The elevated position provides far reaching views and is located in the sought after suburb of Highweek near to Newton Abbot.

The views from the property are protected by the established and mature trees in the front garden area shielding much of the town but allowing good views of the river beyond.

Accommodation - The main entrance hall is located through the entrance porch which leads through to the stair case retaining the original ceiling cornice plasterwork and provides access to the reception rooms at the front of the house. A doorway underneath the main stairway hall leads down to the cellar which has power and lighting with the original brick built wine bins with slate tops and a useful storage room with a cobbled floor.

The drawing room has a large opening sash window providing access onto the front terrace with working shutters to the side with a mahogany fire surround with cast iron insert. The dining room has a gas fire and marble surround again with large sash window openings and working shutters. It is thought that this room could be adapted to become a new kitchen to the front of the house.

Door to study/bedroom 6 with window to the side. From the staircase hall a door leads through to the rear hall with door to a family bathroom, door to boot room and secondary staircase which leads up to the first floor and with a door to outside. Door to kitchen where the original Range remains in the chimney breast with a range of base level kitchen units a Belfast sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. Door to outside and to the breakfast room with a large window overlooking the rear courtyard.

From the entrance hall the turning staircase rises to a half landing with an attractive stained glass window, with doors to bedroom 3, double with sash window overlooking the rear walled garden and en suite shower room. Door to bedroom suite comprising an en suite shower room and double bedroom 5 with a door down to the secondary staircase. Clearly this part of the house could be utilised as a separate annexe benefitting from the separate access from the side of the property. The stairs continue to the main landing with doors to a further three double bedrooms, however the main bedroom dressing area could be used as a fourth bedroom with an en suite shower leading to the side. One of the other two bedrooms has an en suite shower. The two main bedrooms at the front of the house overlooking the garden with views across Highweek to Newton Abbot, Bishopsteignton the River Teign and out to the sea.

The Coach House - The Coach House is located to the rear of the property under a slate roof currently used as a garage with loft above. This has significant potential to be converted into an ancillary unit of accommodation or as a games room/office. To the rear is a log store and timber summer house and there are a number of garden sheds.

Garden & Grounds - One of the key features of Hartree are its mature and private grounds which extend to approximately almost half an acre. To the rear is an area of level lawn with a path bordering the stone walled garden, intersected with flower beds, vegetable beds, a former chicken run and a number of fruit trees. To the eastern elevation of the property and accessed from the entrance drive or from the veranda are the gently sloping gardens which are predominately laid to lawn with a central ornate pond with a pumped running water system. There are a number of Acer trees, a Japanese maple, a large Monkey Puzzle and flowering shrubs. To the western side of the house is an area used for storage with a further timber shed and beyond which is a stone outbuilding currently used for storage.
