5 bedroom house

A significant 1930’s detached house with a separate annexe, glorious views and 2.6 acres. Complete with 5 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room/snug, sitting room, utility room, sun room, garden room, additional 1 bedroom letting annexe, stable block and grounds of about 2.62 acres with 3 areas of paddocks.

Situation - Sunnyside is situated on the edge of the sought-after village of Ipplepen. The village includes a small supermarket, post office, primary school, two churches, public house, medical centre, sports field/play park and village hall. Ipplepen is conveniently located between the market town of Newton Abbot and the historic castle town of Totnes both of which offer a wider range of amenities and main line railway stations linking to London Paddington. The A38 Devon Expressway is also within easy reach which allows commuting to Plymouth, Exeter and beyond via the M5 Motorway.

Description - The house was built in a prime location in the 1930’s to take best advantage of the far-reaching views and the level proximity to Ipplepen. The house has been well maintained in the vendor’s 37 years of ownership, previously running a Certified Caravan Club camping site. The annexe conversion enables a dependant relative or perhaps could be used for additional holiday let income. The attached stable block and well-fenced paddocks will also appeal to the equestrian enthusiast.

Accommodation - On the southwestern side of the house, the sliding door leads into the spacious reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the well-lit and spacious drawing room with large windows to the front of the property and to the field at the side. This large room has a gas fire and door through to the kitchen/breakfast room with a laminate floor and a bespoke range of base and eye-level kitchen units, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, NEFF integrated dishwasher, 2 x NEFF ovens, one doubling as a microwave with NEFF 5-ring induction hob with extractor over. Through the arch is the breakfast room which open through to the TV room/snug. There is a utility room with a further range of base and eye-level units and door to a useful storage cupboard. A door leads through to the rear hall with a fully tiled family bathroom with separate shower cubicle and an arch through to the sun room with sliding patio door out onto the south and east facing patio.

From the hall the stairs rise to the first floor landing, which is incredibly light owing to the rooflights from the Velux in the loft. There are 5 double bedrooms, the main bedroom having an en-suite shower room with a large walk-in shower with Mira Extreme electric shower unit and a very spacious family bathroom, fully tiled, for the other rooms. There is a loft hatch with ladder up to the loft space which has significant potential to be used for further accommodation (subject to consent) if required.

The Annexe - Located a short distance from the house, the annexe has a separate parking area to one side with access through a pair of patio doors into the sitting room/kitchen with an engineered oak floor and a range of base and eye-level kitchen units, incorporating a fully fitted kitchen and door to the boiler cupboard with a mains gas-fired boiler. Shower room and door to a double bedroom. At the far end of the annexe is a garage with a single up and over door.

Outbuildings - Sunnyside benefits from a number of outbuildings with a large garage and workshop located nearest the house, a detached stable block with 3 stables and a feed room to the side. There is a detached garden room/sun room, which could readily be linked back to the house, if required.

Gardens & Grounds - The property is surrounded by its own gardens which have been created over the years to form a principal rear area of moderately sloping lawn with mature herbaceous borders with a raised patio seating area to take advantage of the far-reaching views. To the rear of the property is a further area of level lawn with further herbaceous borders and gates to the rear drive leading onto the main Ipplepen road. The main paddock is located to the northwest of the property and is flanked by a high stone wall, which also marks the location of the public footpath. The field has a post and rail fence and is divided into two paddocks on this side. From the other side is a triangular shaped level area of lawn, which was the location for the certified caravan club pitches with electric connections and hardstanding areas in situ.

Services - Mains gas-fired central heating for the house and the annexe. Mains water and septic tank drainage.

Directions - From Totnes proceed on the road to Newton Abbot (A381) and after passing a turning to Coombefishacre, on the approach to Ipplepen turn right at Wrigwell Cross, signed Wrigwell and the private entrance drive to Sunnyside is shortly after on the left-hand side.
