Situation

Much of the coastline in this area is National Trust owned.
The historic and vibrant city of Plymouth is within easy commuting distance. The large university has a number of world class faculties and both medical and dental schools. The outstanding Theatre Royal has a national reputation. There is a regular train service to London from Plymouth and there are passenger ferries running from the city to France and Spain.

Description
Built in 1924 for a Dr Gasman, this substantial house is designed with a strong Swiss-German influence to a grand style. High ceilings and distinctive, North American joinery, the design revolves around the enchanting aspect over the nearby water and wooded hillside beyond. Not only do the principal receptions and large sun room enjoy this outlook, but the fabulous large highly elevated balcony, has one of the best outlooks on the South Devon coastline. Retaining a great deal of the original “Art Deco” style this is a wonderfully atmospheric house that would prove ideal for entertaining or versatile to accommodate differing families’ needs.

OUTSIDE
The magnificent mature garden has many specimen shrubs, having been planted and nurtured over many years. Set across the hillside it extends to just under 1.5 acres and “Sunrays” a detached garden studio flat which was refurbished in 1990 has a wonderful elevated position within the garden along with a water facing terrace to take full advantage of the views. The nearby studio and Sunrays is an independent and separate residence. These small buildings also have delightful river views and garden terraces and are on a separate title to the main property. In addition the grounds extend into a woodland garden (with some TPOs) adjoining Lower Court Road, where there is existing vehicular access.
