Freehold

Description

Southbrook house is a substantial five-bedroom semi-detached Georgian home situated in a convenient location on the edge of a popular East Devon Village. The unlisted home has been in the same family ownership for approaching 40 years and during their occupation they have improved the property and converted buildings into very useful office accommodation, albeit still requiring some upgrades, repairs and decoration in parts.

Stepping through the entrance vestibule, you are welcomed into a spacious reception hall, where a grand central staircase rises to the first floor. Two doors lead into the south-facing reception rooms, while an opening connects to the inner hall. Both the sitting room and dining room are bathed in natural light from elegant bay windows. The sitting room showcases a central ceiling rose and a charming fireplace with an open fire and decorative surround, while the dining room is distinguished by intricate ceiling cornicing and an open fireplace with a wooden surround. The kitchen/breakfast room, accessible from both the dining room and inner hall, is well-equipped with ample wall and base storage, a double oven, hob, and designated space for a dishwasher and fridge-freezer. From the inner hall, access is provided to the service rooms, which include a shower room with sink and WC, utility area, boiler room and a pantry, offering further storage and space for laundry appliances. From here, a door leads into the rear hall, offering access to the home office, storage rooms and rear garden.
Ascending to the first floor, a generous landing with a study area leads to five bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with both a bathtub and a separate shower. The primary bedroom enjoys a delightful view over the garden and steps descending to an en-suite shower room, which is also accessible from the landing. Three of the remaining bedrooms share a sunny south-facing aspect, with the third and fourth bedrooms benefiting from built-in cupboards. The fifth bedroom is located at the rear of the house, benefitting from the morning sun and views over the kitchen garden.

The property must be viewed to be fully appreciated and offers double glazing throughout, oil fired central heating and a new shared sewage treatment plant installed in 2022.
 
Outside 
The beautifully maintained grounds are a standout feature of the property. Electric gates open onto a sweeping gravel driveway, offering ample parking and a turning area, with access to the three-car garage beyond. A charming brick wall and mature hedging line the roadside, ensuring privacy. Steps lead up to the expansive garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by vibrant herbaceous borders. There is a brick-paved patio leading to a decked area complete with a hot tub-perfect for relaxation.
