Torrington, Devon

Exuding elegance, this handsome Victorian home is sure to turn heads! Enjoying a commanding elevated position with views across the Torridge Valley and glorious rolling hills of the North Devon Countryside beyond.

Spanning over 4 floors, Uplands combines timeless character with generous, well-planned spaces. Immaculately presented throughout, offering the perfect blend of beautiful period features that you would expect from such a home, with all the desires of modern day living. The combination of all of these factors make this unique home one of the most premier residences in town.

On entering the property, you are greeted by the Garden room giving, quite simply put "stunning views" of the gardens and views. Through the original Front Door and from beautiful tiled hallway are three good sized reception rooms and in addition access to the basement, ideal for a playroom/home office or cinema room. The south facing sitting room, complimented with a lovely log burner, and music/reading both enjoy views out over the garden and hills beyond.

The kitchen has been opened up to create a fantastic entertaining space that flows seamlessly into the bay fronted dining room as well as providing access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a large utility room and shower room.

On the first floor, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom for convenience and is complimented by two additional double bedrooms on the same level as well as a stunning four piece family bathroom complete with a claw foot roll-edged bath. The top floor offers the remaining two bedrooms and a tastefully fitted shower room.

As beautiful as the house is, it’s equally as impressive when you step outside. A long gravelled driveway leads to the property and offers ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The gardens are a delight with a south facing high stone wall. Enjoying a good degree of privacy, and featuring an abundance of flower beds along with a prefect area for growing vegetables. A useful stone built shed provides plenty of storage.

Stepping outside of this stunning property you are direct onto Great Torrington Commons, 365 acres of countryside following the River Torridge allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka trail, a footpath / cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way following the course of the river Torridge as far North as Ilfracombe or going inland South towards Meeth.

I could keep waxing lyrical about how wonderful this property and its position is, but I think in this case, its best left to the home itself! Only by visiting Uplands you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.

Agents notes: Please be aware that the property is owned by an employee of Bond Oxborough Phillips estate agents.
