Topsham

DESCRIPTION Set along the highly sought-after Elm Grove Road, this large, beautifully improved and extended detached home of exceptional proportions, offers both elegance and practicality in equal measure. Set well back from the road, the property is approached via a private driveway, opening into secluded and well-screened grounds that immediately convey a sense of peace and exclusivity.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning rear extension, thoughtfully designed to create a sociable kitchen space. This bespoke, hand-built kitchen by Elm Grove Kitchens has been hand-painted in Little Greene "Basalt" and features hardwood fronts with oak inset drawers, complete with fitted knife and cutlery units, boiling water tap, traditional butt hinges, and dovetail joints. A central island provides a natural gathering point, while the pantry cupboard is enhanced with wicker basket storage and an oak spice rack. Elegant 20mm Unistone Carrara Misterio stone worktops complement the space, alongside a classic electric Aga with roasting, baking and warming ovens, a stainless steel Smeg extraction unit, and a full-size built-in electric combination fan oven, grill and microwave.

Complementing the kitchen, a substantial utility/scullery created to the side and rear, offering exceptional practicality with an abundance of handcrafted cupboards and bespoke storage solutions. From the kitchen, doors open seamlessly onto a lovely patio area perfect for alfresco dining. Beyond is the beautifully level and landscaped garden, an inviting and thoughtfully designed outdoor space, carefully planted to provide structure and year-round interest. To the front of the plot, a further area of level lawn enhances the sense of space, alongside ample parking and a newly constructed garden office/summerhouse. This versatile outbuilding is fully insulated and benefits from electrics and a broadband connection, making it ideal for home working or creative use.

Internally, the house is unified by elegant oak flooring that flows throughout, enhancing warmth and continuity. Two further reception rooms offer flexible living space, each with bespoke hand-built furniture, while the ground floor study/bedroom is fitted with a beautifully crafted built-in library unit, offering both charm and practicality. This room provides valuable future-proofed accommodation, with the option to serve as a fourth bedroom if required. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from the same quality oak flooring. Two superb bathrooms, one with underfloor heating, have been recently installed to an exceptional standard, featuring high-end fittings including a Lusso egg shell matte white freestanding stone bath, floor-standing tap with shower attachment, Lusso matte stone basins, and a shower with matte stone tray. The spaces are finished with ceramic floor tiles, brushed gold taps and fittings, and wall-hung smart toilet with remote control functionality. Hilarys fitted shutters complete the refined aesthetic.

Further adding to the appeal, the property offers excellent potential for loft conversion. A newly installed Velux window already floods this substantial loft space with natural light, making it a highly usable area with scope for future development.

This is a wonderfully designed and immaculately presented home, combining thoughtful extension, bespoke craftsmanship, and modern luxury in one of Topsham's most desirable locations.
