OWNERS' INSIGHT

“After twenty wonderful years, this has been a very emotional decision for us. We have truly loved this home and its incredible location, but the pull of our children and grandchildren back in Leicestershire has become too strong to ignore. So much of our daily life has been shaped by being here, from strolling up to the precinct for fresh fish, fruit, vegetables and meat from the local shops, to setting out on long walks along the South West Coast Path, with its miles of breathtaking, unspoilt scenery right on our doorstep. This house has been filled with love, laughter, and special memories, and there will no doubt be a few tears when we finally close the door. We can only hope the next family will cherish it just as much and create their own happy memories at number 10.”

An obscure glazed entrance door opens into a hall. The bright sitting room enjoys a south easterly aspect to the front, overlooking the mature garden and pond. Character features include a high ceiling with a delicate ceiling rose, cornice work, and picture rails. Alcove storage and a deep understairs cupboard. The dining room continues the sense of space, with a westerly facing window and further useful storage beneath the stairs, creating a practical yet inviting setting for entertaining. The kitchen is stylishly fitted with sleek, high-gloss white units, including a larder with retractable shelving, and marble-effect worktops with a one and a half bowl sink and pale grey metro tiled splashbacks. Integrated Bosch double oven and gas hob are included, with space for additional appliances, while one cupboard neatly houses the Worcester gas boiler. A dual-aspect design brings in plenty of natural light, with windows to the west and north, and French door to the garden.

A straight flight of stairs rises from the hall to a generous first floor landing, with useful overhead storage and a high window to one end. The principal bedroom is a lovely, light filled space, featuring an attractive arched window to the front and a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes with additional storage above. There are three further bedrooms, two comfortable doubles enjoying open aspects towards the neighbouring listed Park Crescent, while the fourth is currently used as a study, also benefits from a charming arched window. The family bathroom has been beautifully updated, featuring a double-ended, footed bath with shower attachment, a separate shower with body spray and rain head, vanity unit, and WC. A characterful touch of wainscot panelling and tiling, and an obscure window provides natural light and privacy.
