Riverside, Totnes

The Accommodation

Entrance Hall

The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the house and gives access to the principal ground-floor rooms. A staircase rises to the first floor, with useful storage provided beneath.

Sitting Room

Positioned towards the rear of the house, the sitting room is a wonderfully light and spacious reception room, with windows to three aspects drawing natural light into the space throughout the day.

A gas fire with traditional surround provides an attractive focal point, while the generous proportions allow for a variety of furniture arrangements. With outlooks towards the surrounding gardens, the room has a particularly pleasant connection with the outside space.

Second Reception Room

A further reception room adds considerable versatility to the ground-floor accommodation. Currently arranged as a drawing room, French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural relationship between the house and its outside spaces.

Equally suited as a snug, home office, reading room or more informal sitting room, it is a valuable addition to the principal living accommodation.

Kitchen/Diner

Extending across the front of the property, the kitchen and dining room is another notably light space, with windows to three aspects and generous proportions for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry and work surfaces, together with a gas hob, eye-level electric oven, sink with mixer tap and space for a freestanding fridge. While perfectly serviceable in its current form, the room presents an excellent opportunity for a future owner to modernise and create a kitchen tailored to their own taste.

Alongside the kitchen is a generous dining area, with ample room for a substantial dining table and an attractive setting for both everyday meals and more formal occasions. A side door opens directly onto a patio area within the garden, particularly convenient for outdoor dining during the warmer months.

Cloakroom

The ground-floor cloakroom comprises a WC and wash basin, together with useful fitted cupboard space providing additional storage. A frosted window introduces natural light.

First Floor Landing

The staircase rises to a bright first-floor landing, where a large window above the stairs draws an abundance of natural light into the space and provides an attractive outlook across the established gardens.

The landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family shower room, together with an airing cupboard offering useful storage and access to the loft.

Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom is an impressive room extending across the width of the property and offering particularly generous proportions.

A range of fitted wardrobes provides extensive storage while leaving ample floor space for additional bedroom furniture. Its size and arrangement allow the room to be comfortably divided into sleeping and dressing areas, creating a particularly spacious principal suite.

An adjoining room is currently arranged as a peaceful home office, although its versatility lends itself equally well to use as a dedicated dressing room or walk-in wardrobe. Subject to any necessary consents and works, the space may also offer potential for the creation of an en suite. A further storage cupboard adds to the practicality of the room.

Bedroom Two & Three

The two remaining bedrooms are both pleasantly proportioned and enjoy good levels of natural light from their double-glazed windows.

The rooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests, with either also lending itself well to use as an additional study or hobby room if required.

Shower Room

The family shower room has been attractively modernised in a light and understated palette. It comprises a generous walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, creating a fresh and practical space serving the first-floor accommodation.

The Gardens & Grounds

Arundel is approached across a private driveway, providing ample off-road parking and leading to the attached garage. Alongside, the beautifully maintained front garden creates an attractive first impression, principally laid to lawn with established planting and landscaping framing the approach to the house.

A pathway continues alongside the property and into the rear garden, which wraps around the side and rear elevations and is thoughtfully arranged into a series of distinct outdoor spaces.

Immediately adjoining the kitchen and dining room is a patio, ideally positioned for alfresco dining and entertaining. From here, the garden opens onto an attractive lawned area, creating a pleasant sense of space around the house.

Continued

An outbuilding within the garden provides useful additional space and offers potential for a variety of uses, including a garden office or studio, subject to any necessary works and consents.

Continuing around the property, a further landscaped area forms an attractive and more secluded part of the garden. Established planting provides visual interest, while an additional patio creates another inviting place to sit and enjoy the surroundings and sunshine throughout the day.

The garden also provides pedestrian access into the garage, together with a useful external storage cupboard.
