Description
Mead House is an impressive four bedroom detached Victorian Villa occupying a generous plot in an exceptionally convenient position between Torquay’s harbourside and Meadfoot.
The house has an attractive and established presence from Meadfoot Road with its handsome bay fronted architecture immediately setting the tone. Internally the accommodation has retained much of the character associated with its period including substantial bay windows ornate cornicing picture rails a Victorian fireplace and a stained glass window while providing the proportions and flexibility required for modern family life.
An entrance porch opens into the reception hall which provides an appealing introduction to the house and access to the principal ground floor rooms.
To the front are two particularly impressive reception rooms both benefiting from large bay windows which bring excellent natural light into the house. The dining room retains a Victorian fireplace with tiled inset and cast iron grate while the sitting room provides a generous everyday living space with French doors opening directly onto the garden.
A separate study provides a dedicated home working space without compromising any of the principal reception rooms.
The kitchen breakfast room offers a good range of fitted units with extensive work surfaces space for a range style cooker and room for informal dining. This is complemented by a separate utility room while a rear hall and boot room provide useful practical space and access to the courtyard. A ground floor cloakroom completes the principal accommodation on this level.
The first floor is arranged around a spacious landing where an attractive stained glass window provides another reminder of the house's period origins.
There are four well proportioned bedrooms including a principal bedroom with its own en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate shower.
An additional feature is the substantial cellar accessed by stone steps and currently arranged as two generous rooms with power and lighting. This provides excellent storage and workshop potential and is a particularly useful addition for a house of this type.
Mead House combines the proportions and architectural interest of a traditional detached residence with gardens parking and a location that places some of Torquay's best known coastal amenities within walking distance.
The outside space is an important part of the property with the house occupying a generous plot for such a central location.
The principal garden is enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn with established planting fruit producing plants and a paved seating area creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. French doors from the sitting room provide a direct connection between the house and garden.
To the rear is a courtyard together with the property's off road parking. Particularly unusual for this position there is parking for approximately three vehicles provided by a double width driveway together with a further single driveway.
