The Strand, Topsham

This is unquestionably one of the finest properties in Topsham, located on one of its premier residential roads. With its iconic Dutch gables, it is an attractive and substantial home offering beautiful, characterful and versatile accommodation of 3071 sq ft laid out over 3 floors.

In recent years, the property has undergone a superb schedule of enlargement and reconfiguration but retains many original features including ceiling beams, original fireplaces, parquet flooring and alcoves, all of which add to the obvious character and charm enjoyed by the property.

A covered porch with front door leads through to the dining hallway with feature Dutch brick fireplace. The triple aspect sitting room has an open fire. The hub of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining room with seating area in front of a wood burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a wide array of units, large Aga with 4 ring gas hob, full height integral fridge and dishwasher, as well as central island with wine fridge. Off the kitchen is an inner hallway with cloakroom, utility room with integral full height freezer. The large garden room is a delightful room with doors to the walled garden.

Two staircases lead to the first floor which has 3 double bedrooms, the principal room having ensuite facilities. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the other 2 bedrooms. On the second floor are 2 further double bedrooms, either side of a through modern 4 piece family bathroom with free standing bath. There are some views of the river from the upper floor front windows.

The gardens are notable, well established and enjoy much privacy. From the Strand, an electronically operated door leads to a gravelled parking area. The wisteria clad front wall has a pedestrian gate as well. In the centre is a lawn, several patios and seating areas, and a number of colourful shrub and flower beds, greenhouse and sheds. Facing South Westerly, the gardens are an enchanting enclave close to the estuary. There are a number of fruit trees in the garden including plum, apricot, fig, pear and apple. There is also a greenhouse where both red and white grapes are grown.

There is ample parking on the driveway, sufficient for at least 4 cars, an absolute bonus in Topsham!

There is also a single garage space which is located opposite the property in Strand Court.
