LOCATION
Topsham is one of the jewels in Devon’s crown, a beautiful and historic town, originally dating from the first century AD, when it was the port of the Roman city of Isca Dumnoniorum (Exeter). Sitting on the eastern banks of the Exe Estuary, Topsham offers excellent facilities with award-winning restaurants, coffee shops and pubs, and an eclectic mix of independent galleries and shops.

A notable feature of Topsham is Darts Farm, a working farm and unique shopping destination, which has won numerous awards for excellence. Darts Farm can be reached on foot from Rosapenna along the Exe Estuary Trail.

Topsham hosts several annual events, festivals and clubs including an open-air swimming pool, a sailing club, a bowling club, cricket and rugby clubs.

Dartmoor National Park is within about 15 miles and a destination for hiking, walking, riding and other outdoor activities. The Cathedral City of Exeter is about 5 miles, and home to the Princesshay Shopping Centre, with John Lewis, there are theatres, cinemas, leisure facilities, and a range of supermarkets including Waitrose. The area is served with a selection of excellent State and Independent Schools, and the highly regarded University of Exeter.

Topsham railway station provides regular services to Exmouth, Exeter and beyond offering convenient access for both commuting and leisure travel. A short drive takes you to the M5 motorway heading north or south or the A303 to Exeter International Airport and beyond.

THE PROPERTY
Rosapenna sits in an excellent plot and offers an exciting opportunity for further development subject to necessary planning consents.

Beyond the sitting room is the dining area providing a more formal area to dine if desired. Again, from the dining area there are views out over the garden and beyond.

The kitchen has a wide range of wall, base and drawer units, and a serving hatch into the dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen are a couple of utility spaces, a cloakroom and a larder, there is also a side door out onto the driveway.

In total, there are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further cloakroom completing the accommodation. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are of particular interest with a view out over the gardens.
