DESCRIPTION: This fine detached house was built to an individual design and high specification in 1996. It occupies a secluded level site in excess of 1/3 of an acre in a favoured road just over 1/2 mile from the town centre and the beach.

Charlecote's distinctive design provides most adaptable accommodation with a ground floor bedroom suite offering the opportunity of living on the ground floor with guest accommodation on the first floor and the possibility of creating a ground floor annexe, subject to any required consents. The design also places the principal rooms at the rear of the house where they enjoy a sunny Southerly aspect over the secluded rear garden. The front elevation to some extent disguises the property's size but on entering the front door there is an immediate impression of space and light with a vaulted, galleried hall and a wide glazed screen providing a view of the rear garden through the sitting room. This well proportioned, double aspect room has an imposing fireplace and there is a separate, L-shaped dining room. This could be used as a fifth bedroom, a study/office or in conjunction with the ground floor bedroom suite to provide an annexe facility. There is ample dining space in the very large kitchen which is at present arranged as a multi-purpose living room with a comfortable sitting area and a breakfast table in the attractively appointed kitchen area. Leading off is a good utility room and an excellent garden room which is in use throughout the year and has two pairs of French doors opening onto the rear terrace. The ground floor bedroom has excellent built-in wardrobes and a well appointed shower room en-suite. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a guest cloakroom and a handsome staircase leads to the galleried first floor landing. There are three further bedrooms on this floor including the larger of the two suites with generous wardrobe space and a well appointed bathroom. The exceptionally large main bathroom has a power shower and leading off the fourth bedroom is a very useful workroom/store. The house has UPVC double glazed windows and a gas fired boiler in the garage supplies central heating and hot water.

Charlecote is set back from Bridge Road behind a spacious, brick paviour forecourt providing parking space for numerous vehicles and access to the double garage. This has an electrically operated door and convenient covered access from the utility room via a spacious porch with a gardener's/workman's WC. An attractive kitchen courtyard to the side of the house features a useful integral storeroom and there is also a garden store in the rear garden. This is level and exceptionally secluded with a Southerly aspect and is a superb feature of the property. Adjoining the rear of the house is a very large paved terrace and the spacious lawned garden beyond which has been kept simple with ease of maintenance in mind offers great scope as a "framed canvass" for the gardening enthusiast.

Rarely is it possible to purchase such a beautifully presented individual modern house of this size and quality on such a fine well located site and internal inspection is highly recommended.

SITUATION: Charlecote is most attractively situated in a favoured road of individual detached houses about 1/4 mile walk from Budleigh Salterton Bowls, Tennis and Croquet Clubs. The town centre and the beach are only a little over 1/2 mile away, Budleigh Salterton providing a good range of local shops and other amenities including the renowned East Devon Golf Club. The town is conveniently positioned for the M5, Exeter Airport and the Cathedral City which has a fast train service to London.

DIRECTIONS: Proceeding inland from Budleigh Salterton on the East Budleigh Road turn left after about 1/4 mile into Bridge Road where Charlecote is situated on the left hand side.
