'Down Orchard' is a beautifully presented, detached house enjoying an extremely private situation within this highly sought after residential area near the town centre and sea front of Budleigh Salterton.
The house is complimented by stunning, landscaped gardens which provide tranquility and scenery in equal measure. The plot is in excess of a quarter of an acre, which is an extremely rare asset for such an area as Little Knowle.
Tastefully decorated throughout, many of the principal rooms enjoy double aspects and charming, southerly views over the gardens. On the ground floor the attractive entrance porch leads via a stable door to the welcoming reception hall. On the west side of the house is the sitting room which benefits from under floor heating and a triple aspect with double doors out to the garden. The log burning effect, gas fire creates a lovely focal point and helps provide two distinct areas, one to relax and one to entertain.
On the other side of the reception hall is the dining room which has views over the gardens and leads directly to the quiet yet convenient, separate study. This in turn leads into the kitchen / breakfast area with another entrance to the side porch with a separate cloakroom off and access to the driveway adjacent to the house
The kitchen is well fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units, and porcelain tiles. The highlight is the gas fired Aga which has a remote intelligent management system. The utility provides further workspace and cupboards whilst also having space and plumbing for all laundry appliances.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms enjoy aspect over the gardens both the master and guest room provide en-suites of the highest quality, whilst a generously sized family bathroom serves the third bedroom. There is a separate room which can be used as an occasional bedroom or could easily be incorporated into the master bedroom to create a walk-in dressing area.
Outside, there are two entrances to the property, both provide ample private parking. The rear entrance leads through private gates and directly to the detached garage, which could easily be extended if required
There is an insulated studio which has power and offers a quiet space all year round to undertake hobbies or simply enjoy the gardens. The patio terrace is an ideal area for al fresco dining complete with a barbecue area to the side. Other notable assets include a shed, an established pergola and the babbling brook which creates a lovely sound and a charming boundary between the formal and wild areas of gardens. The mainly level gardens are stunning, being stocked with a large variety of trees and shrubs which provide colour throughput the seasons.
Viewings are available by appointment only.
