This intriguing property, known as The Retreat, showcases a blend of Victorian and Georgian architectural elements. It is characterized by traditional stone walls and a slate roof, and while much of the original charm remains intact inside, there are still considerable opportunities for enhancement. Recent updates include heating and electrical installations, making this property a solid foundation to further modernize. Stunning countryside views can be appreciated from the extensive gardens, which are filled with mature shrubs and trees, providing a serene backdrop for potential expansion or landscaping projects.
Entering through an attractive pillared porch, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall. The heart of the home lies in the well-sized kitchen featuring classic cottage-style windows and an inglenook fireplace with an Aga oven. This is complemented by two reception rooms that could easily be reconfigured into one larger space if desired. The ground floor also includes a generous utility room, a study, and a cloakroom.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms equipped with fireplaces in both the principal room and another bedroom, along with a family bathroom. There’s also notable potential in converting the sizable attic into additional living space or bedrooms after obtaining necessary consents.
Set across approximately a third of an acre, the gardens are divided into three main areas offering various features such as ornamental ponds and mature trees. Additionally, two garden buildings provide storage options with development potential subject to consent. The property also boasts an attached garage along with extra parking capacity for vehicles or even leisure equipment like boats.
Located in Goveton village within South Hams' scenic landscapes, this home is ideal for those looking to invest in property that combines character with significant potential for further development or personalisation.
