Description

A fine Grade II Listed Georgian detached house with a flexible layout, in the heart of Thorverton Brook Lodge is an attractive Grade II Listed Georgian house which dates from the early 18th century. The property features elegant period features and a flexible layout in that it can be enjoyed as a five bedroom house or alternatively as a three bedroom house with connecting doors on both floors to a two bedroom self-contained annexe with its own independent access from the courtyard, as is the current arrangement. The primary accommodation has a comfortable sitting room with a wood burner and a dual aspect, including two sets of French doors opening onto the garden. The 31ft kitchen has slate tiled flooring, a dining area, a living area with a wood burner and French doors to the garden. The Tobys kitchen has Mylands painted solid oak shaker style units, a central island, solid oak wooden worktops, integrated Neff ovens, Neff induction hob, integrated fridge/freezer and a Smeg dishwasher. Off here is the main entrance hall with a cloakroom. Also off the kitchen is a boot room leading to the south facing terrace. The study/music room has an attractive staircase which leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom with en suite bathroom with a Karndean floor and a dressing room off. The first floor also has a family bathroom, again with a Karndean floor. Listed Building Consent has recently been granted to turn bedroom 3 into an en suite bathroom for bedroom 2 and also to turn the family bathroom into a bedroom, thus creating a larger third bedroom. The annexe has its own independent private access from the courtyard at the back of the house and this annexe accommodation is connected to the main house via internal doors on both the ground and first floors, making it very simple to incorporate back into the main house (as it was originally) if required. The annexe includes a new fully equipped Ikea kitchen (the previous utility room for the main house) and a sitting room on the ground floor with stairs leading up to the en suite double bedroom, plus a further walk through study/bedroom 5. Outside The house occupies a privileged position in the heart of the village and includes a delightful sunny walled garden. The entrance for vehicles is behind the house, with wrought-iron gates opening onto a cobbled courtyard and providing access to the double garage and stable block/barn with cobbled flooring and original oak stalls. The stables are in need of renovation and are ripe for conversion subject to the necessary consents. The garden is mostly to the front and side of the house and being south facing welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes a gravel seating area and a level lawn, with established border shrubs. There is a gate for pedestrian access at the foot of the garden. Situation The village of Thorverton is a thriving community, set amidst beautiful Devon countryside. The village has an annual art festival in the church, and a country show, as well as a thriving cricket club, a church, post office, farm shop, village primary school, preschool, village hall and two well-regarded pubs, both serving food. Exeter, approximately 7.5 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with the theatre, the museum, arts centre and a wealth of good shopping and restaurants including a John Lewis and a Waitrose supermarket. The M5 motorway provides links to the A38 to Plymouth, or the A30 to Cornwall to the South, and Bristol and London to the north and east. Regular rail services run from Exeter St. David’s to London Paddington, taking just over two hours. Exeter International Airport provides an ever-increasing number of domestic and international flights. The area offers a good selection of noted independent schools including Exeter School, The Maynard and Exeter Cathedral School.
