This imposing and handsome attached Grade II Listed residence occupies a plot of around half an acre and is conveniently situated on the western outskirts of Honiton.
The substantial dwelling, named Burwood, offers a classic example of Regency Gothic architecture and has origins dating back to the early 19th century.
In recent times, the property has been subject to a comprehensive programme of improvement with a new roof and central heating system whilst retaining a wealth of character features, all of which aid in creating an elegant living environment. Period features include ornate cornicing in many of the rooms, marble fireplaces, and stained and acid-etched glass in the front lobby.
Inside, beyond the wide entrance hallway an original staircase, there is a stunning drawing room with wide double doors that open to a beautifully proportioned dining
room and a welcoming sitting room with a large bay window flanked by shutters and a marble open fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a modern, classic look and has been fitted to a high standard by System Six. The kitchen has a handy central island, an Aga and lovely white worktops.
On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom. The large principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a beautiful ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom with a free-standing claw foot bath and separate shower.
Outside, south-facing gardens lie predominantly to the rear where there is a range of outbuildings including a former coach house and various stores and workshops. The walled gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are interspersed with a huge variety of colourful plants, shrubs and trees, including an orchard to the south.
At the front, a new concrete driveway provides ample space for parking and gives access to the attached garage.
