This fine property was built around 2000 by Sir Alfred MacAlpine South West Homes Limited on their small, sought-after executive style development in the grounds of the original Harpitt House. The house is in very tidy and clean order throughout, yet some may wish to refurbish and modernise it to their own taste and with the number of rooms, this could be done room by room over time.
The Seddons Video Tour shows the whole story, but the notable features of the property are the extensive kitchen/breakfast room running along the back of the house, with an adjoining dining room and separate sitting room. The versatile dining room could lend itself for use as a playroom, home office or a fifth bedroom if preferred. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom with an ensuite shower room. The family shower room is fitted with a large shower cubicle and white suite.
Outside, there is ample parking on approach to the property leading to the double garage, which could be used for extensive storage, a workshop or gym, or less usually these days, enclosed parking for cars!
A small front garden provides a pleasant foreground to the house and paths lead either side to the rear garden. This is principally laid to lawn with established shrubs and a paved patio in the far corner to make the most of the south-westerly aspect and afternoon and evening sunshine. A small garden shed adjoins the patio.
