Fore Street, Kingskerswell, TQ12

This substantial and characterful five-bedroom, three-bathroom period family home is arranged over three generous floors and is rich in original features throughout. Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys far-reaching views towards Dartmoor from many of its rooms and has been a much-loved family home for the same owners for the past 34 years.

The accommodation is both spacious and highly versatile, offering well-proportioned rooms and a flexible layout that would suit a variety of living arrangements. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an impressive entrance hall showcasing an original period cantilever staircase, which immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. The hall also benefits from a large under-stairs storage cupboard, ideal for coats, shoes and household storage.

The ground floor provides excellent living and entertaining space and currently comprises a generous main lounge with a feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is a further reception room, originally the formal dining room and now used as a study/home office or second lounge, which again benefits from an attractive feature fireplace and offers flexibility depending on a buyer’s needs. The kitchen is fitted with a combination of bespoke and freestanding solid pine units, complemented by granite worktops. Additional features include a floor-to-ceiling corner pantry/fridge, a traditional Belfast sink and a Range-style cooker, making the space both highly practical and full of period charm. Leading from the kitchen is a conservatory that is currently used as the dining room, providing a bright and airy space for family meals and entertaining while enjoying views across the surrounding area.

Following on from the main ground-floor accommodation is a purpose-built one-bedroom annexe, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses. The annexe comprises a bedroom, lounge, a wet room and a laundry room, and benefits from its own separate rear and side access. This self-contained space is ideal for elderly or multi-generational relatives, visiting guests, home working, or could provide a valuable opportunity for rental or Airbnb income, subject to any necessary consents.

The first floor of the main house comprises three larger-than-average double bedrooms, all of which retain period feature fireplaces and offer pleasant outlooks. Also on this level is an exceptionally spacious family bathroom, which continues the period charm with the inclusion of a fireplace and provides ample space for modern fittings while retaining its original character.

Occupying the second floor is the impressive principal bedroom suite, providing a private and peaceful retreat away from the main living areas. This space benefits from its own en-suite bathroom along with ample built-in wardrobes and cupboard storage, making excellent use of the available space and enjoying far-reaching views towards Dartmoor.

Further benefits include gas central heating and full double glazing throughout, while still retaining many original period features such as window shutters in the lounge and study. The property also offers an abundance of storage across all floors and presents considerable scope for reconfiguration or multi-occupancy living, allowing the accommodation to be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyles.

The property is conveniently positioned on a bus route serving Torbay Hospital and is within close proximity to a range of local amenities. These include schools, local pubs, a medical centre and local supermarket.

Viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the size, character, versatility and setting of this exceptional period home. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
