A rare period house in Topsham offering four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a newly fitted kitchen — ideal for a family seeking character and modern comforts. The house dates from the 1790s and has been updated by the current owners, with recent renovations to key areas while retaining original beams, exposed brick and a large period fireplace with a log burner.
Outside, the property benefits from generous off-street parking including a double garage, a useful annexe with water and electricity, and attractively landscaped rear gardens with lawn and patio. Its position close to the Exe Estuary and local amenities makes it appealing for daily life and recreational pursuits.
Practical points to note: the building’s stone walls are recorded as original granite with no assumed insulation, so heating costs and further insulating work should be considered despite the mains gas boiler and radiators. The plot is described as small, and the layout is multi-story with some eaves storage — good for family living but less suitable for mobility limitations.
This is a chain-free freehold home in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It will suit buyers who value period character but want a property already improved in many areas; further insulation or conservation-sensitive upgrades may be required depending on long-term plans.
