A fantastic opportunity to acquire a period family home in the highly desirable estuary town of Topsham. The property features off-road parking, a double garage and a well-proportioned garden to the rear. The internal accommodation briefly consists of an entrance vestibule and hallway, a living room, a separate dining room, kitchen breakfast room, family room, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, across two floors, are the five double bedrooms with an en suite to the master, the main bathroom, and a study/hobby room.
The excellent location boasts a number of amenities nearby, including a range of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants. Topsham also offers a doctors’ surgery, a train station, plus cycle and walking routes along the Exe Estuary from Exmouth to Exeter.
Topsham dates back to the 1st century AD when the port was created to serve the Roman city of Exeter; the town still maintains strong maritime links with its sailing club and beautiful quay area. Topsham is approximately 4 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter, and close to junction 30 of the M5.
