Description - Okemead is a handsome and individual detached home, understood to date from the 1930s, set in a particularly generous plot of approximately 0.46 acres. The house has been well cared for over the years and is presented in good overall condition, though it would now benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation. Subject to the necessary consents, there is excellent potential to remodel or extend, with the beautifully landscaped gardens providing ample space and privacy for any future plans.

Internally, the accommodation is well laid out and notably light, with large windows, generous ceiling heights and a comfortable flow between living spaces. The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Accommodation - The property is entered via a central hallway, giving access to all principal ground floor rooms. To the left lies a superb sitting/dining room, an expansive dual-aspect space extending over 27 feet in length, with large windows to the front and rear and an attractive fireplace at its heart. Adjacent is a bright study, which could easily serve as a snug, playroom or occasional guest bedroom.

A traditional kitchen lies to the front of the house and overlooks the front garden and main drive. A large additional reception room to the far end of the ground floor enjoys triple aspect views and could serve equally well as a further sitting room, studio, or generous fourth bedroom. A ground floor bathroom and separate shower room lie off the main hall completing the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor offers three good-sized double bedrooms with views over the gardens and rooftops of Totnes. A family bathroom and separate WC serve the first floor, while access to eaves cupboards offers additional storage solutions.

Outside - Okemead is set in stunning landscaped gardens that wrap around the property on all sides, with an impressive range of mature planting, lawns, and specimen trees.

The rear garden is a particular highlight - expansive and private, with a broad level lawn framed by established hedging and colourful borders. A patio area directly behind the house offers an ideal spot for outdoor dining, with steps leading up through flower beds and a productive greenhouse nestled to one side.

The gardens have clearly been a much-loved feature of this home and are well stocked, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of Totnes.
