Property description
THE PROPERTY An interesting detached house built circa.1934 and originally known as 'Cresthill Dairy' run as a business and working dairy. The property has been used in the past for business purposes and the current owners have lived here for nearly 30 years and enjoyed it as a family home. The property provides excellent parking facilities on the drive and within the courtyard. It has a range of outbuildings to the rear which currently provide a large office which at one stage was used as a garage, an adjoining workshop serviced with power etc., a lean-to greenhouse and outside store. Clearly these outbuildings offer good potential for example for conversion to annexe accommodation or perhaps to adapt to another business use, subject of course to obtaining any necessary approval.
The property itself also offers good potential, for example the dining room was originally two rooms and could be easily remodelled to sub-divide to again create two rooms, retaining a dining room and perhaps having a downstairs study or fourth bedroom. Also the loft has been adapted to provide two spacious loft rooms with Velux windows, power etc. and there is clear potential here for conversion to additional accommodation.
The property has been looked after over the years and has renewed roof coverings and a good standard of insulation in various areas including the loft and the office. There is easy street parking.
LOCATION Set in this popular established residential area of Beacon Park where there are a variety of local services and amenities nearby, lying in close proximity to Montpelier School and Devonport High School for Girls. With convenient access into the city and close by connection to major routes in other direcctions.
