Property description
Fine sea and countryside views can be enjoyed from this detached 1930s residence of approximately 3500 sq ft, boasting many character features and standing in 1.9 acres of secluded grounds including a small campsite and two holiday cottages, all providing valuable income.
Tucked away on the edge of Dawlish, less than two miles from the town centre, Lockwood House offers direct access to the A379 to Exeter and beyond and is also well located for a regular bus service and pleasant country walks.
Lockwood House is a grand and imposing detached house oozing much character, typical of its era, including ornate timber panelling, picture rails, dado rails, feature fireplaces, parquet flooring, a recently restored well and an impressive vaulted ceiling to the en suite bathroom located in The Tower. In total the property offers approximately 3500 sq ft of accommodation with the ground floor comprising an elegant reception hall, off which is a utility and cloakroom, a stunning, dual-aspect kitchen/diner, triple-aspect living room with woodburner, formal dining room and a study which could also be used as a ground floor bedroom. The fine sea and countryside views can be enjoyed from the first floor which comprises a large landing, five double bedrooms, four of which boast ensuite facilities, plus the family bathroom. The plot extends to approximately 1.9 acres; gently sloping, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by tall hedging and fencing, ensuring a high degree of privacy and seclusion. There is also a large patio area, perfect for entertaining. A tarmac and gravelled driveway provides excessive parking and leads to a double garage with electric roller door, above which is a versatile studio/multi-purpose room.
Also within the grounds are two, totally self-contained and fully furnished holiday units. Lockwood Bungalow sleeps four whilst The Roost sleeps two. 0.75 acres forms a Camping and Caravanning Club 5CS campsite, permitted to host up to five caravans/motorhomes and 15 tents, with electric hook-ups, chemical disposal point, WiFi connection and a recently installed shower block. The property has previously been run as a successful B&B, with the two staircases allowing the owner and guest accommodation to be kept separate.
