Property description
DESCRIPTION Number 5 & 7 Glenholt Road is a substantial detached property, originally built in the 1920's and extended to the first floor in 1960. The property is currently arranged as two separate dwellings and is ideal for multi-generational use, offering independent living for an older relative or the needs of an expanding family. However, with the installation of an internal staircase, the property is easily converted to a magnificent six bedroom family home.
The property stands on a generously proportioned plot which is beautifully maintained and incorporates level front and rear gardens, offering a good degree of privacy, two separate driveways providing multiple off road parking, a double and single garage and a workshop. The gardens are also designed to accommodate two families if required. There are far reaching views towards Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside.
The first of the independent dwellings, number 5, is presented to an extremely high standard throughout, whilst still retaining much of the character you would expect from a period property, coupled with modern benefits such as the impressive, architecturally designed conservatory which was commissioned and constructed in 2012 to an exceptionally high specification. Original stained glass doors lead into the welcoming reception hallway which in turn leads onto the sitting room, dining room, a modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, three double bedrooms, the master having the benefit of an en-suite shower room and a principal bathroom.
External steps to the rear give independent access to number 7, which was added to the original building in 1960. This separate apartment offers a further conservatory, reception hallway, sitting room, breakfast room, fitted kitchen and a three further bedrooms. The accommodation is once again presented to a high standard throughout with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. Number 7 is held on a 999 year lease commencing 1960.
As previously mentioned, this unique property would suit multi-occupancy, however, it would also make a magnificent family home by the installation of a staircase from the ground to the first floor. Mansbridge & Balment strongly recommend an internal viewing to truly appreciate the size and quality of this wonderful family home.
