Property description
Watership is a smartly presented, individual home that was constructed to a high standard in 1997 in a unique location on the edge of the coastal town of Teignmouth. The property enjoys a wealth of flexible accommodation (indeed, it could easily incorporate a self contained annexe) and a fabulous cliff top position, which takes full advantage of the truly breathtaking direct sea views. In addition to the stylish and well thought-out accommodation, the property is very well specified with features such as a fully fitted contemporary kitchen, electric gates, double garage and cctv, all of which add to the sophisticated feel that house exudes.
Constructed over two floors, the accommodation includes a fantastic lounge with wonderful sea views, a kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms (master with en suite) and a bathroom on the upper level (which is at ground level at the rear of the property, so opens directly into the gardens). The lower level (at ground level at the front of the property) comprises of a large 4th bedroom with ensuite, plus a utility/kitchenette and direct access to the front driveway.
