DESCRIPTION

Yannon Towers is one of the most "eye catching" period buildings within the coastal town of Teignmouth believed to have been built in 1851 in the baronial castle style and with the property offering a real sense of past grandeur. The house comes with a degree of provenance, having been home to a well connected family in the first part of the 20th Century believed to have entertained various film stars of the day at the house. The building was converted to three dwellings in 2009 and number 1 forms the dominant part of the building. The imposing external aesthetics have to be seen to be appreciated with the house having a tower with crenulations and castellations, there is a turret, oriel style windows, finials, gargoyles, mullion style windows and a grand entrance door with a dressed stonework surround. The accommodation within the property is equally impressive, the entrance hall has a grand staircase with carved balustrades rising to the first floor, parquet flooring extends through much of the ground floor and there is a cloakroom WC. The free flowing sitting dining room is a remarkable space with a high ceiling having intricately carved timber work, finials and panelling, along with extraordinary carved arches. Within the sitting room there is a fireplace with an ornate carved surround and a large walk in bay window taking good advantage of the coastal views, as do most of the windows within the property. The dining room has ample space for a large dining table and chairs, perfect for entertaining and with this space having a door with feature panelling and architrave opening to the kitchen, another attractive space with a good range of units and various features. To the first floor the landing has a grand carved balustrade and there is a large leaded light stained glass window above the half landing. Stairs rise to the second floor and a cast spiral staircase rises to bedroom five and the tower. There are two good sized bedrooms leading off the first floor landing, both benefitting from exceptional views and a modern shower room. To the second floor there are two further bedrooms, again both with extraordinary coastal views and a luxury five piece bathroom. Leading off the spiral cast staircase bedroom five is a beautiful triple aspect room also with truly breathtaking coastal views. The tower itself is a remarkable space with crenulations and a turret having breathtaking views from Dartmoor in the west and taking in a broad sweep of the Teign Estuary and out to sea, as well as having wonderful elevated perspectives of the town. The property also has an attached garage, a cellar and a good sized parking area. There are extensive gardens and grounds with broad sweeps of lawn on the south and east sides of the property, being landscaped with seating areas.
