" A PARTICULARLY SPACIOUS DETACHED HOUSE ON A FINE SITE OF ABOUT 1/2 ACRE IN A QUIET SECLUDED LOCATION

Hall * Cloakroom * Sitting room with fireplace & patio doors * Study * Dining room with French doors * Beautifully fitted kitchen * Utility room * Superb principal suite * 4 further bedrooms - one en-suite * 3rd bathroom * Gas central heating * UPVC double glazing * Large double garage * Secluded 1/4 acre rear garden

DESCRIPTION: Lothlorien is wonderful family home, tucked away in a quiet secluded location on a plot of just under 1/2 acre. It has an exceptional rear garden of about 1/4 acre which enjoys a very high degree of privacy and a Westerly aspect. Offering great scope for children's games it is also likely to be very attractive to the gardening enthusiast.

The present owners have enlarged and updated the accommodation creating a very spacious, bright home with a practical layout and a wealth of good features. The gas central heating boiler was replaced in late 2007 and is complemented by UPVC double glazed windows featuring leaded glazing and a burglar alarm system has been installed. During the last two years the kitchen has been refurbished to a very high standard and stylish, engineered oak internal doors have been installed on the ground floor.

Leading off the spacious hall is a well appointed cloakroom and the principal ground floor rooms. The well proportioned sitting room has a double aspect with patio doors opening into the rear garden and a handsome marble and carved pine fireplace. There is a useful size study, currently used as a second sitting room and both this and the kitchen/dining room also overlook the rear garden. French doors from the dining room provide garden access and an archway opens into the kitchen. Recently updated with a fine range of pale oak units with granite worktops and an island unit, this incorporates a large dual fuel range cooker and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave cooker. A door from the dining room opens into a long utility room which has a generous range of additional cupboards incorporating a second sink, provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer and convenient access to both the rear garden and the garage.

The unusually spacious principal bedroom suite enjoys a pleasant degree of separation from the other bedroom accommodation. It has built-in wardrobes, an attractive view to distant countryside and a luxuriously appointed shower room en-suite. All four remaining bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, the second bedroom also having a bathroom en-suite with shower cubicle. There is a third bathroom with over-bath shower and a spacious airing cupboard which houses a pump providing power to all three showers.

Lothlorien has an imposing entrance and an attractive front garden with a spacious forecourt providing good turning/parking space and leading to the garage. This is unusually large and has twin, remote controlled doors.

Rarely does the opportunity occur to purchase such a spacious, attractive and practical family home on such a fine site and inspection is highly recommended.

SITUATION: Lothlorien is situated at the end of a private gravel drive enjoying an ideal Easterly/Westerly aspect and an exceptional level of seclusion. It is only just over 1/2 mile from the town centre and within 1/2 mile of the local shop. Budleigh Salterton tennis, bowls and croquet clubs are little over 1/4 mile walk away and St Peter's primary school is within 3/4 mile. The town has a fine range of shops and facilities including its pretty pebble beach and the renowned East Devon Golf Club.

DIRECTIONS: From the traffic lights at the top of Budleigh Salterton High Street proceed up Station Road passing The Green on the left hand side and continuing around the right hand bend into Upper Stoneborough Lane. Shortly turn left into Leas Road and right at the T-junction into Copp Hill Lane. Follow the road around the sharp left hand bend and where it turns right into Bridge Road keep straight on. After a few yards the drive to Lothlorien will be seen on the left hand side.
