Full Description
A Grade 2 listed period home with outstanding sea and estuary views. This high-quality period residence includes many impressive internal features. It is located in a quiet residential cul-de-sac in the popular seaside towns of Teignmouth. Built in the 1850s, two years before Balmoral, by the same group of architects, it was visited by royal associates shortly before Balmoral was commissioned and built with many similar internal features. Over the years, its residents and visitors have included descendants of the Russian royal family and Vivien Leigh and her husbands. She may have practised for 'Gone with the Wind' on the grand staircase. The large, mostly south-facing windows are double-glazed with secondary, sealed units to keep the building warm in winter but with pelmets to shield the sun in summer. Originally part of a large mansion this property was converted from three flats to a traditional house house in 2009. This included complete rewiring, replumbing, insulating and soundproofing to modern standards etc. Although designed as a beautiful family home, the property is currently run as a holiday let and has great potential for additional income as a high-end B&B or from holiday units in the extensive grounds. The property is freehold, probably council tax band E, but currently unrated.
