Location

Kimberley occupies a discreet position just off Totnes' historic Narrows. This charming and thriving market town sits on the River Dart and is renowned for its vibrant cultural scene, independent shops, twice weekly markets and strong sense of community. Totnes has long been known for its creative atmosphere, ethical retailing and rich architectural heritage, boasting an unusually high concentration of listed buildings, an ancient Guildhall and its prominent Norman castle. Schooling in the area is excellent with a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools. The mainline railway station at Totnes offers a regular intercity service to London in under 3 hours. The A38 Devon Expressway (9 miles) connects Plymouth and Exeter with the M5 beyond. Beautiful countryside surrounds the town, the Dartmoor National Park is about 7 miles to the north with the sandy beaches of the South Hams being about 10 miles to the south.

Description

Converted from the town's former Cyder Barn, dating back to the early 1800s, this remarkable home has been comprehensively renovated to create a refined and versatile residence. The result is a beautifully balanced blend of original character and contemporary comfort, arranged around generous, well appointed living spaces and a superb landscaped garden.

The ground floor centres around an impressive kitchen/breakfast room extending to approximately 8.37m (27'6"). The layout has been carefully considered for modern living, incorporating excellent preparation areas, a large central island and direct access to the garden. Adjoining this is a useful utility room and separate store.
The sitting room is a welcoming and substantial space, featuring a wood burner. A snug sits just beyond, providing a second informal living area ideal for reading, relaxing or entertaining. A well proportioned study/hobby room with feature glazed wall lies at the far end of the house, perfectly suited to home working.
Also on the ground floor is Bedroom four, a versatile room suitable for guests or additional living needs, served by a nearby shower room.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing with three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal suite is an elegant and generous room, offering an outlook over the garden and benefiting from excellent proportions and a vaulted ceiling.

The garden is unusually generous for a property so close to Totnes' historic centre, and its size allows for multiple seating or dining areas to enjoy the changing light throughout the day. With a combination of open lawn, productive growing space and mature landscaping, the grounds offer an appealing blend of practicality and charm.

Kimberley is accessed via a shared block paved pedestrian path leading to large double gates set within a stone archway. Orchard Waye provides vehicle access to the rear where there are a further pair of wooden gates opening to off street parking, a significant asset in this part of Totnes.
