Property description

Martyn house is a substantial and well presented 5 double bedroom Georgian family residence situated in the heart of the coastal village of Combe Martin. The property also has a large garage, private driveway, large rear gardens and an abundance of original character features.

Originally constructed in 1805, Martyn House is a very spacious (2045 sq ft) detached Georgian residence situated in a central and convenient location in the heart of the popular coastal village of Combe Martin. Despite its central position, the property enjoys a good deal of privacy and is approached via its own private driveway which provides plenty of off road parking and turning space and leads to a large garage. The current vendor has renovated the whole property to a high standard.

The property sits in a generously plot which stretches up away from the property and has an array of current uses, with a vegetable plot and a patio area. From the top of the garden excellent views can be enjoyed over the village and surrounding countryside and down the valley towards the Bristol Channel.

The house itself has particularly flexible accommodation arranged over 3 floors and is considered ideal for the larger family or for a family with dependant relative. The property benefits from gas central heating and has uPVC double glazing and an abundance of original character features.

There is a spacious entrance hallway with a decorative tiled floor which has the stairs to the first floor with a useful store cupboard under.

A 5 ring gas range cooker with extractor hood is complimented by a tiled splashback alongside a sink and drainer. At the other end of this room, a large exposed stone wall brings a huge amount of character to this space, giving enough room to dine and entertain. Two doors lead out to the rear of the property and up to the gardens

On the first floor there is a split level landing and the stairs that lead up to the second floor.

There is a large garage which has light and power and up and over door and a pedestrian access door leads out to the front onto a small area of lawned garden.
