The inner hall has an attractive turning staircase to the first floor, a cloakroom/utility with space for appliances plus an attractively tiled shower cubicle. In addition, there is access to a boiler room which is ideal storage for bikes, etc.
To the front of the ground floor, there is a pleasant sitting room with a characterful feature fireplace, exposed beams and brickwork.

Both the dining area and kitchen/family breakfast room form part of an exquisite extension carried out by the current owners. This newly added kitchen/breakfast/family room enjoys stunning views over the gardens, flooded with light from four sky lights, windows to the side and bi folding doors to the rear. The kitchen area benefits from an extensive range of cupboard and drawer units with work surface over, induction hob with double oven, integrated dishwasher, inset ceramic sink with Quooker boiling/filtered water tap and drainer and space for American style fridge freezer.

A turning staircase with window and sky light provides access to the second floor with two further bedrooms, a modern white suite bathroom plus an occasional roof terrace.
The rear garden is a particular feature measuring around 110 ft. The attractive gardens are largely laid to lawn with a patio at the end and enjoy trees and shrubs on both sides for privacy. The garden can also be directly accessed from the inner hall. In addition, there is outside lighting and tap and a single garage located in a nearby block.
Situation
Monmouth Street is one of Topsham's oldest streets and considered to be one of the town's most desirable addresses located in the heart of the conservation area. The street is said to have been named after the Duke of Monmouth following his visit in 1680, where he is reputed to have addressed the people of Topsham from the bay window of number 9. As well as a home, the house is also believed to have been an Inn at one time, being known as The Duke of Monmouth until around the 1912. Topsham remains a highly desirable estuary town of nationwide renown. Its excellent amenities include individual shops, restaurants and a well-regarded Primary school along with churches and Topsham’s popular open-air swimming pool, rugby club, bowls club and sailing club. Exeter Golf & Country Club is less than two miles distant. There is a frequent bus service and a very useful train link to Exeter City centre which is just 4 miles away and Exmouth which is around 6.5 miles away. The popular ‘Route 2’ bike path is a level, 16 mile route between Exmouth and Dawlish on the other side of the Exe Estuary.
Directions
