THE PROPERTY
Rosabelle is a substantial early-19th-century detached residence, distinguished by elegant proportions, rendered elevations and a classically detailed entrance portico. Tall sash windows, high ceilings and generous rooms reflect its Georgian character, while later additions have created a versatile family home.
Period details include decorative cornices and ceiling mouldings, panelled doors, deep skirting boards and distinctive fireplaces. Its elevated position also provides views across Totnes towards the surrounding countryside.
ACCOMMODATION
The columned portico opens into a welcoming hallway. Beyond, the principal reception room comprises two interconnected spaces linked by a wide arch. Tall sash windows provide plentiful natural light, while elaborate mouldings and ornate fireplaces create a strong sense of occasion.
A separate sitting room offers a quieter retreat, while the formal dining room features an exposed stone chimney breast and stove. The impressive vaulted kitchen and informal dining area is a generous, light-filled space at the heart of the house, with rooflights, glazed doors, extensive cabinetry and exposed stonework. Doors open directly onto a courtyard, extending the space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A utility room and cloakroom provide useful additional space.
The ground floor also contains a well-proportioned en suite bedroom with full-height glazing and courtyard access, making it ideal for guests or entrance-level living. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the first floor. The generous principal bedroom has tall sash windows, with views across the town and countryside.
On the upper floor, the sixth bedroom enjoys a private position beneath the roofline, with windows on either side and an en suite shower room. Together, the ground-floor en suite bedroom and private upper-floor suite provide excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family or guests.
OUTSIDE
A gated entrance opens onto an extensive driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to the garage. Walled courtyards, laid with artificial lawn and softened by climbing plants and container planting, provide secluded spaces for dining and relaxation.
An additional enclosed garden runs alongside the house, bordered by a characterful stone wall and arranged for easy maintenance. It includes several seating areas, a garden shed and direct access to the driveway.
