About this property

  • Clifton House is an iconic period property, finished to a high standard throughout, and occupying a spectacular south west facing position on The Strand in Topsham. The building has been sympathetically modernised whilst retaining many of its original features, to create a characterful and spacious home, with plenty of outdoor space including substantial and private gardens to the rear, and off-road parking and a waterside garden to the front.

    The ground floor accommodation comprises a reception hall with cloakroom and staircase to the first floor. There is a sitting room to the front and a dining room to the rear, which has French doors opening to a terrace and the rear gardens. There is a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, with an Aga and bay window with river views. From the kitchen, there is a sitting room/snug area and access to a utility/boot room and further to a study. From here there is a staircase to guest bedroom suite, which could be made self-contained if required.

    An ornate staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing, where there is a further reception room, traditionally used as a drawing room, enjoying river views, which could also be used as a bedroom as required. The principal bedroom suite also has river views, a dressing room with fitted storage cupboards and an en suite bathroom. There is a further guest bedroom suite on this floor and a staircase to the second floor, with two further bedrooms, a bathroom and attic/play room.

    Unusually for a property of the period, there is an integral double garage, which can be accessed from the ground floor reception hall, whilst also having garage doors to the front and rear.

    The gardens are a highlight, with the front garden having off-road parking for at least two vehicles, a level lawn and terrace with steps to a running mooring, suitable for a small boat. The rear garden has been terraced and beautifully landscaped, with sheltered seating areas, a level lawn, green house, outbuildings and a vegetable garden.
