2 Bed Terraced House For Sale

3 The Bothy is located in an enviable position on the private Rousdon Estate. The Rousdon Estate dates back to the 1870s when Sir Henry Peek commissioned a Tudor style estate and mansion, which is now Grade II* Listed, to be built on the land. The estate later became a school until it was sympathetically redesigned for residential use. Today, there is an active and social community with summer barbeques and Christmas carol services. The estate is approximately 150 metres above sea level and the 350 acres of parkland provide an array of woodland and countryside walks bordered by a private beach on the dramatic East Devon Jurassic coastline. The purchasers will have access to this surrounding estate and private Charton beach.

3 The Bothy features attractive original details including exposed timber beams and stonework alongside neutral and understated decor throughout. The main living space is the open-plan sitting area and kitchen which features a dual aspect and a vaulted ceiling welcoming plenty of natural light, as well as a feature woodburning stove. The kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, a peninsula with a breakfast bar and modern integrated appliances. A hallway leads to two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The current owners have created a mezzanine space on the first floor with a cloakroom beyond. £5,000.00 of the price is included for the one Share Certificates in the Estate, which can only be held by property owners.

There is a lovely private lawned garden to the rear bordered partly by mature trees with a nice open aspect over open fields.
