Description

An elegant Victorian residence set an idyllic position offering a great degree of privacy, impressive garaging and established grounds in the region of 1 acre.

The Property - This handsome property is principally built of mellow stone elevations under a slate tiled roof and has a number of fine character features incorporated within its attractive façade. The accommodation is well planned and adaptable in its arrangement with elegant reception rooms and excellent ceiling heights throughout. Little Park is arranged over three floors and offers in excess of 3000 sq ft of floor space along with beautiful countryside views from the upper floors. The original double fronted layout has been greatly extended over the years. Despite being in need of some general repair and updating all three of the property’s bathrooms have been remodelled featuring contemporary styling, while the well equipped kitchen includes an Aga and granite work surfacing. Little Park is a distinctive and impressive country home which certainly merits personal inspection to appreciate the location and the scale of potential on offer.

Accommodation - The scale of the accommodation becomes apparent on entering Little Park where you are greeted by a spacious reception hall, believed to have been one of the original reception rooms to the house this space provides an impressive multi purpose room with tiled flooring. To your left is the main reception room, enjoying a dual aspect which is further enhanced by a deep bay window over looking the lawned garden. Double doors lead through to the family room and in turn a modern garden room. A formal dining room with woodburning stove adjoins the kitchen and there is additional storage space in the form of a scullery. A practical lean to boot room adjoins the rear elevation. To the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which include ensuite bathrooms with worthy mention going to the impressive proportions of the master suite which includes a separate dressing room and large bathroom with beautiful outlook towards Shute Hill Woods. Two further bedrooms and cloakroom are located on the second floor.

Outside - The property is approached from the lane via a gated driveway with high laurel hedging providing an excellent screen. There is a driveway and parking area providing ample parking along with the double garage. To your right is a small vegetable garden, including two greenhouses. The paddock sits beyond this, with a timber framed twin stable block situated in the far corner. It is also worth noting that the paddock has its own gated access from the lane. The paddock also has a selection of mature trees. The majority of the formal garden sit to the front of Little Park, they are bordered by a variety of trees and hedging. Scattered throughout the gardens is a great selection of Camellias, Rhododendrons and Clematis. A concrete yard sits to the western elevation where you will find the oil tank. The buildings, gardens and grounds measure approximately 1 acre.

Situation - Little Park is located on the western fringes of the ever popular village of Kilmington with beautiful East Devon countryside on your doorstep. The village provides an excellent range of local facilities including a primary school, two churches, village hall, cricket pitch and play park, including tennis courts.
