Jackman House, Plymouth Rd, TQ9

FANCY A GRAND DESIGN?

CHECK OUT THIS HOME!

Built within the last 7 years this is a HOME OF DISTINCTION, QUALITY & MODERN DESIGN.

Jackman House is close to Totnes town centre, which has a variety of independent shops, amenities, schools, and train stations connecting Exeter, Cornwall, Bristol, and London. Totnes has a long history, dating back to 907AD, when its first castle was built. It was already a significant market town by the twelfth century, and the number of merchant houses built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries reflects its former prosperity. Totnes is situated on a hill that rises from the western bank of the River Dart, separating it from the suburb of Bridgetown. It is situated at the river's lowest bridging point, which is tidal and forms a winding estuary that flows into the sea at Dartmouth. The river remains tidal for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) above the town until it reaches Totnes Weir, which was built in the 17th century.

Today there are two road bridges, a railway bridge and a footbridge over the river in the town. Totnes Bridge is the nearest bridge to the sea.

Jackman House is a modern ECO style Home with a 93A Energy Rating. The property benefits from a MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) and triple Glazing by "Rationel".

This results in better-insulated, more airtight homes, necessitating the use of properly designed ventilation systems (that go beyond more traditional methods such as trickle vents and bathroom and kitchen extractors) to deliver fresh air. The advantages of MVHR systems can be numerous, ranging from improving air quality for those with allergies and respiratory diseases to reducing condensation and mould, providing a far more pleasant living environment.

Furthermore, there is underfloor heating throughout & a 2.5kw Photovoltaic Solar System upon the Sedum Roof. Mains electric, water & a private mini treatment plant for sewage are also provided.

Arriving at the home from the main road via a side lane, the property's unique design jumps out at you. A terraced landscaped garden frontage with olive and banana trees, as well as a patio area, greets you, with access to the double garage and a door into the ground floor inner hallway. The exterior of the building is clad in red cedar.

The Inner Hallway, which has ceramic floor tiling, features a unique floating effect cantilevered solid oak staircase. The ground floor accommodation includes three double bedrooms, all of which overlook and open out onto the landscaped frontage, a lovely bathroom and shower room, beautifully finished, censored lighting, underfloor heating, a second study and access to the double garage, which includes a Plant/Treatment Room and electric controls for the home's MVHR and PV system.

The first floor is where this Grand Design-style home comes to life. The oak staircase leads to the top level. On your left, you'll notice an Internal Cactus Winter Garden, which is truly unique, with large double glazed glass windows that overlook and lead out to the rear Garden areas.

The Open Plan Kitchen Dining Room is simply FANTASTIC! Large floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows, engineered oak flooring, and a central kitchen island with Corian countertops.

The kitchen is bespoke and designed by "Scavolini". Neff integrated appliances include a double oven, hob, cooker hood, and refrigerator. There is ample space for a large dining table for entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows provide complete privacy, bringing the outside in. This central area of the house can be separated from the main bedroom suite and the living room by sliding doors, or it can be completely opened to create a unique open plan space. A "Stovax" log burner in the centre of the room serves to heat both rooms.
The Living Room has stunning views of Totnes, Berry Pomeroy Castle, and beyond. Floor-to-ceiling triple glazed windows face the side and rear, providing a dual-aspect open view. As they slide open, you move from the engineered oak floor to the main patio area, then around to the garden.

The main bedroom suite is situated at the opposite end of the house. Again, lots of natural light, privacy, views, oak flooring, a lovely En-suite Shower Room, and plenty of storage/cupboard space.

Outside lawn garden areas surround the home, which sits on a 0.5-acre plot elevated and screened by various mature trees. A neighbouring property has the right to vehicular and pedestrian access across the front access lane.

This is a one-of-a-kind, uniquely designed property in the popular South Hams area.

Well worth a look!
