Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Brixham, TQ5 :
Once the home of the writer Flora Thompson, Lauriston is one of Brixham's hidden gems. Set on the hillside above New Road, only a few minutes easy walk to the town centre and with the bus passing, the five bedroom detached house, dating from 1728, stands in its own secluded garden. The house, entered via a covered verandah at the front offers a quite delightful home. The living room with its twin fireplaces linking with the large farmhouse kitchen provide the focus of the living space. The three principal bedrooms, together with shower room and bathroom are on the first floor. On the top floor are two further attic bedrooms. The house offers a wealth of character with sections of original stone wall, ceiling beams and various nooks and crannies. The garden is truly unexpected. Gradually climbing the hillside by way of several terraces it is capped with an area of tranquillity planted with ferns, conifers and bamboos set against a natural rock face. The private driveway from New Road offers ample parking and leads to a garage. A studio, under house store/workshop and garden cellar complete the picture. There is gas fired central heating. A truly unique property.
