New Street, Honiton, EX14

A substantial attached five bedroom Grade II listed family home a short walk from Honiton High Street.

Claywell has been a much-loved family home for many years and is believed to date back to the late 18th century. The property has an interesting history which includes it once being Summerland College.

The accommodation is extremely generous and versatile, making it ideal for a large family or multi-generational living. The property includes many features that you would expect of a house of this age, including high ceilings, sash windows and picture rails.
The accommodation includes, on the ground floor, an entrance porch which leads into a large hallway with stairs to the first floor, and three receptions rooms, including a lounge with access to a conservatory, a dining room and a family room.

The dining room and family room have dividing doors which can be opened to create a large entertaining space. Also from the hallway there is access to the kitchen-breakfast room, which has access to the conservatory. From the family room there is access to a utility area, which in turn gives access to a back staircase leading to bedroom 5, a door to a single garage and a downstairs WC (which has planning approval for conversion to a shower room - 15/1236/LBC). There is also a door with step-free access to the front of the property.

This area has huge annexe potential (subject to regulations and planning approval).

On the first floor, a large landing gives access to four double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is dual aspect and has fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has an ensuite shower room. Bedroom 3 has fitted wardrobes and a sink and bedroom 4 has alternative access into a fifth double bedroom. The family bathroom includes a WC, wash basin, bath with shower over and a separate shower cubicle.

Worthy of note is the size of the loft. This was once a second floor to the college and is extremely generous in size.
The property further benefits from gas central heating with radiators throughout.
