Pitt House is your quintessential character cottage, steeped in history and with a chocolate box cottage facade. This delightful cross passage home has a rich history and is reputed to have welcomed William of Orange soon after he landed in Brixham in 1688. In recent times, it has been a well known restaurant to locals followed by a change of usage a short time ago to a full residential dwelling. The cottage has since been meticulously and sympathetically modernised to an extremely high standard. Pitt House provides generous and well proportioned accommodation well suited to modern trends despite its considerable age. The property provides a traditional layout with reception rooms to the ground floor and four bedrooms to the first floor level. Should one be looking for multi-generational living or an income stream then the large double bedroom with en suite with its own private entrance on the ground floor is certainly an added bonus. The property has benefitted from a superb extension in the 1980’s in the form of a bespoke kitchen and dining room with doors leading out to the well manicured garden and level outside sun terrace. Outside, there is a substantial garden of around 0.75 acre comprising a level sun patio, sections of lawned garden and there are areas which have been left natural for the abundance of wildlife. There are also mature trees which provide an excellent degree of privacy to this lovely home. There is ample storage in the form of a recently re-renovated double garage and store offering practicality as well. There is plenty of parking for numerous cars too. SELLERS INSIGHT
Pitt House is nestled in the oldest and most historic parts of Kingskerswell Village. The house charmed us from the moment we viewed it. Despite its central location its large peaceful garden which surrounds the house gives a sense of privacy and tranquillity . The close proximity of Torquay allowed us to keep our boat on Torquay marina, making for easy access as desired. The historical significance of our 16th Century cottage, set in close proximity to the even older church, dated 14th Century has long been of interest to local historians. We are told that when William of Orange and his Armada landed in Brixham, Torbay on November 5th 1688, he stayed the night at Pitt House on his way to Newton Abbott where his declaration was proclaimed. The heart of our home is where we gather as a family, whether in our lovely bright kitchen where many meals have been prepared and shared with family and friends or in our gorgeous sitting room with its lovely log burner or in the snug to watch a movie. At every turn we are surrounded by the historic walls of our home. Our affection for Pitt House is matched by that of the local area itself. Initially drawn to the house and its proximity to Torquay marina and the beautiful South Devon Coastline rather than the village we quickly discovered the friendliness and warmth of the community here. The area is well served with good restaurants, lovely local pubs, a theatre, cinema and Exeter City is on the doorstep. Living so close to Dartmoor National Park gives easy access to lovely walks and cycle routes with miles of lovely uninterrupted views. STEP INSIDE
On approaching Pitt House you are struck by the age and character of this wonderful home. On entering, this is very much mirrored internally with modern sympathetic updates. From the main front door, an entrance hallway bisects the two main reception rooms. Both are light and spacious in size and with an abundance of features that include oak plank and muntin screens, beamed ceilings and feature inglenook fireplaces with bread ovens and cast iron wood burners. The main sitting room leads through to a small inner hallway where the utility room, separate toilet and kitchen/dining room radiate off it. As previously mentioned, the kitchen/dining room is a fabulous modern addition to this house and enthuses inside outside living to its full potential. It provides a comprehensive range of base level and wall mounted cream units with granite work tops, range style cooker and integrated appliances. There is a useful downstairs bedroom with en suite facilities and its own private door leading outside. This could well provide an income stream or be suitable for an elderly relative looking for single storey living. To the first floor level is a linear landing with windows looking out to the rear garden. The landing opens up to provide a potential study area and there is a small secondary landing leading to the en suite master bedroom bathroom. In total, there are four bedrooms with two bedrooms interconnecting or providing a master suite with bathroom and dressing room. All of the bedrooms are well proportioned and light with pleasant outlooks. There is a second modern bathroom suite to the far end of the landing, again of exceptional quality and with underfloor heating. STEP OUTSIDE
Pitt House sits within a generous plot of 0.75 acre. Centrally located within the old original part of the village it is surrounded by attractive homes of a similar style. A small shared area of driveway leads to a long curved private driveway to the main parking area and cottage. There is parking here for numerous vehicles and a double garage with storage area to the side which has been completely re-renovated by the current owners. There is additional storage to the side of the cottage and an outside wc and log store. It is immediately evident that a lot of time and attention has gone into this garden. From the sunny sun terrace or dining area directly outside to the raised seating platform high up in the garden, there is plenty of variety. There is a natural area of grassland to the top of the land as well as mature trees which provide excellent screening and privacy. There is a babbling brook that runs down through the main garden and this in itself is a feature of this characterful home. LOCATION

- Garden INTRODUZIONE
Pitt House è il cottage per eccellenza, ricco di storia e con una facciata da cottage a scatola di cioccolatini. Questa deliziosa casa di passaggio trasversale ha una ricca storia e si dice che abbia accolto Guglielmo d'Orange subito dopo il suo sbarco a Brixham nel 1688. In tempi recenti, è stato un ristorante ben noto alla gente del posto, seguito da un cambio di destinazione d'uso poco tempo fa in un'abitazione residenziale completa. Da allora il cottage è stato meticolosamente e simpaticamente modernizzato secondo uno standard estremamente elevato. Pitt House offre alloggi generosi e ben proporzionati, ben adattati alle tendenze moderne, nonostante la sua notevole età. La proprietà offre un layout tradizionale con sale di ricevimento al piano terra e quattro camere da letto al primo piano. Se si è alla ricerca di una vita multigenerazionale o di un flusso di reddito, allora la grande camera matrimoniale con bagno privato con ingresso privato al piano terra è sicuramente un ulteriore vantaggio. La proprietà ha beneficiato di una superba estensione nel 1980 sotto forma di una cucina su misura e sala da pranzo con porte che conducono al giardino ben curato e terrazza solarium esterna a livello. All'esterno, c'è un giardino sostanziale di circa 0,75 acri che comprende un patio solarium pianeggiante, sezioni di giardino con prato e ci sono aree che sono state lasciate naturali per l'abbondanza di fauna selvatica. Ci sono anche alberi maturi che forniscono un eccellente grado di privacy a questa bella casa. C'è un ampio spazio di archiviazione sotto forma di un garage doppio recentemente ristrutturato e un negozio che offre anche praticità. C'è anche un ampio parcheggio per numerose auto. APPROFONDIMENTI SUI VENDITORI
Pitt House si trova nelle parti più antiche e storiche del villaggio di Kingskerswell. La casa ci ha affascinato dal momento in cui l'abbiamo vista. Nonostante la sua posizione centrale, il suo ampio e tranquillo giardino che circonda la casa dona un senso di privacy e tranquillità. La vicinanza di Torquay ci ha permesso di mantenere la nostra barca sul porto turistico di Torquay, facilitando l'accesso a piacere. Il significato storico del nostro cottage del 16 ° secolo, situato nelle immediate vicinanze della chiesa ancora più antica, datato 14 ° secolo è stato a lungo di interesse per gli storici locali. Ci viene detto che quando Guglielmo d'Orange e la sua armata sbarcarono a Brixham, Torbay il 5 novembre 1688, trascorse la notte a Pitt House sulla strada per Newton Abbott dove fu proclamata la sua dichiarazione. Il cuore della nostra casa è il luogo in cui ci riuniamo come famiglia, sia nella nostra bella cucina luminosa dove sono stati preparati molti pasti e condivisi con la famiglia e gli amici, sia nel nostro splendido salotto con la sua bella stufa a legna o nell'accogliente sala da letto per guardare un film. Ad ogni angolo siamo circondati dalle mura storiche della nostra casa. Il nostro affetto per Pitt House è pari a quello della zona stessa. Inizialmente attratti dalla casa e dalla sua vicinanza al porto turistico di Torquay e alla bellissima costa del South Devon piuttosto che al villaggio, abbiamo rapidamente scoperto la cordialità e il calore della comunità qui. La zona è ben servita con buoni ristoranti, deliziosi pub locali, un teatro, un cinema e la città di Exeter è a portata di mano. Vivere così vicino al Parco Nazionale di Dartmoor offre un facile accesso a incantevoli passeggiate e piste ciclabili con chilometri di incantevoli panorami ininterrotti. ENTRA
Avvicinandosi a Pitt House si rimane colpiti dall'età e dal carattere di questa meravigliosa casa. Entrando, questo è molto rispecchiato internamente con moderni aggiornamenti simpatici. Dal portone principale, un corridoio d'ingresso divide in due le due sale di ricevimento principali. Entrambi sono luminosi e spaziosi e con un'abbondanza di caratteristiche che includono schermi in assi di quercia e montanti, soffitti con travi a vista e caminetti inglenook con forni per il pane e bruciatori a legna in ghisa. Il salotto principale conduce ad un piccolo corridoio interno da cui si irradiano il ripostiglio, il bagno separato e la cucina/sala da pranzo. Come accennato in precedenza, la cucina/sala da pranzo è una favolosa aggiunta moderna a questa casa e entusiasma la vita all'interno ed esterno al massimo delle sue potenzialità. Fornisce una gamma completa di unità color crema a livello base e a parete con piani di lavoro in granito, fornello e elettrodomestici integrati. C'è un'utile camera da letto al piano inferiore con bagno privato e la sua porta privata che conduce all'esterno. Questo potrebbe fornire un flusso di reddito o essere adatto a un parente anziano in cerca di una vita a un piano. Al primo piano si trova un pianerottolo lineare con finestre che si affacciano sul giardino posteriore. Il pianerottolo si apre per fornire una potenziale area studio e c'è un piccolo pianerottolo secondario che conduce al bagno della camera da letto principale con bagno privato. In totale, ci sono quattro camere da letto con due camere da letto comunicanti o che forniscono una suite padronale con bagno e spogliatoio. Tutte le camere da letto sono ben proporzionate e luminose con viste piacevoli. C'è un secondo bagno moderno all'estremità del pianerottolo, anch'esso di qualità eccezionale e con riscaldamento a pavimento. PASSO FUORI
Pitt House si trova all'interno di un generoso appezzamento di 0,75 acri. Situato in posizione centrale all'interno della parte antica e originale del villaggio, è circondato da attraenti case di uno stile simile. Una piccola area carrabile condivisa conduce a un lungo vialetto privato curvo per il parcheggio principale e il cottage. Qui c'è un parcheggio per numerosi veicoli e un garage doppio con ripostiglio laterale che è stato completamente ristrutturato dagli attuali proprietari. C'è un ulteriore spazio di archiviazione sul lato del cottage e un wc esterno e un deposito di tronchi. È subito evidente che in questo giardino è stato dedicato molto tempo e attenzione. Dalla soleggiata terrazza soleggiata o dalla zona pranzo direttamente all'esterno alla piattaforma rialzata in alto nel giardino, c'è molta varietà. C'è un'area naturale di prateria nella parte superiore del terreno, nonché alberi maturi che offrono un'eccellente schermatura e privacy. C'è un ruscello gorgogliante che scorre attraverso il giardino principale e questo di per sé è una caratteristica di questa casa caratteristica. UBICAZIONE
