Atwell Martin are delighted to present this substantial, beautifully presented and exceptionally versatile family home situated on Torr Lane, within the highly sought-after Hartley area of Plymouth.
Arranged over three floors, this impressive property offers an abundance of flexible living accommodation and has clearly been a much-loved family home. Thoughtfully improved and beautifully maintained by the current owners, the house combines generous proportions, character features and contemporary finishes to create a home perfectly suited to modern family life.
From the moment you enter, there is a welcoming sense of space. The entrance hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation, together with a convenient WC, while the layout offers a fantastic choice of living areas that can adapt as a family’s requirements change.
A particular strength of the property is the versatility of its reception space. There is a separate formal lounge, creating a comfortable room for relaxing and entertaining, while another of the living areas is currently used as a dedicated children’s playroom. This fantastic space benefits from bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the house and outside space. Previously used as a home gym, the room demonstrates just how adaptable the accommodation can be and could equally become a snug, home office, games room or additional reception room depending on the requirements of the next owner.
The kitchen is another impressive feature and provides a wonderfully sociable heart to the home. Generous cabinetry, extensive preparation space and a substantial breakfast bar create an excellent setting for everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen also benefits from underfloor heating, an integrated dishwasher and integrated wine fridge, while a cleverly concealed laundry/utility area sits behind floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, allowing the practical elements of family life to be neatly tucked away.
The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area, creating an excellent space for family meals and entertaining. Here, a further set of bi-fold doors opens directly onto the garden, allowing the entire space to feel wonderfully connected to the outside and providing an ideal arrangement for entertaining during the warmer months.
The first floor provides four generously proportioned bedrooms, all beautifully presented and enjoying plenty of natural light.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, creating a wonderfully spacious retreat with excellent fitted storage. There are three sets of double wardrobes to either side, incorporating generous hanging space, drawers and further storage, together with the added benefit of its own private en-suite bathroom. Above the en-suite is a substantial additional storage area, providing an exceptional amount of useful storage space and further adding to the practicality of the home.
A second generous bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities, providing excellent accommodation for older children, family members or visiting guests. Two further bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation on this floor, both offering excellent flexibility for family life, guests or home working.
In addition to the two en-suites, there is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, giving the property an excellent level of bathroom provision for a busy household. The bathrooms have been finished to an impressive standard with contemporary fittings, extensive tiling and stylish sanitaryware, with the family bathroom particularly striking thanks to its freestanding bath.
Continuing to the top floor, the converted loft provides an impressive fifth bedroom, currently arranged and enjoyed by the owners as a fantastic home cinema and entertainment room. This is a particularly generous and versatile space, with roof windows bringing in plenty of natural light while benefiting from integrated fitted blinds, allowing the room to be easily darkened when being enjoyed as a cinema.
While providing the home’s fifth bedroom, the size and flexibility of this room means it could be adapted to suit the requirements of the next owner, whether as a substantial bedroom, home office, snug, games room, teenage retreat or hobby space. There is also additional storage within the eaves, maximising the practicality of the top floor and providing valuable concealed storage.
It is this variety of accommodation that makes the property on Torr Lane particularly special. With a formal lounge, separate playroom, generous kitchen and dining space, five bedrooms, two en-suites, a family bathroom and multiple adaptable living spaces, there is an exceptional amount of flexibility for a growing family. The property allows everyone to spend time together while still providing separate spaces for work, play and relaxation.
Outside, the property continues to impress. To the rear is a south-facing garden, creating a fantastic space for families, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. Bi-fold doors from both the dining area and playroom provide a wonderful connection between the internal and external living spaces, making the garden feel like a natural extension of the home.
To the front, the property benefits from a brick-paved driveway providing off-road parking, together with a garage offering further parking or valuable storage. Additional on-street parking is also available, making the property particularly practical for a busy family household.
Throughout the home, it is evident how much care and attention the current owners have invested in the property. From the individually decorated bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathrooms to the sociable kitchen, adaptable family spaces and fantastic cinema room, this is a house that has been genuinely loved and enjoyed as a family home. The thoughtful improvements and presentation throughout have created a property that feels both stylish and welcoming, while retaining all of the practicality required for everyday family life.
