On a generous corner plot, in a popular coastal village location, this detached 4 bedroom family home offers light filled accommodation, with scope to adapt and allow new owners to put their own mark on this versatile house with sunroom, study, double garage, gated driveway parking and private, well stocked established gardens, log store, greenhouse and summer house.
Extended in 2002/3 and originally built by local contractors Lemon and Bunker in the 1960’s, the recently installed covered porch at the front of the property leads into a welcoming hallway accessed off the inner porch and the reception rooms flow nicely into one another from this light filled central hall. The triple aspect sitting room has a working open fireplace and leads into a bright and airy sunroom overlooking the front garden. The dining room divides the kitchen and utility with a clever use of windows to harness the light, making the configuration run smoothly and giving scope for adaptable options as to room usage. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views out over open countryside. A downstairs loo, and access through the utility room (which houses the Worcester combi boiler, installed in 2021) to the double garage, complete the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs the front double bedrooms offer far reaching views out towards the sea and expansive open views over rolling countryside. A contemporary white bathroom suite in the family bathroom and a separate shower room serve all 4 first floor bedrooms, with the characterful back bedrooms overlooking the gardens. Built in cupboards and under eaves storage and space are a feature upstairs.
Double gates and a pedestrian gate secure the property from the road and the gardens are not overlooked. A driveway for 2 cars leads to the double garage with electric roller door and the house offers great opportunities for internal and external modifications subject to the necessary Planning Permissions.
The gardens that wrap around Dolphin Cottage offer a secluded haven from which to enjoy leisure and gardening pursuits – established hedges frame the main lawn, with well-maintained borders and flower beds adding colour and interest. A painted summer house, with covered seating area, is an ideal spot for year-round relaxing. The ‘productive’ section of the gardens on the other side of the house includes raised vegetable beds, an attractive paved area with greenhouse and good rear storage. The adaptable currently named ‘blue room’ has access out into this well curated garden and would make an ideal home office/study or 5th bedroom.
Lifestyle
The large village of Wembury, boasts many amenities including a Post Office and Village Stores, a thriving primary school and a doctors’ surgery. It is most well known for its National Trust owned beach, with the Wembury Marine Centre, and features rock-pools, and a café, and adjacent landmark of St Werburgh’s Church. The fabulous coastline, accessible by the South West Coast Path extend to the Yealm Estuary, Heybrook Bay and Bovisand. Away from tourist routes, Wembury, is a location that offers a “best of both worlds”, surrounded by open country and yet is only about 3 miles from the amenities of the Plymouth suburb of Plymstock, and 6 miles from the City Centre and Waterfront.
