A detached period house with a wealth of character, a large garden and two self-contained annexes, set in a peaceful rural hamlet within easy reach of Teignmouth, the River Teign estuary and the beautiful Devon coastline. The property offers more than 4,000 square feet of flexible accommodation and would benefit from some updating.

Home Humber is thought to date from the late 17th century and retains plenty of its original character with exposed timber beams and original fireplaces. The main house has two generous reception rooms at the front of the ground floor, including the sitting room which features wooden flooring, cast-iron, tile-decorated fireplace and a dual aspect allowing for a plenty of natural light, with window seats. There is also a comfortable dining room and towards the rear, a large kitchen fitted with modern units and a range cooker, plus an original inglenook fireplace with a logburner, and space for all the necessary appliances. An adjoining storeroom could be used as a utility/ larder providing space for further appliances and storage.

On the first floor, the main house offers three double bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms including the principal bedroom. There is also a large family bathroom with an airing cupboard on this floor as well as an additional W.C. The second floor offers a further two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a family room/study.

The self-contained annexes are both located towards the rear of the property. The first annexe features a sitting room and adjoining dining room on the ground floor, as well as a fully equipped kitchen, while upstairs there is one double bedroom and a bathroom. The second annexe is in need of complete renovation but currently comprises one double bedroom and an en suite shower room on the ground floor, with a kitchen and living area upstairs. The annexes provide excellent opportunities for multi-generational living or income potential.

At the front of the property, a gated pedestrian entrance opens to a pathway, which leads through to the front of the house. The generous garden surrounding the house has rolling lawns, shady wooded areas, fruit trees and various shrubs and flowering perennials. The garden is bordered by mature specimen trees providing a high degree of privacy. A courtyard area at the side of the property provides plenty of parking space as well as access to an outbuilding with three stores and an outdoor W.C.
