THE PROPERTY.
Uplands is a particularly attractive and substantial period residence which sits on an elevated plot of about a third of an acre and gains spectacular panoramic views over the town to the sea, Axe Estuary and Axe Cliff beyond. The property was built circa 1925 and is of traditional construction with principally rendered elevations under a tiled roof and is of handsome proportions with its high gables, bay and deep eaves.

Uplands retains a wealth of character in the Edwardian style with generous room sizes and notable features such as panelled doors, cornicing, picture rails and an impressive staircase with timber detailing to the first-floor landing. It does, however, have all the modern conveniences one would expect and the principal rooms, many of which have a double or triple aspect, take advantage of the superb views.

The property has been under the current ownership since 2007 and during this time it has been the subject of a considerable programme of improvement, resulting in the well-appointed home we find today. Worthy of particular mention is the superb contemporary kitchen from the highly regarded Colyton Kitchens which is very well-equipped and is extensively fitted and with high gloss units under granite work surfaces. The sitting room features a modern Stovax fire set in a Crema Marfil Marble surround and there are a further two large reception rooms making the accommodation flexible in its arrangement. To the first floor are five double bedrooms, two of which have en-suites and another feature are the two balconies from which there are magnificent views.

GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Undoubtedly, one of the main features of Uplands is its superb, well-established garden which has been beautifully tended over the years and has a great deal of variety and maturity, as well as being particularly private. The gardens surround the house and are in the main laid to lawn and tiered on several levels with low stone walls and profusely stocked shrub beds. There are also several seating areas which take advantage of the delightful views.

Uplands is approached from the private cul de sac through timber gates which lead to a parking area. There is also a second access providing additional parking and giving access to a large single garage/store and a timber shed/workshop. Behind this is a raised vegetable bed.
