HS Owen Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market Hamilton House, a stunning period villa situated in the highly sought-after area of Chelston, just a short distance from the picturesque Cockington Village.

This impressive and substantial residence is arranged across three distinct sections: the principal living accommodation, a self-contained annexe area, and an extensive lower ground floor level, offering exceptional versatility for a variety of lifestyles and requirements.

The main house is rich in character and period charm, boasting high ceilings, large feature windows, and an abundance of original features throughout. The accommodation comprises a grand entrance hall, three principal reception rooms—two of which enjoy delightful views over the gardens—a bright and airy sun room, a kitchen, a family bathroom, and four generous double bedrooms. The principal accommodation is further enhanced by an en-suite shower room to one bedroom and a dedicated dressing room to another.

The annexe section offers excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or independent living space. Whilst requiring the most modernisation, it currently comprises two ground floor rooms, a kitchenette with access into the main house, and, on the first floor, two bedrooms and an unfinished shower room.

The extensive lower ground floor provides a wealth of additional accommodation and flexibility. Arranged around a central hallway, there are seven versatile rooms that have served a variety of purposes over the years, including storage, hobby rooms, and playrooms. A bathroom is also located on this level, making it well suited for conversion into ancillary accommodation, a granny annexe, home office suite, or other lifestyle-focused uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Externally, Hamilton House occupies a generous and beautifully established plot, with mature grounds enhanced by an array of striking palm trees that create a wonderful sense of character and grandeur. The lower garden features a substantial level lawn, providing an ideal space for family enjoyment, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing within the tranquil surroundings.

A magnificent sun terrace enjoys an elevated position overlooking the gardens and offers ample space for outdoor furniture, making it the perfect setting for al fresco dining and social gatherings throughout the warmer months.

To the front, a spacious driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, whilst a detached garage offers additional parking or storage. Beneath the garage is a useful workshop area, presenting excellent potential for hobby space, a home workshop, or further ancillary use.

The combination of extensive gardens, generous parking, and versatile outbuildings further enhances the appeal of this substantial period residence.

This property does need to be viewed to appreciate the space on offer and makes an ideal family home with a country feel yet within walking distance of Chelston and the local amenities at Walnut Road and Old Mill Road. Cockington Village, Torquay station, Torre Abbey and the seafront are all within close proximity to this property.
