MIRANTE (MEANING)
Definition - “A summerhouse, vantage point or lookout”
INTRODUCTION
As the name suggests Mirante is a property occupying a generous size plot close to the popular South Hams coastline and beaches at Blackpool Sands and Slapton. The house occupies an elevated plot of 0.81 acre with a detached outbuilding or double garage and sea views.
Mirante is a detached timber framed two storey dwelling with (including the outbuilding / garage) 2,747 sq ft (255.1 sq m) of accommodation. The property offers highly adaptable living and was designed as a main home or separate self-contained accommodation to either floors. Currently, as a single dwelling, there are five bedrooms and three spacious receptions with further development opportunities to suit one’s requirements. There is potential (stpp) to demolish the house and rebuild on the footprint a grand new home or develop the site to provide multiple units (stpp). Historically, there was planning permission granted for a five bedroom detached bungalow to the side of the main house although this has now lapsed.
Mirante is an exciting opportunity to create a family home or develop the site sympathetically. The property is situated along a quiet road with excellent privacy with woodland behind. It provides a wonderful opportunity for a growing family with excellent schools nearby. It is also within the village plan for low density development and subject to the necessary consents provides an excellent opportunity. Mirante is being sold without a forwarding chain.
STEP INSIDE
Mirante is a traditional two storey dwelling. Despite requiring some updating there is a substantial footprint as previously mentioned with the top floor providing selfcontained living opportunities.
From the main entrance porch there are three reception rooms in the form of a sitting room, study and dining room, with the latter interlinking the kitchen. There is also a utility room, bathroom, separate wc, workshop and double bedroom to this level. The first floor living space could provide self contained living if required. A large reception room has four bedrooms and a bathroom suite radiating off it. There are some pleasant views from this level to the surrounding countryside, coastline and garden surrounding it.
STEP OUTSIDE
Mirante occupies a generous plot of 0.81 acre. Currently, there are large lawned areas of garden with plenty of natural flora and fauna and an abundance of wildlife evident. There is a large double garage or workshop a short distance from the main house and a private entrance to the side of the property.
