Description
Strete House is a stunning Victorian residence with Edwardian additions, offering a perfect blend of period character and modern living. The property, believed to have been built as a country retreat for the Barclays banking dynasty, boasts elegant and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, large windows, and fantastic natural light. The house features a picturesque setting with fine views over the East Devon countryside and a choice of walks from the front door. With over 3,200 square feet of adaptable accommodation across three floors, the property retains many of its original period features, including an impressive inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. The house is approached along a private driveway with a glorious kitchen garden, orchard, and double garage, and has planning permission for a two-bedroom detached annexe lodge. The property's south-facing garden, which amounts to approximately one acre, features a large patio area, a summer house, and a well-maintained woodland walk with orchard, vegetable garden, and fruit cage.
