THIS period semi-detached residence stands in one of the most highly regarded areas of Saltash and has been sympathetically restored so that it retains many of its characteristic features.

On the ground floor of the immaculately presented property, which is in Higher Port View, there are three good-size reception rooms, a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and a cloakroom.

The rooms includes a lounge and a conservatory, both with large windows which overlook the rear garden and provide views towards the River Tamar and Mount Edgcumbe in the distance.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms – the master bedroom with en-suite facilities – and the main bathroom.

The first-floor landing provides access to a large loft space which could be converted to provide additional rooms, subject to the necessary planning consents.

One of the main features of the property is the large private rear garden, which takes full advantage of the extensive views.

The property, which has gas central heating and uPVC double glazing, is within walking distance of the town and its amenities and facilities.

These include a selection of shops, a post office, banks, places of worship, a library, primary and secondary schools, restaurants and public houses, a leisure centre, a sailing club and a golf course.

There are also regular train and bus services, and both the coast and countryside are within driveable reach.
