Maudlin Road is situated on the southern edge of Totnes, and Kandra is located on a ‘dead end’ spur off this pretty, semi-rural lane. Totnes, once named as one of the top 30 coolest places in Britain by the Sunday Times, sits on the banks of the River Dart and offers a rich mix of quirky, independent shops, historic sites and vibrant twice a week markets, alongside many restaurants, coffee shops and pubs. KEVICC’s secondary school is in the town, as is a leisure centre, a cinema, community hospital and supermarket.

The train station, which provides regular access to London in 2 hrs 40 mins, is according to Google maps, an 18-minute walk from Kandra. The A38 is about 6 miles and connects with the M5 at Exeter. The edge of Dartmoor is about 5 miles, and Blackpool Sands, one of the most beautiful Blue Flag beaches in the West Country, is about 11 miles.

Kandra is a modern and beautifully presented semi-detached house which has been extended and modernised by the current owners. Works have been extensive and include wiring, plumbing, double glazed windows and landscaping of the gardens. The ground floor comprises a large entrance hall and a spacious reception room that can also be used as the fourth bedroom, as it benefits from an adjoining shower room. The shower room is also accessed through the small laundry room, which ensures it can be for guest use without the need to go through the bedroom. The first floor is beautifully and creatively designed, with a living room featuring a woodburning stove in a fire recess, and a large picture window offering superb views. The kitchen benefits from a further sitting area and a breakfast bar, and is open plan to the dining room, where there is an abundance of natural light and double doors leading to the garden. Appliances include a hob, two ovens, a fridge / freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a guest cloakroom on this floor.

Stairs rise to the galleried landing on the second floor, where there are three bedrooms, two of which are spacious double rooms, and a third smaller room that fits bunk beds, desks and shelving. A family bathroom compliments all three bedrooms, with the additional shower room being found on the ground floor.

The south-facing gardens have been landscaped to ensure they are largely maintenance free and well-stocked with colourful plants and shrubs for year-round enjoyment. There are seating areas and dining areas, and sleeper steps rise to the studio and further terrace, where there is room for a tub. The gardens are simply delightful and complement this beautiful house very well.
