Within the heart of Devonport, one minute from the village and city ferry
stands Roc Roi, built circa 1900 as a gentlemans residence for a successful merchant. Resting on a generous 1376sqm site, this remarkable property consists of a grand historic home, double garage resort style landscaped gardens, potting shed, ponds, terraces with loggia and cabana. Fully renovated under the architectural supervision of Geoff Richards in 2004, great care has been taken to preserve the architectural integrity of the five or six bedroom home whilst upgrading it for contemporary living with a choice of modern conveniences including central heating. Exceptional character detailing includes original ceilings and chandeliers, floors, towering bay windows, five working fireplaces (two which are gas) and sweeping mahogany staircase. Offering exceptional facilities for entertaining on a grand or intimate scale the living rooms are beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, welcoming guests with a serene ambiance. A superb gourmet kitchen with butlers pantry is open to a large family living room, adding to the relaxed feel and offering effortless flow to the beautiful gardens. The adjoining original billiards room (with original table intact) is another space perfect for entertaining. The double garage has workshop facilities plus there is ample off street parking for guests or perhaps a boat. The village location offers a lifestyle where you can stroll to everything, including a choice of beaches or be in the city in ten minutes by ferry. This superb residence will enchant you. Early viewing is recommended.
