I saw this house, inside and out in the mid 1980s and it was truly idyllic. At the time it was owned by a Cdr Anderton RN and his wife. We wanted to buy it and as we had two young children it would have been perfect. Our house took too long to sell however, so Totney House was sold to some other lucky person. I remember the tiled bathroom in particular but the whole house was lovely.
The is a picture of Totney House on lower Kingsdown Road. I was captivated by this house as a small child walking past it, with its white-washed walls and thatched roof. I eventually got to go inside when a school friend's family moved into it in the 1970s, the views from the terrace at the back of the house were incredible, and the house itself was as lovely as I hoped it would be.
