Description - Offered for sale for the first time in over a decade, this hugely appealing, superbly proportioned and well-rounded home offers quality, comfort and convenience in equal measure, having been thoroughly improved and refurbished during our clients' ownership.

Built, we understand, during the 1970s and extended in the 1990s, the house is characterised by a number of sizeable, bright and open rooms, most of which face south and/or east, and therefore enjoy some spectacular, far-reaching views over the property's gardens and the neighbouring Tors of Dartmoor. Of particular note is the house's incredible garden, which extends away to the south and also encompasses a very large sun deck, walled patio area and a timber barbeque lodge. Additionally, there is extensive parking and outbuildings in the form of garaging, a machinery store and a sizeable workshop.

Accommodation - The house is accessed through an entrance porch into a welcoming reception hallway where there is an under-stair cloaks and boots cupboard, a WC and a dedicated utility/pantry with spaces for the laundry appliances. The principal, triple-aspect living room is centered around a brick open fireplace and enjoys the superb views, whilst to one side is a useful study area. The kitchen - very much the focal point of the house - is equipped with an excellent range of cupboards and cabinets with granite worktops incorporating a Schock composite sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Bosch fridge and Neff dishwasher, plus a Rangemaster cooker with 6 ring burners, a double oven and a grill. The kitchen is a socially-oriented space with a snug sitting area featuring a log burner at one end, opening into the south-facing sun room/dining room extension with patio doors leading out to the garden. At first-floor level are three double bedrooms, including a master suite with fitted wardrobes, a contemporary en-suite shower room and access out to a good-sized balcony terrace, and a 4-piece family bathroom.

Garden And Outbuildings - The house is approached into a good-sized parking area where there is access to a stone-built garage/machinery shed and an adjoining workshop, both with power and lighting. The property’s principal gardens are an undoubted highlight, extending to around half an acre of mainly level lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees, and colourful, well-stocked borders. A substantial raised deck runs the length of the rear of the house (renewed 12 months ago), to one side of which is a pretty walled terrace where there is access to a further attached garage/workshop. Set on its own patio, within the garden, is a timber-built barbeque lodge housing a Polar Metalli barbeque and grill, with internal benches which double as lift-up sleeping platforms.
