East Moore Green, Diptford

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market this detached, energy-efficient country home which offers over 2,000 square foot of space and approximately 0.5-0.6 acres of pasture land at the rear (shown approximately edged blue on the plan). The home is being offered for sale in a bid to find its first owners and if you exchange contracts by Christmas 2024, the Developer will pay the Stamp Duty Land Tax*.

Situated within an exclusive development with only three other properties, this home is ideal for those seeking the country life but wanting the balance of accessibility and convenience nearby. Both the popular town of Totnes and the A38 Devon Expressway, which provides access to the cities of Plymouth and Exeter and beyond are located just over 5 miles from the home. It is anticipated that the energy performance rating for the property will be an A with the home being constructed of highly efficient and insulating ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) with triple glazed windows.

If an abundance of outside space is important to you, please speak to us as there is further land at the rear of the home which is available via separate negotiation either as a whole or in parts. There is around a further 7.3 acres in total, the whole parcel of which is shown approximately edged red on the enclosed plan. There are currently no services connected. 

Plot 2 "Barrow” offers the more traditional way of living, with a good-sized kitchen-dining room on one side of the home and a separate living room on the other. The kitchen-dining room benefits from having French doors which open into the garden, ideal for bringing the outside inside in the warmer summer months. There is a fully fitted kitchen with soft-close cupboards and drawers, plus a Bosch microwave, cooker and induction island hob and an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a useful utility room, which has further fitted units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer plus there is a back door, which is handy for accessing the home if you have muddy shoes or paws. A further internal space offers room for an office if you are working from home, or could be utilised as a useful play area or cinema room for the family. A WC completes the downstairs of the home. There are Porcelain tiles in the hallway, kitchen and utility room plus underfloor heating to all of the ground floor and oak doors with satin nickel furniture throughout. 

Stairs ascend to the first-floor landing, which accesses all the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a dressing area which leads into the en-suite shower room and the second bedroom enjoys it's own en-suite too. Two further double bedrooms enjoy some far-reaching views towards Dartmoor and have use of the family bathroom. 

To the front of the property is parking for two vehicles, plus there is an integral garage with an electric door. At the side of the home there is a Southerly-facing paved patio area, plus some level-turfed garden which is then tiered up to a hedgerow, providing the opportunity to create a terraced garden, which is enclosed with feather-edged fencing.      

*DISCLAIMER: The Stamp Duty Land Tax will only be paid by the Developer if exchange of contracts takes place on or before the 24th December 2024 and the amount payable will be no greater than £26,250.

DIPTFORD

Diptford, a pretty South Hams village with a parish church and primary school, is about five miles from Totnes and three miles from the A38 at Marley Head. The village and its surrounding countryside are in an area of outstanding natural beauty. South Brent, within about three miles, has a useful choice of shops and a post office. Totnes, known as an Elizabethan town but much older with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station (London 3 hours), has a community college, a full range of shops, a weekly market and a wide choice of cultural facilities.

TOTNES 

The unique and charming market town of Totnes sits above the River Dart in the heart of the South Hams. The town is one of Devon's gems, the birthplace of the Transition Town movement in England and nominated in British Airways' HighLife magazine as one of the world's top ten funky towns. Full of colour and character, its atmosphere is cosmopolitan with a West Country flavour and those looking for history, alternative therapies and beautiful countryside will find it in and around Totnes. The town is said to have more listed buildings per head of the population than anywhere else in Britain. With a twice-a-week market and full of small independent shops, it's well-known for ethical products, wholefoods and fair trade goods. It is the second oldest borough in England, with an ancient Guildhall and Church, a Norman Castle and its North and East Gates. There is a well-regarded community college and a mainline railway station and Dartmoor, the South Hams and many of its fine beaches are within easy reach.
